On my CFW switch i've got a pokemon scarlet (legit copy) but the dlc i've got through not so legal ways.

If i transfer this file to my OFW switch, would I get banned?

Would buying the dlc on my OFW switch resolve this?

And what things should i look out for when transfering saves from OFW to CFW and vice versa.

Im going to buy a new second hand switch, but i'd first like to get as much information as possible.

How do you plan on moving save files? Is your CFW switch online and downloading / uploading cloud saves ?

Some info on the CFW:

- My CFW swtich is the v1 switch and i'm making use of the RCM jig to boot into the CFW.

- I've played several games on this switch, legit(by purchasing the game chip) and non-legit.
- For example I do have a legit (copy) cartridge of pokemon shield but not the DLC.
- I have used it offline and have not been online with it, it is unbanned currently. I've booted it up once online and had no issues.

- My saves are NOT stored on any cloud. only locally and the sd card
- It is not updated to the latest switch and atmosphere version
- I plan do plan on updating to the latest atmosphere version and updating the switch to the latest version to perform the data transfer, as OFW won't let me data transfer otherwise.

Some info on the OFW:

It is a switch lite, that does go online and I just play pokemon games on there to kill time.
It's updated to the latest switch version.

What I plan on doing:

- Since the data transfer can be done offline, I am planning on purchasing the DLC on the CFW before the data transfer, boot up the save file and save in a legit area (in pokemon scarlet).

- Data transfer cannot happen as the CFW switch and the OFW switch have a difference in system versions, I need to update the CFW switch to the latest system and atmosphere version.

- Another option I can do is, purchase another switch and try these methods. It will cost a bit, but hey before I think about spending money I might as well gather as much information as I can, once I do have enough information I'll purchase a switch and try it out.

This might get you banned as dlc's are just games/applications and the Switch sees you will have illegal content on your OFW switch.
Hmmm....read the above and tell me what you think

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
