Nintendo begins banning pirates from 3DS online service

[hellionz]

9.4 is not safe - look here!

thx

Massive question: Is the Ban permanent? Or has anyone been unbanned?
Has Nintendo confirmed the reason for the ban? Or provided ANY information other than "You have been banned"?
Can banned consoles access the internet for legit games?

We can assume it's perm ban

legit games don't work online after the ban

Yikes!

Which is basically the same as a ban, IMO. Now if you just wait to see if we get more concrete info, that's fine. But come Friday, I'm buying MH4U and I will be playing online within the week (Village quests first, of course )

Well not quite the same. I paid $40 for OmegaRuby, and I can't afford to lose online for it. Don't care so much about rooms and CIAs, since I didn't pay for them, I have no right to get angry.

was going jump on the ban wagon but FUCK THAT!!

Sky3DS owner here. What did people expect?

Nintendo was eventually going to find a way to detect/ban these cards (Sky & GW). It seemed odd that the last couple updates have done very little in the way of blocking. Going online with pirated games using public headers seemed like a generally bad idea. I just hope for everyone's sake that it's just a hardware ban and not your NNID.

Also, I've never gone online with any of the games on my Sky. So ban free here.

Okay, this is odd. I have three emuNAND SD cards, FW 9.2, 9.4, and 9.5. I only get the error on my 9.5 SD. I'm going to try updating my main 9.2 to 9.5 and see what happens.

So can you play online or not?

If nintendo have taken a leaf out of microsofts book, then all those saying "im not banned and i used...." May still have the big ban hammer fall on them in the coming weeks months... It all depends how nintendo is logging all the information and whether you are being flagged up.

Who said the ban is instant? They might just flag some up. And then ban later

I'd rather it be like Microsoft, then. At least with my 360, I simply just "not be a dick" or do anything blatant like try to play games before release, and rocking well. In many ways, it's because of that attitude that I'm much, much more likely to get an Xbox One over even a WiiU with my hard-earned $$$$ at this point in time.

Sony can kiss my ass, because they refused to even provide a reason for banning my account and system. It's not even like I played online at all. And I earned all my trophies legit.

I didn't have any inherent frustrations with Nintendo hardware... but that EULA update for the WiiU is an automatic turn-off... because if I buy a WiiU with my cash, FIRST thing I'm going to do is hack the vWii portion and start setting up so I could also run Gamecube ISO's off it (that is as long as after I can move my legit purchases onto it, you know). The fact that they want the "right" to snoop around your console at will, and then disable your ability to use the console until you accept the update, is an automatic deal-breaker.

speaking about sony. i got banned on a PS3 game and guess what they banned my fucking Vita version has well. fucking cross play bull shit just ban the PS3 version but leave my VITA alone so sony can suck a borderlands midget's dick. i'm should keep harssing sony to fix this shit but fuck them

 

[ElYubiYubi]

So now Sky3DS can't do online either. Really makes me want to buy one. [/sarcasm]

It can. Just that ypull get banned. Same with GW

 

[gorly]

any one has information about play online with legit cards in GW-Classic Mode(emuNand9.5)
it safe for play?

It's probably safe, but we don't know how they determine who gets a ban.

With GW you can dump your own private header to avoid getting banned. You can't do that with Sky3DS.

There has been ONE report of that, and it turned out to be a false alarm.

You can use private headers with Sky3DS but have no way of getting them with it. And while it might change in the future, private headers have been safe so far.
