Hacking Private header/online question

[markmcrobie]

As I understand it, going online with Sky3DS using a ROM with private headers from another cart is a risk, since Nintendo may see 2 or more people connecting using that header, and ban them.

So my question is how do it work with pre-owned games going online? Won't Nintendo see that that cart has been online before with a different system?

Or am I missing something (entirely probable!)

You don't understand. You WANT a private header from another rom. You WANT that header to be from an online game YOU own that was brand new. What makes it private is you are the sole user of that header. You have to use a program someone here made to turn that header into a template for the sky3ds.

They probably check if that header in online more than once at the same time.

That's what I assumed. So public headers would be fine, assuming 2 or more people didn't connect at same time?

Let's assume you walk into a public bathroom at a busy restaurant. Sure there are chances you can have the whole place to yourself, but odds are someone is inside taking a dump. Try not to use public headers.
