Hacking Error Code 002-0102, Have I been banned?

[batumulia]

What kind of bullshit is this? An N3DS with 4.5 firmware? Or maybe you incorrectly identified your system?

Ofcourse I mean an Nintendo3DS not a NewNintendo3DS.

as long as the game card is the right size you can use the one header on all your roms.

just don't hand it out =]

Thanks, how would I find out the right size? Where do I find more info about this?

Hey guys, I want to ask a quick question. Someone who know this please reply.

So, my question is that can we get header from every game like which we can't play online also have a header? There are many new games available online which are cheap and can't be played online, so... can we get header from those games too? Thanks for answering in advance.

yes you can take a header from any game at all.....no idea how safe it is, but pretty sure thats what 90% of people are doing here

Gateway ROM Patcher fixes the chip type and size automatically. You just have to add the cart ID.

SO, that means every game have a header file even if it can't go online? Am I right??

yeah, every game has a header

 

[KJ1]

yeah, every game has a header

That's good, so I think I will buy a cheap game Just to triple check, have you heard someone or tried yourself ejecting header from such games which can't be played online. Also, sorry for troubling you by asking the questions. Thanx for answering in advance.

I think it would be wise to rip the header of a purchased Game that has online functions if your going to use that for one of your "Backups" for online play...

please correct me if im wrong though?

yes a header from any game (including offline only games) allows you to play online for games that use online features......nobody knows how safe any of these routes are, but so far people using private donor headers seem safe

I'll be damn if they haven't figured that out by now after 70+ pages of this shit.

OK, Thanks for replying.

No, I don't think so, as gamesquest1 said, we can use header from any game even if they don't have online capability.

I have a N3DS still on FW4.5. If I'm correct I can use the launcher.dat and website from gateway to boot into the gateway mode and dump a private game? Which game is online and 4.5 compatible?

I'm assuming that by N3DS you mean Nintendo 3DS not New 3DS, since you are on FW4.5 and that's not a FW for the new 3ds. Confusing already.

Yes, you can use the gateway launcher.dat to dump games. No need to enter gateway mode. Just put the launcher.dat in the SD card and use some exploit to launch it, either the browser one or the DS Profile one.

To play the game, is another matter. You need a flashcart (gateway or the sky3ds flashcart, or a working clone of them) or you could convert the game to CIA format and then use CFW. Hard, but you won't need headers anymore.

And do I need a new header for every rom or can I use the header from private game and use it on all games?

We don't know for certain yet. We don't even know if this header swapping thing will really prevent the bans. I hope it is the latter because if it is the former we will run out of headers quickly.

you *can* doesnt mean its "safe"....but just because you can rip a header from a online capable game also doesnt mean its "safe".....nobody knows anything, people are placing their chips down on what they decide is the "safe" route.....might just turn out there is no safe route

Yeah, we shouldn't go online till Gateway releases a statement.

I bet buying retail games you want to play online is safe

 

[gamesquest1]

theories and possible flaws
1. using a unique header ripped from any game on multiple games #2 #3 #5
2. using a unique header ripped from any online capable game on multiple games #2 #3 #5
3. using .cia files #4 #5
4. using a different unique header ripped from any game to use one each different game #2 #5
5. using a different unique header ripped from any online capable game to use once on each different game #2 #5
6. only using rips of your own game that have the correct header for that specific game #5
7. playing with any old header you find on the internet #1 #2 #3 #5

#1 banned as multiple people are using the same header online
#2 banned based on the fact that the header is from a different game
#3 banned as the same header has been used online for multiple games
#4 banned as you do not legitimately have the game bought on your NNID
#5 banned as headers have nothing to do with how they are detecting flashcard usage

I'm worried about that as well. If you keep playing the retail games that originally contained your private headers, you will automatically use every header at least twice. So if Nintendo really notices the use of 1 header for multiple games, the only solution could be to buy some cheap garbage games, dump the headers and store them somewhere without playing them. (You can get PES 2011 for ~3 €, just buy 50 copies and you might be safe for a while .)

Wouldn't banning people based on headers be a bit risky by Nintendo e.g. someone buys a used game which has been dumped gets banned. It would be like 0.000001% likely but as long as it's possible I don't think a company would want to risk the potential problems of users getting wrongly banned.

 

[MrJason005]

just buy a game, go to your car with your 3ds, dump the game, and return it

to be honest... I don't think Nintendo would care that much as there is always a risk in buying pre owned games.

the problem here would be if the console itself has been blacklisted then sold and some poor guy buys it from a games shop.... I guess Nintendo would probably ask for proof that it was a recent purchase and un ban it?

if it did happen all they need to do for anyone claiming they got banned is request they send in the cart, check the cart, send out replacement and unban....maybe give them a freebie like a free eshop VC title for their trouble....at that point they then own the cart that has its header leaked and can comfortably ban anyone at all using that header from then on
