This. Plus, wtf? Couldn't wait 3 days more?Still, OP played on 20th. So it's normal for him to get banned.

Yes, 100% all bans after 18 are just Europeans playing online cause hey see everyone else doing so. I think we figured this too in another threadso thus far any bans after 18th have been european players going in too early for European release it seems.
Given there is no huge load of reports after 18 means nobody else in America got banned (other than being in a later wave)

I don't think so, since I saw someone who did DSiware downgrade forgot to format one of the console in the process,My friend let me use his 3ds secureinfo_A and LocalFriendCodeSeed_B. Can we both go online at the same time? Because it'd be really lame if we couldn't and I got him banned
This is all I know of, yet I have not bothered looking into it further.
There seems to be people who can circumvent the ban by injected the Localfriendcodeseed_B , NNIDsave.bin and secureinfo from a clean 3ds that has not been banned into the banned 3ds.(DONT NEED CERTS.DB.)
Do not use a donor nnidsave.bin if you are NNID banned. Use a zero padded 2,097,152 byte file. If you did not have an NNID, you probably don't need to do this since you shouldn't be getting 022-xxxx errors.
This only seems to give you access to online for games and not access to NNID services such as the E-shop. We dont know the side-effects of doing this to your 3ds so i do not recommend anyone doing this unless they know what they are doing. At this point, its best to wait 15 days to see if the ban is removed.


No, Nintendo ban from console identity, not NNID.Would something change if I link my old unbanned NNID?
It wouldn't apply as long as they don't go onlineBut I have 4 friends who got the game early from retail (on the 19th, 5 days before official release) and aren't banned as of today.
Where's the logic in there?
This. Only thing is, I doubt they would publicly leak a mainstream game on purpose. Cause remember, they cant tell you played early unless you went online. Those impatient/naive are the only ones bannedSmh... Its not like this is all new to us. I'm pretty sure Euro users know whats been going on with the bans since this topic is literally mainstream on this site now
and has even reached the depths of youtubers. Its pure impatience getting ppl banned. With all these bans going on my only fear is that Nintendo starts doing this to future new games b/c its working on SUMO

So i installed a leaked version but didn't go online.It wouldn't apply as long as they don't go online

Once its released, they can't tell who still has the game from the leak and who legally bought it
If your in the USA then yes your fine. But if you still feel nervous, You can back up the save and reinstall an eshop versionSo i installed a leaked version but didn't go online.
Should i remove and install from eshop or its fine now?

Nope!!! I'm in Brazil.If your in the USA then yes your fine. But if you still feel nervous, You can back up the save and reinstall an eshop version
However if you are in Europe or purchased your 3ds there, then it is not safe
If the CIA says version 0 then yes its converted from the cartridgeNope!!! I'm in Brazil.
I tried to download from Eshop but its downloading 102kb/s... Oh God!!
I red something about this :
0 = Retail Cart
32 = Eshop Sun
I dont know if my .cia its converted from retail cart. But since its leaked should be yes?
I'm afraid to try online. But its terrible to download from Eshop right nw!
Back up the save with jksm first, uninstall it, then reinstall the eshop versionHm I haven't gone online yet, and have the version 0 Moon. If I install the eshop cia, will it overwrite the version 0 and keep my save?

Yes, but very risky. Also, this will only let you go online only if i remember correctly, not eshop accessWould it be possible to change your console ID?
