You can download it directly from the server as long you have the title keys

But it is not recommended to download and play the online services such as Pokemon as you can be banned

Freeshop works with CFW such as Luma3DS

you can only get banned if you play an out-of-region game or cheat

If your isp can notify you of a dmca violation from downloading a file p2p. Im sure nintendo can see who's connected to their servers. They could come after you if they wanted.

There is no P2P file transfer involved so your ISP cannot dmca you but Nintendo can directly ban your console

People have been banned from Pokemon Sun and Moon because they played before the release date, not because they downloaded the game through freeShop

They can't. You can download from your PC.
Nintendo can't ban a 3ds by their IP address.

The only solution for Nintendo to prevent that, is to add a layer of security.

I dunno why people here promote freeshop so much. Seems too risky for me.
Look, you can ask pretty much anyone who has CFW (which normally 9 times out of 10 means they have freeShop) and they'll tell you freeShop is great. There are no recorded issues with it (as far as I'm aware) and if you decide that it's too risky, that's your loss. I mean, feel free to prove me wrong, but I've only ever heard and received good from it. :)

Thanks everyone for the explanation on how it works. But I don't think I'll be using it. Too bold a move in my opinion. But thanks for explaining it.

I might be the minority, but I'm actually not using Freeshop. Not because I think it's "risky" or something.. but I find it more convenient to open that title key website on my PC or laptop and simply scan the QR code with FBI. I'm still quite new to A9LH+Luma so I've been testing different methods to find the best one for me including Freeshop, CIAngel, installing tickets and downloading via eShop, moving .cia files to the SD card etc.. and I figured that FBI+QR scan is the fastest and easiest method for me. Faster than launching Freeshop and typing different titles with the on-screen keyboard.

Yeah, that's also the best solution to find a japanese title.

FreeShop is completely risk-free. It's impossible for anything bad to go wrong, but me saying this probably won't change your mind, I understand that feeling.

But you have a point, QR code + FBI is indeed faster, and I can type in Japanese, something I can't do on the FreeShop :3

    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.

    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ps3 really has no titles worth going online over nps is the only reason you'd want wifi
