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

[Ericzander]

If they are not already logging that information, they can easily add it in the next firmware update. It all depends on how badly Nintendo wants to stop piracy.

Lets not give them any ideas

But you're right, it seems possible. I don't see how we'll be completely safe. But it seems that, for now, public headers are a no no.

 

[tony_2018]

It just seems silly to sit here and debate on "how do we know, how was it confirmed". We do what we can with whatever information is provided and thats it because Nintendo isn't going to flatout tell anybody how its done. Just..........silly..............

Because I'm not a sociopathic asshole?

So you steal from Nintendo and feel entitled to play online using their servers and bandwidth that they pay for?

I don't steal* and don't do online. Try again.

Having said that, it's so little bandwidth and processing power it's barely even worth counting.

* If you do want to consider it stealing, the damage they suffer is minuscule compared to what they cause in promoting eternal copyrights and stopping derivative works. As I've said before, fuck big IP companies, they could burn in hell for all I care.

Yeah... I think that was a mistake. I think I remember reading that report and then him fixing it. Can SuperSVGA come here and clarify?

Edit: He said this


I'm assuming there was a mistake.

I found his banning suspect as soon as he said it worked on other emuNAND's. Other users have reported trying such measures w/o success. For his banning to behave differently than everyone else's is kind of hard to believe. I'm more inclined to think his "banned" emuNAND has borked internet settings or something.

It's be nice to hear what his results are now, but he's not exactly a frequent poster. I'll happily eat crow if I'm wrong, but something seems off w/ his "ban".

98 pages and I'm guessing the final line is - if you're pirating/stealing - don't go online?

 

[Ericzander]

Yeah there's something up with it. I think if and when they start banning CIAs, we'll know because there will be quite a few reports.

If you wanna go online use private headers. May still not be 100% safe, we're not sure. But so far 100% of reported bans (with the exception of one, which may be a false alarm) used public headers.

I'm glad I have always used my private header. Well to be honest I have used a public header one time only, but it was about 2 month ago and for less than 2 hours, I hope they didn't log me or something.

I recently changed all my online games to use a private header from a retail cart I bought new a few months ago. Took a while to make sure the current saves worked with the new header (esp. for card1 games), but I feel a tad safer now than using a public header everyone got from GBATemp. Also confirmed my online status, everything works fine (friend list, Pokemon, etc...).

We don't really know how to avoid bans, but for people new to this thread, definitely go private as a precaution anyway. It can't hurt.

So the new Zelda EU is out but i have US 3ds, already download it. But now I'm not sure if I should convert it to cia. I'm self-banning until this shit goes away

I got 5 on it.

If it ceases to function, that's not a ban (might be a brick or hardware failure?). If you go to the friends list and you get error code 002-0102, it may be banned.

Edit: Nevermind, misread your post.

 

[Radxical]

Think it's safe to use the same header for all of my games? If Nintendo bans people when two or more instances of the same header show up simultaneously, then it should be fine?

I suppose I don't mind just buying the actual game IF I want to play online. I just don't have a way to extract headers on 9.5 ;_;

Is anyone baned because of using cia or private headers ?

No. Somewhere in the thread, one person mentioned he was banned and used private headers, but it might just be a false alarm.

 

[bytor]

So has anyone been banned after using their own unique header injected from a legit game yet..?

Edit: Ignore my question, answered above!

I mean, I think private headers are definitely safer than public ones. The "banned" guy earlier claimed that he used a private header and was banned despite it. I think it should be dismissed as fear mongering though, but who knows? I don't see it on the ban list anymore, so maybe it's nothing to worry about.

 

[DjoeN]

I'm still trying to figure out where do GW users get public headers.....sky3ds has the template on there site so........

...

Don't know if it's already been answered?
Gateway users can get public headers with Gateway Rom Patcher, it has an option to use public headers, it also can generate a matching chip ID.
