I own a modded switch and I asked my friend to help me set it up (since I loved mods and always wanted to mod my smash) but a few months after, when my brother bought nintendo switch online to play smash online, we cant even launch online nor open the e shop. But whenever we reset the switch and put it back to its unmodded state, it works perfectly fine, being able to play online and such. Why is that and can anybody help me?

You cant play online with a modded switch (unless using emunand and running stock firmware at that point), running atmosphere with pirates games, are not able to go online at this point.

CFW blocks online access I believe. This is to try to stop a console ban. Accessing Nintendo servers while using a modded console is against Nintendo's "End User License Agreement" and will eventually result in a console ban. If you have run any pirated or homebrew apps and go online will result in a console ban even quicker. When a console is banned, you will not even be able to go online in a stock state as the console's ID has been banned.

Atmosphere doesn't block access to eshop and online servers by default. If they are not working, user must did something to block them - incognito, 90DNS, custom hosts, cal0 blank, etc.

    @SylverReZ, im still afraid of coming out irl tho
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa,
    Well, I had read that thread already, it does not mention moving saves from Emulator to OFW. Also I am not planning to edit/modify a save file. Just play a save file on an emulator, and then move it to OFW and play it on my switch.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I wouldn't risk it, but do what you want. A console ban is loss of all online play, of any games.
