Can you trade in a banned switch for an unbanned one?

[Ondrashek06]

Welp, I've fucked up and my switch is 99.9% flagged for a ban very soon.

How much does it cost extra to trade in this unit for an unbanned (and unpatched) one?

Nobody is ever going to buy banned Switches. And before you say, no, you cannot unban a banned Switch.

Probably not, they will check for online service

They only check if you play non-legitimate games on a hacked Switch.

So am I stuck with this console forever?

 

[Deleted member 698398]

That's what we in the biz like to call "a dick move".

 

[SylverReZ]

Yes. If you're going to sell it online, you're only going to get half of what they sell for.

Is it chipped?

 

[Ondrashek06]

I was careful with the unit for a long time to never bring it online... and a stupid fucking bug with tinfoil gets me to accidentally connect to Nintendo on emuMMC. Great fucking job.

No, just an unpatched Erista.

You should've used 90DNS or telemetry blockers on Atmosphere next time, but its too little too late now.

That's what I did all the time! But again, the bug with tinfoil got me to wipe my entire atmosphere directory and reinstall a blank one... and the rest is history.

Well, it doesn't really matter whether it's banned or not if you're going to play pirated games on it. I'd keep it as it's not worth selling at the half of the price. Plus, you don't have to worry about going online with it anymore, I guess? If you want to play online, get yourself another unbanned Switch, it doesn't have to be unpatched Erista this time around.

I have a Mariko switch that I use for online play, that's why I'm not crying and yelling right now, but it does suck to lose the convenience of having online play and hacks both on one console.

Who cares about online

What do you mean a bug with tinfoil? Explain this.

You're mentioning like 4 different variables here.

You say you were using 90dns- Wiping your atmosphere folder means that your 90dns would still be applied. Secondly, a "tinfoil bug" wouldn't make you connect with N servers, thats all handled externally such as 90dns, incognito, amsDNS, or exosphere.ini. I'm not really sure where you're getting this from.

I never said I used 90dns, I used Exosphere along with DNS MITM as was recommended. Those do get wiped with your atmosphere directory.

So, have you confirmed that it GOT banned yet or what? You'd be surprised sometimes, honestly.

I'm not surprised in all honesty. Nintendo's been doing banwaves ever since modding the Switch was starting to become relevant.
