Hey guys, got my 2DS up and running with CFW, but I want to make sure I don't get banned. What precautions should I take? Also, I went to the eshop to get Kirby clash deluxe since it's free, but I would have to register a Nintendo network id to do so. If I install from a CIA, is it safer than connecting an id? And lastly, I saw that there is a hack for unlimited gem apples. Could this get me into any trouble if I use it? Thanks in advance.

I use a CFW on my 3DS and have not been banned. I suspect only people who edit Pokemon saves, cheat online and try to play pirated games online get banned. Can't guarantee what will happen to you.

editing pokemon saves isnt really a thing to get banned on. Ya it might get a global link ban. But not a lfcs ban. But none of them are certain.

Playing pirated games online does not result in a ban, the only time it ever has was with the leaks of Pokemon Sun/Moon and that was just the effects of playing those games online before launch. Cheating online will more often than not result in a ban.
It's worth noting that at this point, only cheating online seems to cause bans and not much else.

I see through your lies Nintendo spy
You aren't going to get banned for cheating offline, it's only cheating online that sometimes results in a ban. It's worth noting unbanning yourself is super easy.

Well, y'know, if you're not grinding along, collecting 5 apples every 12 hours, are you really getting the full Kirby Clash experience, or are you just cheating yourself?

(*You can spend 50 cents or something to boost your collection rate to 8 apples ever 12 hours, which really makes a lot of sense if you're going into it for the long haul.)

Haha I've been playing on a torrented Mario Kart 7 cia for the past several years BUT I had purchased a cartridge when it first came out sometime 8 or 9 years ago. So if they did "investigate" me they could have seen that on my Nintendo Network ID I had played the cartridge version before (assuming they collect that much data.) Never plugged the cart into my hacked 3DS though. I think the general rule is to play only on unmodified games that are within the region of your system and to not cheat or use hacks online.

Would I get banned for simply logging in to a device running CFW?
No

I'm not edgy enough.
Buy the game then.
