Homebrew 3DS Ban?

[DynastyVic]

1. Does a hacked 3ds get banned from online by being hacked?
2. I read about internet ban. Is that still a thing?
3. 3ds.guide says about removing friend list and turn off spotpass which makes sense but has anyone gotten banned from keeping them on?
4. Can I play online?

Ok there are only 3 ways to get online banned.

1. Cheating online.
2. Playing a game online before it's official realese date. (not a problem anymore as not really any new games coming out.
3. Using a stolen credit card in the eshop.

So yes you can safely play online if you don't do any of the above.

Can I keep spotpass on and my friend setring. I understand the friend setting can potential show the hacking software e.g. fbi. Which can cause an issue but unlikely your friends will report you to Nintendo.

I believe spotpass can be kept on but the friend setting must be turned off.

friends setting dont really matter. you can have both turned on if you are wanting to play with friends.
