For those who are using method one and want to take not getting banned a step further Id read the description. Id also recommend setting up safety boot to emummc in hekate so you dont accidentally launch your sysnand through cfw!
I have a Nintendo 2DS (original model) and I modded it but it broke I did send it to my local Game store to get fixed but they couldn't fix it, I kinda don't want to send it to Nintendo because I don't know what they'll do... What do I do?? Please help!!!
This video is VERY HELPFUL I already set up emunand and all that stuff when I first modded my switch I changed my wifi setting back to default and I was appearing online for a month and I’m still not banned thank god.
I ordered a unpatched Switch a few days ago, and I plan on doing method 1 so I can load NSP's. The exosphere file will be extremely useful, looking forward to trying these out. Appreciate all your time and help, liked and subscribed! 👍
That's why I'm getting a second switch disconnect all internet stuff from my old switch after I'm done transferring stuff and they won't even be the wiser because it will never be able to connect to the internet ever again
One more thing is that you actually can play gameplay altering mods online safely as long as your opponent has the same mods as you, like in an arena with friends fir example. Also you don’t need to remove them from your sd card you can simply toggle them off in the modded menu of smash which is accessed through the eshop symbol in the bottom right if the menu
Question, at the beginning of the video when he mentions if you download any sort of nyx or nsp games and you connect to the internet you will get banned, does he mean connecting to the internet on switch in general or connecting to online/the internet within these games? I already downloaded some nyx and nsp games while connected to the internet but I haven't played online within any games yet, am I cooked?
1:25 Isn't what you are saying here wrong? I mean, if you get banned, even with a backup, there's no way to reverse it. AFAIK nand backups are useful in case something goes wrong with the nand, you can use the backup to save your console.
What I don't understand: You're telling not to connect to the internet using the emunand. But in order to download games on Tinfoil you have to, right?
It's one of those things.. while you can take precautions to try avoid a ban its still always risky. I've had a mooded switch for a while now and I have never connected to the Internet, you can easily download switch nsp files of the Internet and transfer to ur sd card on ur computer and use something like dbi installer on the switch to install the games
Thanks for the information, very detailed. I don't plan on modding my Switch any time soon. Can I ask what are you using to have an animated desktop wallpaper?
I followed the steps very simply but doing the launch cfw emuMMC it says error loading fss0 atmosphere/package3 wrong ini cfg or missing/corrupt files failed to launch hos
Ok so I want to mod my switch and I'm planning to use mods in ACNH offline, but I also want to keep playing Splatoon online (without mods), with method 1 I could do this without risks, right?
Quick question, do all games have ban checks? If I were to use mechanic changing mods or mods in general on offline games like fe3h or Sonic Mania, could I use these without needing an emmuNAND or method 1?
most of them wil do i believe its because of nintendos rules or something but if you find some really bad games in development they might not have ban checks working yet
Hey sorry that im very late to this, but when i try to follow method one it cant launch and just shows me "no main boot entries found" Im not sure what ti di from here.
I have pirated my switch for over 2 years now, haven’t gotten banned. I incognito’d my sysnand, but played online on Nintendo servers through my Emunand. I’m not sure if these helped prevent me from getting banned. I really hope I don’t get banned at all, I only install pirates xci games, and I don’t hack or mod online publicly with random people, only by myself when I’m not playing with others. Does Nintendo detect what I am doing? Or can they?
Will I get banned if I use things like cheats for Pokemon Violet or Shield? Won't take them online but will utilization of cheats like changing levels and items in my inventory result in a ban? And will it apply if I use the save on my non-hacked switch?
if i follow your switch modding tutorial do i need to use one of these methods? (in the sdsetup files i did find a nsp file) im not planning on downloading roms but just game mods, im very new to modding so i appreciate the help!
I have a question, If I install animal crossing on my stock version through eshop but also having it installed on my SD card to use on emummc, will I still be able to go online as long as I launch the legit version while being in sys? Because my friend wants me to do a treausure island but obviously it would be pointless if I can invite them over...
can i play super smash bros or others games online if i have a custom firmware and only one mod on mario odyssey? (i didn't really understand the video beacause my english is bad)
I got a question. If I mod my save file on a single player game without modding my switch, is it likely I could get banned? I have been trying to find an answer to this for a few days now. I’ll appreciate any of the answers that’s being given. Thank you everyone for reading this.
Nice video ^^ Could i ran into a problem if i use mods only when im offline? Because i used to unplug my ethernet cable every time i played with mods 😅 Could Nintendo still ban me even though i'm not online? Thx for every answer in advance :)
For some reason, this does not seem to work for me. If I follow the instructions and enter the SD card into the PC afterwards, two particions show up, one with 89GBs and another one that's not recognised (it can be formatted though to show the 29GBs). All the Backup files are on the large partition, though, and all files that were there before are gone. If I try to launch emuMMC with that (but also with sysMMC), I get the following error message: Error while loading fss0: atmosphere/package3 Wrong ini cfg or missing/corrupt files! Failed to launch HOS! I've tried it twice and always get the same error.. How can I fix that?
The exact same thing happened to me. Would really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this; most of the 'help' I've seen people give was really condescending and/or in an annoyed tone, though I promise I followed every single step with the utmost caution.
Has the SD card been properly formatted to fat32? The two partitions is normal. One for your switch games and backups and one for your emummc. Make sure to not let your computer mess with those and don't click okay on any of the boxes that pop up. Sounds like your computer has formatted or deleted sections in an attempt to read both partitions.
So when making an exosphere and dns file, does this mean i cant connect to just the emunand switch? Or does it block the console entirely from going online??
Oi if I back up BotW using tin foil to my Switch would this cause me to get banned if it connects to the internet? Mostly just have safe mods for smash
Im very new to this and interested in modding a switch. So i want to but a switch and download all sorts of games for free. So my question is can i still go online on those games?
So based on my understanding, if I do all of this (method 1) then dump my games, and boot back into my regular sysnand unmodded once I'm done, I should be fine right?
If I dont boot to custom firmware, can I go online and play the essentially regular normal switch online, or use the eshop to buy games and DLC? Probably helpful to say all I do is mod smash.
Question, I’ve modded my switch yesterday, and I have Mario kart mods on it, is it more safe for me to use them in friend rooms than actual worldwide play? (FYI the only mods I have are texture changes, like wedding Mario for example).
i have a question. i want to mod only to overclock my switch so i can get better performance. Will nintendo ban me for that if im on wifi? and does overclocking still work on the base firmware. or do you have to use the 3rd party firmware to apply and use your clock?
I might just be stupid, but I was following your other video, and everything worked perfectly.. but when I went to reload into Hekate after backing up all the files..it won't load me into the CFW..any ideas?
Hi! Don't know if you'll see this, but do you know if I dump a game to the custom firmware backup for method 1 and then play the game online when going to the original firmware, will I get banned because I'm playing a backed up game on the regular firmware?
I am honestly kinda confused. In essence, emuNAND/emuMMC is just there to do the ""bad"" stuff like piracy without being connected online? But if I use my sysNAND with CFW, and connect online without having INSTALLED (dumping them is fine?) any XCI/NSP, f.e. for using skins or downloading purchased games the legal way, it is fine and safe?
I was searching for a similar question. I used through several months (6) my Nintendo Switch with Atmosphere, downloading several games constantly from Pixelshop. Any issues yet: I only used this softmodded console for downloading backups (Pixelshop Store), themes, watch crunchyroll, etc WITHOUT using a profile attached to Nintendo servers, and using all the time incogito and the other stuff related. On the other side, I recently decided to enter to stock mode with this same console, using my legal profile for downloading demos from the eshop or updates. At this moment I still remain without getting banned, having atmosphere and stock (legal) modes, surfing with my profile on the eshop without problems.
@@diegocobo8 For the six months since my comment, I have also regularly used CFW on sysNAND, connecting online to Nintendo servers without any further safety precautions. Either I am being lucky, or Nintendo really does not care as long as you do not cheat online or install nps's to your console.
@@diegocobo8 No. sysNAND with loaded CFW, just as I wrote it. With that, I also connect to eshop and all the game servers and stuff. And I have not installed any NSPs to that sysNAND, which seems to be a deciding favtoe
@@awakenedcrowl other than skins, what's the worst thing you have done while in CFW? because i want to use checkpoint (software for backing up save files) but im not too confident to do that, I will still plan on using skin mods for smash ultimate though.
Yo quick question since i'm planning on buying a modded switch. If i have custom fw but wanna play online with a leggaly bought game can i just use a boot to revese it to a certain firmware and then play online or am i safe either way since the game is booted up through the cartridge
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I did every step including the two downloads and when going back into launch I don’t see the emu to load into. Did I miss a Step, did something go wrong?
You shouldn't get banned, but anything can happen I guess. Also there is no way but you can use AutoRCM to boot the Switch into recovery mode every time, you then have to push the payload over USB; that can be done with an Android phone. Also be sure to backup before doing AutoRCM as it basically bricks your system on purpose so that it can't boot by itself and boots into RCM from where you can then boot with a custom bootloader (Hekate)
Hi this is stupid question but im curious, if Nintendo switch patched banned would that been means that console will be unpatched also? 😅 I'm sorry I don't mind being banned as long i can still play offline and use cfw to modded it
Can you get banned for going into your legit bought games and playing them? and can you get banned for using themes and/or the android 10 thing thinking about modding my switch but Im afraid my little sister will get my account banned
no you wont. but if you are connected to the internet with pirated games on your switch you get banned. if you guys are just using mods in game its fine!
@CED of dabbing If you use anything on a modded switch & then connect to Nintendos Online servers you can get banned, piracy is almost definate, but save editing, game mods, skins etc, logs will still get sent to Nintendo. Android is a completely seperate OS, on a different partition. It carries no ban risk at all. The same way nintendo would have no idea if you browsed the internet on an android phone.
so... I just did method 1, but also have the option to go into CFW Sysnand, ¿what happens if I play online in that mode, and have no pirated games on the CFW Sysnand but use the CFW to stream into my pc with a homebrew software?¿DO I get banned or not? Also... ¿If I keep pirated games on the Emunand, but ONLY on the Emunand, I can still go online in Stock Sysnand and CFW Sysnand?
@Blaze retro games Nintendo charges a subscription for? Yeah not happening, definitely gonna pirate and actually OWN the games instead of pay a subscription every year
unsure about 90DNS but incognito said the method is outdated and can put you in a risk of a ban. I looked into it before making the video. on the release page of the website it says " WARNING this homebrew uses an old method of storing PRODINFO backups on the SD card where they can be accessed by malicious homebrew or deleted (especially if you use an exfat formatted card that is prone to corrupt, although even fat32 microSDs can have corruption). Please make sure that you have a NAND backup. Tinfoil from tinfoil.io has a new method of storing the prodinfo backup on the NAND instead of SD to avoid the above mentioned issues. Updated to provide legacy support in case anyone needs to restore their old backups made with Incognito RCM onto a clean NAND. **not providing further updates since people are still using this unsafe method to apply incognito and then aren't saving their backups, effectively self-banning permanently. "
@@NeedelsMods all done on method 1, should I copy the content of my memory card now to my PC as a backup? or is there a specific folder only I need to back up?
If I already have a hacked switch with a NAND Backup and games installed, can I do only the Emmunand part and will it wipe my sd card/save data/games installed?
Im a bit confused... after I did the first method I have no connection to internet at all, can I now connect to my wifi? So I can use the app store or wtv
Hi! If I all want to do is backup save files using JKSV, its safe to use on ofw? I dont care about pirate games or any other homebrew app. Just JKSV. Will this app be okay to use in OFW?
if I download a game onto my switch that I don't own using emummc, how do i go about making sure that game won't get me banned when I switch from emummc to stock switch
If i want to set up a remote desktop app, or a way to stream games from my PC to the switch (which requires internet) would option 1 with a DNS mitm file work fine?
Because the rcm jig used to get into the recovery mode slides Into the same slot as the right side joycon, if you watched multiple videos on modding I'm not sure how you missed such crucial information 😅
I have two questions! So I saved a copy of the backup file to my PC- if I get banned how do I restore to the backup and play online again? If I want to play on my switch normally can I take the SD card out and boot into RCM to not worry about being banned?
For those who are using method one and want to take not getting banned a step further Id read the description. Id also recommend setting up safety boot to emummc in hekate so you dont accidentally launch your sysnand through cfw!

If you use anything on a modded switch & then connect to Nintendos Online servers you can get banned, piracy is almost definate, but save editing, game mods, skins etc, logs will still get sent to Nintendo.
Android is a completely seperate OS, on a different partition. It carries no ban risk at all. The same way nintendo would have no idea if you browsed the internet on an android phone.
If you use 90dns to block Nintendo service connection for Emmunand, does it still keep the emmunand safe or should I just stick to keeping it offline
so... I just did method 1, but also have the option to go into CFW Sysnand, ¿what happens if I play online in that mode, and have no pirated games on the CFW Sysnand but use the CFW to stream into my pc with a homebrew software?¿DO I get banned or not? Also... ¿If I keep pirated games on the Emunand, but ONLY on the Emunand, I can still go online in Stock Sysnand and CFW Sysnand?
@Blaze retro games Nintendo charges a subscription for? Yeah not happening, definitely gonna pirate and actually OWN the games instead of pay a subscription every year
Just a quick question, what about Incognito, 90DNS and those sorts of methods to avoid being banned?
unsure about 90DNS but incognito said the method is outdated and can put you in a risk of a ban. I looked into it before making the video. on the release page of the website it says " WARNING this homebrew uses an old method of storing PRODINFO backups on the SD card where they can be accessed by malicious homebrew or deleted (especially if you use an exfat formatted card that is prone to corrupt, although even fat32 microSDs can have corruption).
Please make sure that you have a NAND backup. Tinfoil from tinfoil.io has a new method of storing the prodinfo backup on the NAND instead of SD to avoid the above mentioned issues.
Updated to provide legacy support in case anyone needs to restore their old backups made with Incognito RCM onto a clean NAND.
**not providing further updates since people are still using this unsafe method to apply incognito and then aren't saving their backups, effectively self-banning permanently. "
the video covers how to back up the nand which is the most important thing to accomplish in order to avoid a ban
@@NeedelsMods Ok ok, I see, thx for the info man, I rly didn't knew about those risks, and ur video was great, thx
@@NeedelsMods nand backups cant revert system bans, they only help when your switch is bricked
@@NeedelsMods all done on method 1, should I copy the content of my memory card now to my PC as a backup? or is there a specific folder only I need to back up?
I mostly play Botw on my switch and i want to mod it and it requiers atmosphere and some others. just to ask is relics of the past a wifi safe mod?
Does anyone know if using SkyNX can get you banned?
If I already have a hacked switch with a NAND Backup and games installed, can I do only the Emmunand part and will it wipe my sd card/save data/games installed?
Im a bit confused... after I did the first method I have no connection to internet at all, can I now connect to my wifi? So I can use the app store or wtv
Hi! If I all want to do is backup save files using JKSV, its safe to use on ofw? I dont care about pirate games or any other homebrew app. Just JKSV. Will this app be okay to use in OFW?
No, everything mod apps you use will get you banned
if I download a game onto my switch that I don't own using emummc, how do i go about making sure that game won't get me banned when I switch from emummc to stock switch
i'm using method 1 but when i go to create an emummc, 29 does not appear. any fix?
Can you make a video how to download games on modded switch?
If i want to set up a remote desktop app, or a way to stream games from my PC to the switch (which requires internet) would option 1 with a DNS mitm file work fine?
Define “going online” please. Do you mean connecting to the internet AT ALL or do you mean connecting to Nintendo?
have u found out
Hey I wish I saw this sooner. My switch is ban due to having tinfoil. If I delete it will it fix it or will I have no choice but to buy a new switch?
Its perm banned
What about custom save mods online?
Really dumb question but every modding video I’ve watched, the right joy con is disconnected. Why?
Because the rcm jig used to get into the recovery mode slides Into the same slot as the right side joycon, if you watched multiple videos on modding I'm not sure how you missed such crucial information 😅
@@mistarj2580 i just never understood it when i first posted but ive got it figured out. thanks
Can i use emunand also tinfoil or better no?
can I delete all the backup stuff from the SD card if I copy all the backup files to my PC? I kind of want that 29 gigs back afterwards
Planning to hack my switch so hopefully this works
Did it work?
Same
@@ksjpapermario97 I'm waiting a few more years like I already did for the wii
This dude hasn’t said if it worked for a year
@@Buddur1he did suicide
Whenever i click launch i get "no main boot entries found..."
I have two questions! So I saved a copy of the backup file to my PC- if I get banned how do I restore to the backup and play online again?
If I want to play on my switch normally can I take the SD card out and boot into RCM to not worry about being banned?
