Wow, I used to watch some of your modding stuff a while ago on the wii u, you seem to have improved your speech a bit, congrats man. Keep up your content!
thank you so much for this video! i’ve read so many posts about bans and everything is so contradictory, this cleared up the main thing for me: it’s all random 😂 i just want to play ac:nh online with a modified save filled with resources for giveaways lmao
Yep that's the interesting thing about switch bans, it's all random and unknown. You will most likely be fine playing with only a hacked save, as long as you don't do anything too crazy.
wondering if youre banned, and wondering what steps you took to play online with a modded save file. im interested in playing a backup online on emunand with obviously access to nintendo servers so im wondering whats the BEST way to do that without getting banned.
did you ever go through with this? I personally only use save edits with Pokemon doing "legal edits" so there's really no risk of a ban, but was wondering the difference in active online game edits that have no way to verify checksums, so how'd it work out for you, how crazy did you go with these edits and did you get banned are my two questions!
@@DarkFlareso in the end all you have to do is put the incognito file in the switch folder on your SD card and with that one file it will create a new page on your Nintendo when you hit gallery? I just want some clarification!
Don't have a switch, your video popped randomly and your voice is calming af so I guess I'll like it and probably watch some other vids from your channel.
As soon as the Switch came out I was dreaming of all the portable emulators but I wasn't expecting it to be possible to get banned. I'm not taking the risk, cause I need online games. I should really get a PS Vita, I hear that's great for emulation. Nintendo is really annoying some times, release your old games on the Switch if you don't want people emulating. /end rant
I think if you launch linux and run emulators there there's no way you might get banned as long as you unplug your SD card while you are not using linux.
The rule of thumb is to mod Nintendo consoles, when they drop support for them. I also would like to use Retroarch on something portable other than my phone as well.
What I'm doing is: - sysnand completely clean. Only purchased games, online access. - emunand completely offline. Never ever connected to the internet. Airplane mode permanently enabled and LAN connection disabled - Extra precautions: unplugging lan cable before switching into emunand and covering the USB port with a random USB, deleting the option "sys CFW" in Hekate (you boot either into offline emunand or clean sysnand), having written down the steps to switch into emunand in a paper just in case.
I would turn off auto reconnect for both wifi and lan too on emunand and sysnand. If you connect it by accident in emunand, it wont go online anyways. And if you ever launch sysnand with cfw by accident, you will still be safe until you decide to go online. I just keep my lan adapter attached always, BUT I also have 90dns so even if i do go online by accident in emunand, it still gets blocked. I plan to also get incognito though and I would recommend it as some routers ignore 90dns apparently. (though i think its rare) Edit: Oh yeah, having two different themes for sysnand and emunand is also a good idea.
Hi, can u advice for me? Means that we boot into Stock - Sysnand, just connect to wifi and update OFW through Nintendo servers? I just want to play my purchased MH rise copy online by then. Thanks!
@@runterranger7398 yesterday I accidentally get online for 10 seconds with my emunand sxos. Because my LAN adapter was plugged in. Luckily stealth mode was enabled. I think it worked because I didn't get any news in the news channel. I was getting a heart attack and my IBS stumach was completely off. I hope the stealth mode worked properly. But it let's me think if this all is worth the hassle...? All your measurements I also do. Like the 2 themes. Too bad yesterday the Lan was on autoconnect. Now it feels like having sex without any anticonception.
My question is: if my switch is not able to connect to nintendo server by changing the DNS, would it still be possible to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online to say? Another question: If for some reason I decide to keep my switch on Airplane mode, how can I update games that I downloaded for free from third party websites?
@@nerdyhd1808 how do I know if my switch is patched and admire switches patched so should I get a second unpatched switch cuz I'm really good at modding 3DS and Wii U weu weu weu eueueu eueueu
I've been using atmosphere for about half a year now, and in that time I've only used smash skin mods and I haven't gotten banned yet, but recently I put a custom theme and I'm unsure if that has increased my risk of getting banned.
So, this might sound dumb, but would using 90DNS only be required when using CFW? If you were to boot into the normal firmware could you use the online features normally without Nintendo knowing the switch was booted into cfw previously?
I have no idea why I got banned, I got my sons a switch for Xmas (from a Nintendo store), mario kart being included... I set up Parental control etc so they cant accidently buy anything (they are 6 and 4), I also bought a Fifa 22 game last year to play with the older one. I wanted to update the teams on Fifa 22, when I went to download update, it said "my online services is restricted" I found this weird as I never even set up an online account, just a profile for parental controls. I researched into the code I was getting and it said "Permanently banned", I was surprised as I never bought anything online or did anything to cause a ban. I have emailed support so waiting on them now but this is so frustrating and annoying.
@@DarkFlare nope never, issue I had was when I did purchase from Nintendo store I received no order number or email or anything to say I ordered, only payment from my bank account which was proof and that's when they dispatched my switch. I believe it was because of this, I have showed bank statement to support but was told they can't verify it was the console as could be anything. So now I'm stuck again
i know this seems late but i have a question, I was thinking about downloading sys clk just to over clock my switch when using it in handheld mode, my question is if there's a safe and easy way to set it up for a beginner like me?
Yes, I have a video on that. This covers everything you need to know after having Atmosphere installed: th-cam.com/video/kchVt_wdl6s/w-d-xo.html To install atmosphere for the first time, check the link in that video's description
My switch is unpatched and I want to get started, but I have an update ready for installation, should I install it? I am currently version 12.0.1. Thanks. Gave your video a thumbs up!
vortex gaming wipe the nand clean then use a hardware way to dump the NAND and PRODINFO from a working unbanned console and restore that NAND in Hekate
Thank you for the video it was super helpful. I bought my switch modded, it uses sxox and it already has incognito on it, so now I can find games online and transfer with USB to pc? Also how hard is it to add 3ds emulator, I heard they have gotten more stable enough to play games but I was having trouble finding the emulator.
The 90DNS didnt work for me. I put it in and it connected to the internet. I checked multiple times and it says connection successful what am I doing wrong?
@@Pandonymous the ban depends if console your accounta are fine but you just cant play online on the switch anymore and if you are account banned you can not play with the account anymore but only with others

I think i already have a default host file that doesnt allow me to connect to nintendo servers but i disconnected my internet too just in case. Does this option allow me to update legitimately own games or connect online at all?
Question. Just got a new switch to gelee and so I have no doubt this video will help staying safe on that. An issue I have is I have another that i've been gelee'ing for a while now, but have used NSPs etc on it and wonder if there's a way to completely wipe it back to baseline and go again legit so that there's nothing majorly bad flagging anywhere? I'm sure there is, but i lack the right keywords to get me to the right info, perhaps you can point me in the right direction?
Hi, if I use sysnand for legit play without any modification and keeping it clean but i'm using emunand with incognito from tinfoil/airplane mode except for bluetooth/nfc / wifi connection deleted and I use this emunand for all the non legit stuff (pirated games/homebrew ect) can I get banned ? I mean I litteraly don't let nintendo a chance to connect to my emunand but I was wondering if it is still possible to get banned somehow
What if I were to mod what I need on my game and then restore the switch to its default (not resetting to Factory default, just uninstalling homebrew, etc) settings? I just want to Mod Borderlands, fix my save (I have a broken quest) add some other items into it and be done. What if I were to do all of this with the switch offline then restore it to its regular status?
You should do an emunand and get all of the homebrew on it, protection too, and use your internal memory (sysmmc) for stock firmware (online, Nintendo switch online, etc…) just follow what he said
So I have 2 switches, one i bought on release and a new one. I transferred all my info over to my new switch and want to mod my old one. I've factory reset the old one to remove traces (hopefully) but I dont care about playing online, I just want to play through my existing games while modded and install cool things like running android. I dont really care if I get banned so long as it isn't contagious and affects my main profile. ( i wont be modding or connecting my switch to my newer console.) I just like modding and specifically want to fuck around in BOTW Do i have anything to worry about besides the ever looming possibility of a bricked console?
Nintendo bans hardware not software, If you transfer your account they will be fine, also you can mask your sysID with cfw so the decoy adress will get banned, not yours.
I read on reddit, that you can store homebrew on a separate sd card, and just dont play switch games online until you swap back to your old sd card without homebrew. I dont know if this is true or not though.
you will still need emummc to do that. But even then, its better to just use one sd card so you dont have to keep taking it out and possibly damage the sd card reader. (seen it happen to other people) To entirely remove the risk of bans, you should start by removing all wifi settings. If you have a lan adapter, go to wired connection and turn autoconnect off. After that, setup 90dns for it in case you do turn it on by accident. Finally, turn on airplane mode and put whatever games you want to use with cfw in your system memory. (dont forget its dlc and update content) For example, my copy of smash ultimate is physical, but I still need to put my dlc and update content in system memory. After all that, set up cfw, and backup your nand. Keep it somewhere safe, set up emummc, and then go ahead and launch. Check the settings to ensure you are on emummc and then check if the connections are all gone still. Once you know its gone, go ahead and turn off airplane mode. Now you can go back to sysnand and add all your connections again. Leave autoconnect off in case you launch cfw in sysnand by accident. I would also recommend using a different theme (custom themes are fine too, but not on sysnand) so you instantly know if you are on sysnand or emummc. This is my setup so I can use the training modpack without any worries.
@@runterranger7398 what's emummc? I dont really understand all this, but I would like to know more. This sounds really interesting but I'm afraid I might screw something up.
With these settings set like this, can you play games online normally without too much risk? Or would you want to reboot to normal firmware before playing any games online?
If you do this, it will prevent you from playing online due to 90DNS. If you want to play online youll have to remove 90DNS. The reason this is set in place is to avoid uploading banworthy info to Nintendo when hacking. It can be removed when not hacking
As a new switch v1 user I’m quite confused hope you can clarify some things for me.. so if I want to play an online game from the Nintendo eshop like rocket league can I do that through the cfw when applying the steps that you give? Or do I need to boot into the ofw to play that game? I still haven’t hacked my switch so I don’t even know if it will show up when I’m booting to cfw… are the steps that you gave for having the switch connected to the internet so we can play games through LAN? Because I don’t see any reason to be connected to the internet if I can’t play original games online through cfw or play pirated games through LAN..
i dont see the point of playing online nintendo beside smash and even there but no you cant if you want to play online you must boot in stock and undo the dns setup if you did that
Not really, it's just because I haven't triggered any obvious flags for them, such as playing pirated games online. They aren't interested in observing from a distance.
if I got a emunand and reboot in hekate to sysnand with my sdcard inserted with the emunand and other files... will nintendo read random files in the sdcard and maybe banned? should I remove the sdcard and changing to a clean sdcard when using the OFW?
I successfully manage to have dual boot ofw sysnand for online game with bought game cart and cfw emunand for offline nsp games.. But I am confused should I remove my official ofw user profile during cfw emunand? Because I have no idea if its safe to play on cfw offline with my main user profile.
Ello, new Atmosphere user here. Ik Incongito is built in the thing. But how exactly do I accessed it? I've read the Github page and I'm still sorta confused.
Can someone clarify what bans mean? Does getting banned just prevent you from playing online? Do bans do anything other than that? If you get banned from online, can you still update games as updates come out?
No he should banned by now, if not then years later he will. Incongnito hasn't been updated since and it has been proven to be unsafe as incognito still can contact Nintendo servers. To stay safe please have a nand back up before installing any hacks and get Atmospheres Exosphere and DNS.mitm to better protect yourself while offline in emunand
I have a haked switch and I link to a Nintendo account and enter the eshop and i add some friends and play online in fall guys but nintendo doesn't ban me
Does incognito nro work on 11.0.0 SX OS emunand? Also does incognito nro if runned in emunand then only affects it not stand? Many thanks for your informative video! :)
I got a taste of custom firmware on Switch and I decided it's not for me lol. Is it safe to just delete everything CFW-related on my SD? Are there any steps I need to follow to make sure CFW is off my Switch completely?
To be quite honest, I am only debating on jailbreaking my V1 Switch just to have custom themes. If I can still play online on AC:NH with my girlfriend I am going to do it
dw you can always play certain games using XLink like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft (it works in LAN but I'm unsure if it'll work with a banned Switch), ARMS, and Splatoon 2
I'd like to buy an SX Core someday and use it on my Mariko Switch. I only intend on using it for overclocking, to get better fps in Witcher 3 and Fortnite. Will overclocking get me banned?
As far as I know, you shouldnt get banned even while using it online, but you are taking a risk. In offline, theres no risk though. (assuming its only skin mods)
visual only mods are fine, make sure params/bones arent changed or anything like that and make sure the version tag isnt changed as that info will be checked and sent to nintendo after every few matches, online and offline
i have done all of these steps but when i want to link nintendo accounts it kept saying error has occured and it wants me to restart the switch all over the time. what should i do about this
Remove the DNS. This DNS blocks all communication with Nintendo's servers, so you won't be able to do that. Once you're linked, you can put it back again.
According to one of my other friends who's a well known ACNH hacker, no. You aren't going to be 100% safe though, but it's not likely you'll be banned for that.
@@Idk-hp3qy If you didn't hack your system, then there's no risk. Nintendo won't ban someone who recieved hacked items, but they could ban the hacker (still not likely)

how do i download homebrew apps if I havent turned off my air plane mode ever since? i mean would that increase the risk of getting banned?
Good Question.
Can i download games from pc through usb c cable not sd cards ?
And if i did these toturial will i be able to play online games that i downloaded ?
If you own nintendo online but never go into online on games, can you still be banned?
The games you play don't impact your ban status, it's the things you do on your console. Generally, piracy is what will get you banned.
Were does the back up save for the Incognito?
it shows the path
I have OF 12.0 and Atmosphere 0.19.3 , does incognito support that version?
Will editing a Splatoon 2 save offline for ability chunks only risk a ban if I connect online when I reboot the Switch?
I read on reddit, that you can store homebrew on a separate sd card, and just dont play switch games online until you swap back to your old sd card without homebrew. I dont know if this is true or not though.
that actually sounds smart as hell
@@sedasauce5030 I dont know if it's true or not, unfortunately. I'm gonna look into it though. All I know is I cannot risk getting banned.
you will still need emummc to do that. But even then, its better to just use one sd card so you dont have to keep taking it out and possibly damage the sd card reader. (seen it happen to other people)
To entirely remove the risk of bans, you should start by removing all wifi settings. If you have a lan adapter, go to wired connection and turn autoconnect off. After that, setup 90dns for it in case you do turn it on by accident.
Finally, turn on airplane mode and put whatever games you want to use with cfw in your system memory. (dont forget its dlc and update content) For example, my copy of smash ultimate is physical, but I still need to put my dlc and update content in system memory.
After all that, set up cfw, and backup your nand. Keep it somewhere safe, set up emummc, and then go ahead and launch. Check the settings to ensure you are on emummc and then check if the connections are all gone still. Once you know its gone, go ahead and turn off airplane mode.
Now you can go back to sysnand and add all your connections again. Leave autoconnect off in case you launch cfw in sysnand by accident.
I would also recommend using a different theme (custom themes are fine too, but not on sysnand) so you instantly know if you are on sysnand or emummc.
This is my setup so I can use the training modpack without any worries.
@@runterranger7398 what's emummc? I dont really understand all this, but I would like to know more. This sounds really interesting but I'm afraid I might screw something up.
@@runterranger7398 You're still not banned?
With these settings set like this, can you play games online normally without too much risk? Or would you want to reboot to normal firmware before playing any games online?
If you do this, it will prevent you from playing online due to 90DNS. If you want to play online youll have to remove 90DNS. The reason this is set in place is to avoid uploading banworthy info to Nintendo when hacking. It can be removed when not hacking
@@DarkFlare so if i got this right, if you want to play online while still on cfw you dont enter the dns but you install incognito?
As a new switch v1 user I’m quite confused hope you can clarify some things for me.. so if I want to play an online game from the Nintendo eshop like rocket league can I do that through the cfw when applying the steps that you give? Or do I need to boot into the ofw to play that game? I still haven’t hacked my switch so I don’t even know if it will show up when I’m booting to cfw… are the steps that you gave for having the switch connected to the internet so we can play games through LAN? Because I don’t see any reason to be connected to the internet if I can’t play original games online through cfw or play pirated games through LAN..
i dont see the point of playing online nintendo beside smash and even there but no you cant if you want to play online you must boot in stock and undo the dns setup if you did that
if i hacked one switch and got banned, would my other non hacked switch get banned?
Just realized why they don't ban you. Because if Nintendo can keep a eye on you they can get. Better idea of what to look for to enact bans.
Not really, it's just because I haven't triggered any obvious flags for them, such as playing pirated games online. They aren't interested in observing from a distance.
could block the ip address from the firewall as well. Does this work on 2020 switch
This video was super helpful.
what is the things that cant do ? i only knw even with this anti ban we cant play online... what else?
If you turn off the Wi-Fi on your switch, can Nintendo still detect you?
Yes they can. Nintendo is magic.
if I got a emunand and reboot in hekate to sysnand with my sdcard inserted with the emunand and other files... will nintendo read random files in the sdcard and maybe banned? should I remove the sdcard and changing to a clean sdcard when using the OFW?
so if i play a legit game online but i have homebrew atmosphere etc im not getting ban right at least if i dont used just have it?
I successfully manage to have dual boot ofw sysnand for online game with bought game cart and cfw emunand for offline nsp games.. But I am confused should I remove my official ofw user profile during cfw emunand? Because I have no idea if its safe to play on cfw offline with my main user profile.
What's the best option now and is there any safe way to play online with backup up games?
I've seen that SX OS has stealth mode. Would that act like 90DNS? If so then I'll leave that on and use incognito mode to change the serial number
Pretty much yes. If you use stealth mode, you probably wont even need to use Incongito
@@DarkFlare sweet thanks for the reply
Ello, new Atmosphere user here. Ik Incongito is built in the thing. But how exactly do I accessed it? I've read the Github page and I'm still sorta confused.
Do I need 90 DNS if the latest atmosphere has incognito
So if I use incognito I can go on nintendos servers and lower my chances of being banned? I just want to counter all the cheaters on Splatoon.
No, you cant play switch games online with incognito.
Does the Incognito and dns thingy helps prevent doxxing too?
i unfortunately got account banned and I still don't know why
Wait, this incognito just CHANGES the serial number. I can still connect to Nintendo's servers right?
Nope. It reads your serial for online.
Does anyone have the tutorial for not getting band for four years
I just want the different ui and custom themes for my switch. Will I still get banned for having custom themes and the different ui?
Can someone clarify what bans mean? Does getting banned just prevent you from playing online? Do bans do anything other than that? If you get banned from online, can you still update games as updates come out?
Ban means you will no longer be able to play online with players, you can't update your switch, you can't update games or go into eshop
@@unknownmoh7078 I see, thank you
@@unknownmoh7078 You can in fact update your banned Switch´s firmware nowadays. Your information is outdated
@@MrCANER06 I think Lan play and the freeshop make it so you can use you can use a form of an E shop, although it's basically piracy, and use online.
@@AwesomeMooseSmile which freeshop
Just curious, are you still unbanned to this day? I just now came across this video 2 yrs later
No he should banned by now, if not then years later he will. Incongnito hasn't been updated since and it has been proven to be unsafe as incognito still can contact Nintendo servers. To stay safe please have a nand back up before installing any hacks and get Atmospheres Exosphere and DNS.mitm to better protect yourself while offline in emunand
Can I continue my botw gameplay(played on original before) after downloading it on my sd card?
I have a haked switch and I link to a Nintendo account and enter the eshop and i add some friends and play online in fall guys
but nintendo doesn't ban me
i wanted to know how to not get banned for modding nintendo switch;-; thanks??
yeah, as said in the video it's a very grey area so modding can get you banned, and there's no way to 100% guarantee it wont happen
Clearly this boofan didn’t watch the video
so there isnt a way to play online with a hacked console?
If I just keep wifi off is it possible to get banned
can you play online multiplayer games?
can you play backups without ban?
That's likely to get you banned.
Sometimes.
So I want to use Edizon but I always want to stay online cause I mostly download games online so what should I do I always have nitendo online
What about someone using SX Core for the lite?
Does incognito nro work on 11.0.0 SX OS emunand? Also does incognito nro if runned in emunand then only affects it not stand? Many thanks for your informative video! :)
I got a taste of custom firmware on Switch and I decided it's not for me lol. Is it safe to just delete everything CFW-related on my SD? Are there any steps I need to follow to make sure CFW is off my Switch completely?
once u go black you never go back
How did you get rid of your lisp? You sound awesome!
I wish you had shown you going online. So if I make a new account and pay for online they cant connect my console to my personal info?
plz help me, if I log in youtube app in emunand with my acount same login in nintendo account i will be banned?
So what’s safer to use ? EmuMMC or sysMMC
emuMMC
I haven’t been banned yet, I don’t install NSPs. I use atmosphere for checkpoint and mods. That’s pretty much it
Has it happened yet?
did you get banned
@@bombytetoo no
@@EthanPHX update? sorry
@@eijek7 still haven't been banned and I even installed some NSP files on my sysnand a while back. So far everything is running code 4
Where can I get osox without having to have a license? And where can I purchase the license if I have to have it
To be quite honest, I am only debating on jailbreaking my V1 Switch just to have custom themes. If I can still play online on AC:NH with my girlfriend I am going to do it
doubt a kid like you has a gf discord chicks dont count

@@illbill7270 lol
Did you do it?
@@yakarotsennin3115 I have. Very nice
If i turn internet off can they still see shit
So do I need the DNS and incognito? or can I just have incognito so i can play online
Can I decrease risk of getting banned while going online?
Yeah, don't play online if you have cfw
Remove it then play online
Was given the Ban Hammer: I forgot to switch to my main firmwire, but instead, i was using a cfw (i guess *that's life* ).
just delete the cfw profile that boots to your sysnand. anyways, online gaming on switch is second priority so it's not that bad.
hekate_ipl.ini contains the launch profiles
dw you can always play certain games using XLink like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft (it works in LAN but I'm unsure if it'll work with a banned Switch), ARMS, and Splatoon 2
if i install a nsp on emmunand, will i get banned for having sigpatches when i boot into syscfw?
No, just make sure that you have 90dns in emunand. Piracy is a difficult topic because they ban for it the most.
If I delete everything related to modding and pirating off switch and then turn on the wifi can I still get banned?
Unless you restore a Nand backup, yes, you can still get banned as your nand is still marked as "dirty".
I'd like to buy an SX Core someday and use it on my Mariko Switch. I only intend on using it for overclocking, to get better fps in Witcher 3 and Fortnite. Will overclocking get me banned?
Always a slight chance, but most likely not. Usually they ban for piracy mostly.
Do i need online subcription on switch to play online even using 90dns?
Can contact Nintendo remove the ban?
Can someone pls help me? I want to get skin mods for smash ultimate would I get banned for doing that online or offline?
As far as I know, you shouldnt get banned even while using it online, but you are taking a risk. In offline, theres no risk though. (assuming its only skin mods)
visual only mods are fine, make sure params/bones arent changed or anything like that and make sure the version tag isnt changed as that info will be checked and sent to nintendo after every few matches, online and offline
will you still be able to play online ?
i have done all of these steps but when i want to link nintendo accounts it kept saying error has occured and it wants me to restart the switch all over the time. what should i do about this
Remove the DNS. This DNS blocks all communication with Nintendo's servers, so you won't be able to do that. Once you're linked, you can put it back again.
@@DarkFlarethanks so much
i have deleted the dns but noe my problem is because of incognito that i have installed i can't link my account. do you know how to deactivate it?
You can restore the same file that was backed up using incognito. Once you restore it, your switch will have the normal data again
Do i trigger flags for super smash bros skin mods
Can u get banned for having alot of bells in new leaf? Like having 900000 x 10?
According to one of my other friends who's a well known ACNH hacker, no. You aren't going to be 100% safe though, but it's not likely you'll be banned for that.
DarkFlare THANK YOU 🙏 I GOT SCARED sombody was giving out free bells like 95000 x 1000 so i took 10
@@Idk-hp3qy If you didn't hack your system, then there's no risk. Nintendo won't ban someone who recieved hacked items, but they could ban the hacker (still not likely)
