you can use a header from any game you own AFAIK, not specifically the same game. so suppose you have a retail copy of star fox 64 3D, just take its header and use it on all your ROMs and just make sure none of these ROMs are ever online at the same time (i.e. don't give your ROM with your private header to a friend which runs a risk of you both using the same header simultaneously)
Yeah I think we posted at the same time haha. Yeah it's good that you gave an explanation, I just wanted him to know that it doesn't apply for him since Sky is pretty limited. But yeah he needs his own game to rip the header. Check the bargain bin for some $5 thing.
I have plenty of 3ds games, i was thinking you had to have the copy of the game you were wanting to use on your flashcard. not that you can take the private header from one game, and apply it to all games.
So does this mean that every cart ever made will have its own private header regardless of what game it is?
you can edit the 3ds file and add your own header that what makes it private its a header for a game you own.
Thats how it works the headers are unique to each game swapping them all to the same header does not sound safe at all unless Lucifer666 has some info I don't.

So in otherwords, for each rom you put on your flashcard, you should have its own private header? so 10 roms = 10 carts? I have 15+ 3ds games and 10+ ds games. not sure if ds games will work for this or not.
nah I don't have any solid proof that this is 100% safe but it's a really common practice here on the temp and no one doing this has reported being banned yet
so essentially do it at your own risk, personally I'd do it myself if I wanted to play a game on my GW online (or just use a .CIA but you've got Sky so you can't do that)
Sorry for typing so much but your using a sky3ds card right? You probably shouldn't worry about it so much use no ban no sky if you want to do what lucifer suggested or use the header provided in the disk writer tool for sky3ds there really isn't any safe or safer way with the card unless you have your own header which is the equivalent to owning the game in physical form already.
type as much as you need to! I'm the dummy making you type so much, and i appreciate the help too btw.
so ill check out the no ban no sky thing, my questions now are: how do i obtain the private header from a cart and it doesnt matter what cart i use, as long as its a physical 3ds game, right? and the header provided in the disk writer tool, wouldnt everyone be using the same one, making it public?
To get your header you need a way to dump a game you own and the sky tool will not share your header with others it has its own database of public headers which it injects into the game you're installing onto your sky card
I was talking about the disk writer for sky3ds, not the no ban no sky. any idea on how to dump a game? is it something i have to connect my game to and then into the computer?
From what I know only gateway 3ds can dump card2 retail games someone can correct me if there are other ways
One can only assume they either had dumps of there games already using the gateway browser exploit or having someone dump it for them using a gateway card I don't have any more information sorry I cant help you more
damn.. guess i should have bought a gateway instead. thanks for all the info man
If your 3ds firmware was 9.2 or lower than yeah but if you have a new3ds or are above 9.2 sky is really your only option
no ban no sky says it only works for 4.5 to 9.2, so if its above 9.2 it shouldnt work right? regardless its no big deal since im trading in my 3dsXL tomorrow for the new 3ds. but the problem still remains on how to obtain the private header. I think i might have found something that will work, but not too sure. have you heard of the gateway exploit glitch? heres the link
It not a glitch its the browser exploit that lets you run gateways launcher you can dump your cart that way but im not sure what the highest firmware you can be on for it to run.
