lol that was unnecessary. For the 100th time: The ticket check happens at INSTALL time (from the CDN, NOT from CIA!). NOT at launch time, NOT while connecting to online servers.shit, I went and deleted all my pirated cias because I was concerned
First part is correct, but freeShop doesn't send any ticket to the eShop. For example this URL: http://nus.cdn.c.shop.nintendowifi.net/ccs/download/0004001020025100/00000007 is the european microSD management (one content, encrypted). Now when you download it on the PC, you don't send the new headers - that's exactly what freeShop does. Right now, that could mean that a system on 11.7 downloads something from the eShop - but when Nintendo activates a serverside check for a valid ticket and forces the update to 11.8, that would mean that you couldn't download from CDN anymore without a valid ticket in the header. Nintendo could either ban (if they check the console id serverside) or just forbid the access.Basically, an app ticket refers to your 3DS sending a signal to the Eshop servers saying "I paid for this game and I want to download it" and Freeshop sends a fake app ticket to the Eshop to let you download content directly..
Yes it has, because you don't have a valid ticket for pirated games if you acquire them through freeShop.It has nothing to do with whether your pirated copy is real or not
Yeah, online-play is unaffected and works just like before.playing it online should work fine.
