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

[Fire_Slasher]

Has there been any report on a ban on 3DS currently using legit cards but has used Sky3ds cards and connected to the Internet before?

Well the fact that one has used legit carts doesn't affect anything, you connect online with a public header using sky 3ds and you're banned, they don't check to see if the user has played legit games before.

Of course I have injected the headers in all roms. Another good reason is that I don't want to check everytime If the game I want to play has online or not, so I "patch" them all.

This is basically what I do...all my roms are .3dz with my own header.

My point is it is not "safer" to do so if you are trying to avoid being banned and it sounded like you were suggesting as much.

So using our own header we're out from getting banned?(Using gateway?)

And cias are "free"?

We should have a faq about this

 

[KidIce]

That currently seems to be the case given the reports so far. That could change though, so use you GW/Sky online at your own peril.

That's currently all conjecture on whether or not that is safer than public headers. All we know is that people who use private headers/.CIAs haven't been banned yet.

I think it is, we don't know if the 3ds is capable of memorizing all the stuff we do even offline and then when we go online it sends all to Nintendo. So by having a private header in all the games there is no problem.

This thread is about 99 pages of speculation (including stuff I've thrown out there) and "will I be safe?" with 2 pages of good posts, I'm out of here until there's some legitimate new information.

Keeping it on topic, I'll let you guys know if/when I get banned using retail carts in classic mode.

well, thanks for replying. What I really mean is that, for example, I have used sky and got connected before but now I'm using the legit card only. Do I still have the risk of being banned?

Yes

We dunno exactly when nintendo started or if they've been keeping a log of everyone that connected in the past months using public headers, we only know that bans started after firmware 9.5 so if you connected recently you're already running the risk of getting banned next time you try to go online.

I think most of the bans happened 5 days or more after a flash cart was used. So stopping may not help. If you are going to get hit you will.

Put a blindfold on, light a smoke, pray for survival.

I'd say Ninty's action is most likely reactive aka they ban you after you go online now (if they catch you), instead of scanning months of usage data. Hopefully I'm right.

Yeah, not many people have only ever connected to online services with private headers/retail cartridges like me. I thought something like this might become an issue at some point.

i always using a PUBLIC header with a PUBLIC ROM file
i playng Pokemon Y and Rubn with this header, i haven't get banned(and NEVER), really (=

Do you use multiple headers for different games or one header for all?

I use the same header for all my games(pokemon omega ruby)

all roms are public, its only the header that is different between roms, nobody knows the specifics of what triggers the bans, they may be doing them in small batches, they may just be doing random scans and banning as they catch them......could even be one of the bosses with a big list of known targets playing eeny, meeny, miny, moe with everyone

 

[Ericzander]

it's not just that..I have CIA's...but I choose to not go online with EMUNAND with them, I have a retail cart of smash to go online.

retail = online
pirate = 3DZ / CIA.

It's really that simple. No mucking around with headers, ROM patching or spoofing required

That sounds like a sound plan... Assuming that Nintendo can't, or won't, start banning for playing pirates games offline too.

Just be sure to comment here in the next few days to let us know you're banned.
