Should I use a cia or a rom dump? I use gateway wife uses cfw. Do i still just use a header from any retail cart?
CIA doesn't need anything special just the game update and the latest Emunand , Gateway you just need to patch the header with gateway rom patcher v1.2.

Here is the latest Gateway rom patcher if you need it http://scene.releases.free.fr/tools/download.php?dl=GRP_v1.2
Gateway yes, CIA no. You can rip the header from a 3DS rom dump you made in the gateway menu. Using gateway rom patcher just select export header and save it somewhere. You can use that header file to patch all your roms.So I do use a private header, or it doesnt matter anymore?

Correct CIA's use your console ID as the header so its safe. If your worried about getting banned dont cheat online, play online using out of region roms, or pirate DLC online (offline games are fine since Nintendo cant possibly check for a purchase).So if i use only cfw on both 3ds i dont need to worry about headers anymore?
