Just found out the Switch I got a while back is a V1 model, meaning that it's one of the Switches that's able to be modified. I'm thinking of modifying it, but I'd like to know the upsides and issues first.

Pros: modified os

Cons: if it gets banned by Nintendo, you're fucked. (It happened to me and I'm still mad I had to buy a new one)

I stopped giving Nintendo my money. They have shut down YouTube channels and Twitch channels over revenue. Unless you're a popular person, I guess.

But do their switches ever get discounted? I know people who own switches, it was cool St first. Now it just sits there.

What made them ban you console specifically?

I had NSO and I ran a custom firmware for a friend so they could get a copy of their game to run on their emulator.

You're only fucked if you want to pay them to play online. Other than that you can still play all your singleplayer and local multiplayer games.

If you have NSO, you don't need to play online to get banned. Cause I didn't play online, and I got banned because I had NSO. I'd assume that it contacted Nintendo servers, and I didn't realize it at the time.
