Hacking Question Removing SXOS

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

So I’ve got a switch. It’s on the latest firmware running SXOS. It’s never been online. I don’t have a NAND backup. It’s only ever been used to run XCI files and NSPs.

Is it possible to remove all traces of SXOS from the console /sad card so that it can be used as normal online?

Or would it still get banned?

Still would leave your nand dirty.

Has anyone been in the same position? Decided to risk it and not got banned?

If you've installed pirated games as NSP files, then you will certainly be banned if you try connecting to the internet.

If you installed pirated NSP files at any point, your only option might be to follow this guide to install a clean NAND, choosing the DO A SYSTEM INITIALIZE options throughout the guide, but there is still a decent chance you will be banned.

Not possible with the way Nintendo detect if a game has a legit tickets or not, backup you install has illegal tickets, going online would just get you ban.

Ok. I’m quite happy to leave it as it is. I was just wondering. Thanks guys.

This is the exact reason emunand exists. You do all the dirty hacking stuff away from your sysnand so that it will be kept clean
