Nintendo begins banning pirates from 3DS online service

[moneychild]

I'm going to take one for the team to clear up some rumours.
Going to install some illegal .cia's and play online using a PRIVATE header and see if I get banned.
If I don't reply to this tread in like one week, asume that I am not banned.

You won't be banned. And .cia files don't require headers at all.

THIS! THIS IS WHAT I NEED! I have SKY3DS too. I'm guessing by squeeb's post that you CAN'T dump a private header without Gateway?

*begging*

You load the gateway launcher with the web exploit (No Gateway carts needed) on 9.0/9.2, then dump your cartridge. BOOM, you have your own rom with it's own private header.

Hamstrman's problem was that he was at 9.7.

Guess your are right

Yeahhhhhh... I see Ericzander already addressed this issue. I've missed out on a handful of exploits because of my damn up-to-date firmware! Thanks for the explanation, though.

Who really cares nowadays? Games like MK7 or Super Smash Bros are really fun to play online, but a month later, interest leaves.

You know you can install updates as .cia files too. You literally never have to go to the eshop.

I already did this. With .cia's and DLC and no ban.
Been doing it for a while now. Every time an updates comes out for pokemon, smash or etc, I head to the eshop and update stuff. I also browse videos to. So even if I stayed 1min or 1 hour, I still don't receive a ban.

(been using a private header from an offline games since gateway introduced online play)

i thought CIA dont have header.. i just read this in this forum. im using a public

 

[Ericzander]

.cia files don't need headers. .3dz files do. If you're playing online with a public header then STOP IMMEDIATELY and get a private one.

They don't. I use it for .3dz files

Listen to this guy.
If you don't, I see a ban in someone's future!

Got banned today after playing Monster Hunter 4 online from a Sky3DS-card. Stupid by me. Do they still lift the ban after 15 days or do I need to buy a new 3DS?

If I buy a new 3DS, can I transfer my account and then play online or will that ban that console to?

Still 15 day ban only.

Can I play other games with SKY3DS offline? Bought Monster Hunter 4 on cartridge (sucks to start over), but I will need to have something to do during this 15 days, 14 more to go...

So does that mean I can buy a sky card for all offline single player games and buy the cartidge for online games?

Just use custom firmware for online and offline. No risk of ban at all.

I been backtracking throughout the whole topic i didnt see anything about custom firmware. Im gonna buy the new nintendo 3ds zelda version end of this month. I was getting ready to order my sky card but i paused until i can get for sure info

I mean did they really think they could get away with going online with pirated shit?
Has the history of J-Tagged Xbox's and CFW PS3's taught us nothing?

Different generation same old mistakes That's how they learn
