How to Do things online on the 3ds without risk of getting banned. "3DS Safemode" as I call it.

Linus it's quite clear you meant no ill harm, many of experienced users have chimed in explaining why.

You tried to do a good thing but this time it didn't pay off.

Don't let this put you off in future, just maybe put further thought into it.... in the meantime relax and enjoy the beautiful weather (well it's nice hear anyway).

 

I don't know any sorry.... English, tiny bit of Spanish, tiny bit of French and that's it... for everything else there's Google translate for me

 

Hold on, can you please elaborate on this? Do you mean the Download Play game will always overwrite firm0 (thus making it unsafe to play via Download Play after installing b9s) or do you mean it only does so after following this guide? I worry I may be misinterpreting this.

 

Luma prevents this from happening.

 

don't forget to use the Home Menu Layout feature!
so when your games are resorted, you can restore one of your templates and everything will be sorted like it was before

 

follow it later. A long time has passed since I last used my 3ds

 

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE. It will cause you to lose CFW and comes with the potential for a brick. There is nothing that this guide will protect, going online with CFW has been safe for years.

 

That's not what I got banned for because I never did that. I hate that this misinfo is still going around years later. There were many people hit back in ban waves that never even played a Pokémon title.

 

Yes, there are rare reports of people who got banned for no apparent reason whatsoever during the "ban waves", which is probably a good indication that Nintendo probably isn't going to do something like that again rather than risk a pile of negative press.

 

Have you read the last few pages of the thread?

 

Allow me to save you some time: No, it's not safe.
