What's the best practice to avoid bans?z
I've read some conflicting things so I'd just like to confirm:
- Going online with CIAs is safe.
- Use a custom header if going online with sky3ds.
- Having homebrew installed as CIA is not safe. Replace a system app with the homebrew instead.
- Turning off show friends what you're playing/ streetpass doesn't matter, so leave them on.
(Any other important info regarding bans I've missed?)
If the above is true, can I do one of the following?:
1. Replace a system app with the homebrew launcher and go online with CIAs. (to be relatively safe)
2. Have an offline emunand for CIAs and homebrew CIAs, and sysnand for playing legit games online. (to be completely safe)

Just bought a new 3DS XL Super Famicom UK-import on eBay, without first researching as much as I should have, and I was wondering if I'll have any issues modding it using the seedminer method listed on the 3ds.hacks.guide site? I live in the US and I wasn't sure if there's anything special I need to do.
Also, do I need a particular type of adapter or would any US N3DS-compatible charger work with it?
Thanks in advance for the information.

Nice, thanks for the response!
One last thing I was wondering about -- Is it possible to play regular DS games using the current CFW or will I need to get a flashcart for that?

its possible to an extent . . . this is the projects page [DS(i)/3DS] TWiLight Menu++/DSiMenu++/SRLoader - DS(i) Menu replacement
and here is a nds rom compatibility list List of games that work from SD Card
@Fil o_O: grab the "template_tools.zip" from the topic you linked, you need it to do this;
If you want to play AP-check games on a Sky3DS+ blue button:
Note: This requires your 3DS to be running a custom firmware and it only works for AP type 0x03 games
Pokemon Sun and Moon don't work with this method, they use method 0x05, so use a CIA instead
Open your 3DS rom in a hex-editor, go to offset 0x01FE and change the '03' to '00', this changes the AP-check version.
then go to offset 0x0207 and change the '40' to '00'. (Not quite sure what this flag is for but it seems to be needed)
This hex-editing will BREAK the 3DS Rom Signature, you need custom firmware to bypass the Sigchecks to
be able to run the game. (An official firmware 3DS will either see a white icon or it won't show up at all)
After you've hex-edited the rom, use the template tools in the page you linked in your first post to make
the 'template/header' for your edited 3ds rom and write the rom using disk writer like you would normally do.
Or just install cfw on the 32 gb card?

those both broadcast locally . . . now spotpass however broadcasts through wifi
Your basically just putting the cfw files needed on the sd card. CFW itself installs into the guts of the 3ds system itself, not the sd card.

only legit and purchased content will transfer
safer ? . . . no, more convenient definitely as you will keep all your pirated/unofficial content intact
i think you are confusing things here you can definitely move your badges (when you move the nnid associated with the account)
Thanks wormdood. I don't remember where I heard that badges wouldn't transfer, but it didn't seem to make sense.
Mistook StreetPass for SpotPass. I'd like to completely disable StreetPass actually, if it saves battery. Except you can't AFAIK, so I'll have to settle with disabling each title.
so, what does that have to do with anything? with a cfw and a 32 gb sd card inside the system, there's no need for the same sd card inside of a blue button sky3ds anymore. since op asked if cfw can bypass the ap check, I assume he's got a means to install cfw.
Get its CIA. It's the exact same process for dumping and for installing.
I purchased N3DSXL pre-modded. I installed a bunch of cias. Just wanted to know two things: Can I use my normal Nintendo ID with this system - will that give me the mii I originally created? Super Mario Maker is asking me to update. Is that safe? I'm on 11.8.0-41u
Thanks!
Thanks!

The Real Jdbye:
well actually
a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released -
