I know that you can inject private headers with the Gateway application. Will private header injected(with the gateway application) roms work on Sky3DS? Or does Sky3DS have its own patcher?
No Ban No Sky works with any firmware, right?Sky3DS will overwrite whatever changes with what it has on its template file. To use private headers with Sky3DS you have to patch the template with the No Ban No Sky tool and rewrite your games with the new template.

Neat! So I guess Fire Emblem if's USA release can't be patched, that's a shame, I was looking forward to being able to get the Spotpass DLC >_< Thanks for the help!Sky3DS works with any firmware. There are only 2 games that won't work with it (new animal crossing and fire emblem games) because of a new anti-piracy check, and this is speculated to be implemented on every new Triple-A game.
Other than that, if you patch the template with No Ban No Sky and write the game to the Sky3DS you'll be able to play it online on any firmware.
I didn't patch a rom, I patched my template file. I got the SUCCESS message. Will all the roms I write onto my microsd card(with the patched template and the diskwriter) be automatically online-patched? I saw that you said "Fire Emblem games". Are you referring to both Awakening and If? Or are you just referring to If?Sky3DS works with any firmware.

What does the Private Header look like?Just If. It should be working, but you can check if you're using the private header by using the following method:
1. Create a save game
2. Get the microsd card and backup that save game to the PC using diskwriter
3. Use an Hex editor to look at the save
4. The private header should be "near" the start of the file
So just check if the private header is in the save file. If it is, the rom is correctly patched.

It's only FE: If and AC: Happy Home Designer that won't work so far, and there's no way to make them work on firmwares above 9.2. Most likely almost all future games will implement this check as well. But at least you'll be able to play the entire library of past games, which still isn't bad.I didn't patch a rom, I patched my template file. I got the SUCCESS message.

Thanks for the advice, but I was asking for what the private header looks likeIf you're using a powersaves adapter to get your header then use this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-get-your-private-header-using-powersaves.385511/
If you're able to use Gateway Rom Patcher, use that. Mount your 3DS file > Copy paste the header from the program & use that for your template file.
Edit: Rather than Powersaves, I guess you can use SaveDataManager to backup your save & rip the header with HxD now.

I'm using No Ban No SkyThe tutorial I linked shows you what it'd look like in HxD & Gateway Rom Patcher straight tells you what the header code is after you load your rom.

I already patched my template, won't that patch my roms when I put them in from the diskwriter?Then you'd need to use Gateway Menu to dump your rom > Gateway Rom Patcher > Load rom > Extract header > Save & name that file > No Ban No Sky > Select that header file you just saved from Gateway Rom Patcher once you get to that point.
If you want to manually input your header, you should use Sky Army Knife.

I asked because I wanted to confirm that the rom I used has a private header, that way I won't go online and be treated with the ban messageIf you've patched your Template file for the game you're going to be playing, then you're good to go.
Sky3ds doesn't touche the actual roms for header information, it ignores them and refers to its Template.
If you patched your Template already, i'm not sure why you asked about where to find your header though. xD
