I am on Gateway 2.3 omega with latest emunand. Is there a way I can play my roms online without getting banned? Also what is the difference between a "scene dumped" rom and a nonscene dumped rom? Thanks.
Do you know if its safe to play online? How can I make sure i dont get banned?
Don't listen to eggsample up above, that's bollocks what he says, know one knows 100% for sure so I suggest by a cheap 4GB game from the shops and export the header out of it and use that, then use Hexeditor to change the values to suit the game. Just to be sure.
So having a header makes going online safe?

You need to edit the header otherwise you won't be able to go online. You don't need to buy a 4GB game, you can use any game that you own. The reason for getting the header off your own game is so that you have a unique Cart ID instead of using a public one. It's assumed that this will reduce your chance of being banned (even though there are currently no known cases of someone being banned by using a public header).
To get your own unique header, you'll need to use the Gateway launcher menu to backup a game, then load that ROM into Gateway ROM Patcher and hit the Export button. Once you have the header, follow the instructions here to use it and edit it for other games. http://gbatemp.net/threads/scene-roms-online-tutorial-for-dummies.370589/
EDIT: I actually noticed that the link also gives instructions for getting your own header, so it has everything you need there.
If there was a header on a rom, that would be public. To make sure it's unique, it needs to be your own purchased game.Do i have to purchase a game? Is it possible to use a downloaded rom?
What if the rom i download is a .3dz file instead of .3ds and is online patched?
It's completely wrong to suggest that this will stop you from being banned. It doesn't stop Nintendo from knowing you're using a gateway. It doesn't stop them from banning you in the future, or even remote bricking your console. Yes, no one has been banned using their own header, but no one has been banned for using one of the shared headers either. It's just an assumption someone came up with which has pretty much no basis in fact.Don't listen to eggsample up above, that's bollocks what he says, know one knows 100% for sure so I suggest by a cheap 4GB game from the shops and export the header out of it and use that, then use Hexeditor to change the values to suit the game.

no need to get offensive, yeah its pretty much unknown if/what/when anything will happen but its plausible that they would be able to detect 1000 games using the same ID rather than just 1 game using the wrong ID, but again there no guarantee they cant just outright see who is and isn't using a flashcard.......nobody has been banned but there is no guarantee anyone will or won't just go with your gut instinct, does 2 mins to patch with a personal header, or a few months down the line having a bunch of people sayi "I TOLD YA!!!!"It's completely wrong to suggest that this will stop you from being banned.

I don't see how any of what I said was even slightly offensive..no need to get offensive, yeah its pretty much unknown if/what/when anything will happen but its plausible that they would be able to detect 1000 games using the same ID rather than just 1 game using the wrong ID, but again there no guarantee they cant just outright see who is and isn't using a flashcard.......nobody has been banned but there is no guarantee anyone will or won't just go with your gut instinct, does 2 mins to patch with a personal header, or a few months down the line having a bunch of people sayi "I TOLD YA!!!!"
yes it may never happen but then again it just maybe possibly might
Okay I'm trying to play super smash bros I think I have the correct rom, my question is would I be able to play online if I change the card type to Card 2 the spi on my card is not working so I can't play card 1 games
For 1000th time since smash came out. Use the fucking search tool.
There's another forum for people who don't want to burn neurons reading stuff, where you download the whole header and just inject it into to Rom
