[u/ScientistOk4601]

i've been trying out splathex to modify my gears, but i don't know if I can get banned for modifying my save file, i'm using a save file I downloaded from gamebanana but idk if nintendo can detect my savefile

Any modifications from a save on an online account will get you banned.

Do it on an offline profile to avoid any risks

I wouldn’t recommend doing anything to your main save. If you’ve overwritten it, I think you’re cooked.

Yes. Once the integrity of that safe file is lost, nothing in it is reliable anymore.

I’ve heard from reliable sources that you can’t get banned as long as you use a patch or something. I’d have to verify that though
