Like, say if I wanted to download a .cia of Pokemon Prism onto my 2DS. Would that be illegal? I've checked online, and all I see are people debating over it. I want the clear answer...

I don't...Rom hack patches are legal. The rom/.cia itself are illegal to download. But who here doesn't pirate 3ds games?
No, it's illegal everywhere in the EU and the US.As pustal said, it depends on where you do it. In the US it's illegal, in Portugal it's legal, for example. In any case, I don't know of anyone anywhere that got punished for downloading only.
It's not that it's legal, it's just that it's been unofficially stated by investigators and some judges that they have too much work on their hands to deal with those situations, so the Public Ministry won't make a case of it. Now, if you make lots of money on ANY illegal activities, you will be investigated and most likely go to court to be prosecuted.in Portugal it's legal, for example. In any case, I don't know of anyone anywhere that got punished for downloading only.
Don't know about legality, but yeah, this is pretty obvious.For the most part, creating your own ROMs and using them is legal in terms of private usage.
It's still a grey area because the tools needed to dump games etc are normally illegal. Especially since a lot of media has DRM protection that needs to be bypassed before a copy can be made. So it's not exactly common sense.Don't know about legality, but yeah, this is pretty obvious.

Yeah, no. Nintendo's Eula is not a law, but a license agreement. There's a bit of a difference there...you should already know its illegal as the nintendo eula that you agreed to says so
plain and simple you cant legally modify the console or its games legally
You're not serious, are you?and whats with all these "it depends on your country" answers bull if i break a Japanese law then i am still a criminal it matters not if i live in the usa all that means is i will likely get away with my crime but does not remove my criminal status . . . think people . . . think
why do you think they get it licensed in the first place? for fun . . . its a contract and that alone gives it validityYeah, no. Nintendo's Eula is not a law, but a license agreement. There's a bit of a difference there...
if you are asking this i am not sure you know what illegal meansYou're not serious, are you?
It doesn't matter what Nintendo's Eula says if it's not enforceable in the jurisdiction you're in. Nintendo's Eula isn't some sort of global law that everyone has to abide by.why do you think they get it licensed in the first place? for fun . . . its a contract and that alone gives it validity
I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that for something to be illegal, there has to be an applicable law that forbids doing that thing.if you are asking this i am not sure you know what illegal means
