I heard that you will lost save data if you change headers. Is that true? I ordered a Sky3DS. My firmware is 9.8 (N3DSXL) if this info matters.
Hacking How to change private header without losing save Sky3DS

Save data is encrypted by the unique ID in the header of the rom/cartridge
So yes, you will lose your savegame
The only way to keep it:
CFW and SaveDataFiler, or NTR CFW + SaveData plugin
(these both require a 9.2.0 or lower 3ds/n3ds)
Darn.... How about backing up the save in diskwriter? I remember seeing an option to do so. There is "Back up save data" and "Restore save data".
That will only back up the encrypted save, not the un-encrypted part that needs to be injected into the new save
Darn. I guess I cannot switch headers later on so I have to choose a game I won't go online often. Since I couldn't extract the header from my offline game (Super Monkey Ball 3D), my second choice would be Pokemon Y. Is it safe to go online with Pokemon Y as long as it is not online at the same time as my Sky3DS?
Yes, It is safe to play online with A shared header as long as only one console is using at at a time.
I used your powersave method. Both methods have been used multiple times. The game is not supported by action replay if this info is necessary, but I'm pretty sure thats just for codes. The game is bought at 3DS's launch day.
The 48 FF bytes don't seem to be there, even when scrolling down.

If the game isn't supported by powersaves (has no codes) then it doesn't fetch the uniqueID because it's unnecessary because the save Isn't being modified, only copied.
If you really need the header, you can mail me the game and I'll dump it for you. (and mail it back of course)

No wonder. Is there anyway to extract it though? If every game has a header, and is possible to be extracted by powersaves, there must be a way.
Ripping the games with the gateway launcher (requires a <9.2 console) It will dump the full rom including the header.
Dang, I got no choice but to rip out one of my other roms. It would be rather Animal Crossing or Pokemon Y.
I heard that games have different manufacturers. 90% of the games have C2. If I remember correctly, Animal Crossing is AE, and Pokemon Y is C2.
Would I be better off using Pokemon Y?
Also, one more question regarding patching template with NoBanNoSky:
After extracting the header, you paste it first 16 bytes in a blank template file from your guide.
When using NoBanNoSky, do you just select the Sky3DS template, and the Private Header template, and then patch without selecting a ROM?
How about when a new Sky3DS template comes out?

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
