It was patched on 11.4. I may honestly try going back to 11.3 if I still have a nand dump for it.

Would I be at risk of getting banned only if I try to play a non-legit title online?
Or just going online with any non-legit title installed?

There's ban potential for this if 11.8 added any sort of telemetry that would allow Nintendo to cross-check installed titles against a list of titles you've legitimately purchased.
Safest thing to do right now is use emuNAND.

What if I still am stuck in 11.7? Could I be able to use that special shop without any risks?

so there is no way we 11.4 and higher users can still play online?

There is one way...but it's not really recommended. There's a guide somewhere, I'm on mobile so it'll take time to look for it

Let me explain the problem with this

This is making a frankenfirmware, you basically make your 3DS run 11.7 with some 11.8 parts, essentially making it able to run online BUT with the risk of doing something wrong and making the 3DS unbootable, and we don't know how 11.8 works, we don't know if you'll still get banned. It's basically based out of luck

I am still capable of using online as 11.7, am I still sending those tickets to nintendo when I go online with my games?

Damn son, talk about end of an era, Nintendo decided to end the 3DS with a bang. Good on Nintendo, securing something.

You're probably safe until Nintendo starts requiring 11.8 for online play. After that, you won't be able to connect online on 11.7, and any method of bypassing the 11.8 requirement could be met with a ban itself.

Just for clarification, would a ban result in a console deactivation, or a NNID account deactivation?

great! I had frankenfirmware before with no problems. but I will make sure to get a NAND backup before this time.

Who cares, what the hell are people playing online anyway?

Smash Bros and the Wonder Trade in Pokemon are the two services relevant to me.

jengatower · Jul 31, 2018

so only going online in a pirated game puts you at risk of a ban? or is it more complex than that?

SAIYAN48 · Jul 31, 2018

Guess I aint upgrading from 11.6. I don't really use wireless anyways.

On 11.8, yes. That's our understanding right now. It could turn out that it's more complex than this as we learn more.

puyo puyo chronicles, smash, animal crossing and pokemon are things I play online regularly (and sometimes monster hunter 4) : P
