What are the pros and cons of modifying a Nintendo Switch? (lemmy.world)

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.

Be aware, however, Nintendo is aggressive with banning, so mod at your own risk.

Just block Nintendo servers when running modded to make sure you don't get banned. This guide can help you: https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/blocking_nintendo/

Agreed, it's just best not to assume everyone knows how to do that or that they ought to

If you know how to hack your switch, you should also know how to not get banned

I disagree. It's best not to assume that, especially when it's someone who is actively asking for advice.

You're right, I edited my original comment to include advice on how to do this
