I recently bought a sky3ds+ and i wanna play online, I read about private headers and i have a question, Do you need a new private header for each rom in the sky3ds+, and do the headers have to be from the same game, ie if i wanna play moon online, do i have to get a private header from a copy of moon, or any game will do?

You can use the header from any retail cartridge you own for all ROMs. Also, why did you spend that much money when you could have gotten an R4i Gold RTS to install custom firmware for loads cheaper?

I dont wanna homebrew my 2dsxl, and I want to play 3ds games. In the future, I'll buy an R4I gold rts, but not while my 2ds is under warrenty

I get that, but ntrboot would allow you to fix all kinds of software bricks yourself, the chances of the hardware breaking on its own are very slim and the warranty isn't gonna cover damage caused by you, so there's not really much to worry about.

Why do you not want to homebrew your 2DSXL?
Also, CFW can play 3DS games in CIA games (.3DS games can be converted to .CIA games very easily)

In literal terms it is homebrew because every bit of it is developed by an unlicensed third party. There's plenty of homebrew going on.
No, homebrew is when user-made software is able to run on a console that normally wouldn't allow it. With the Sky3DS, as far as the console is concerned it is running a game cartridge like it is supposed to, only. The software that is being run is original game code (not user made) and the thing that is tricking the console is hardware.

In the case of DS homebrew running on a DS flashcart, there is hardware involved, but the code being run is user made. In the case of 3DS piracy on CFW, the code being run (for the game) is not user made but the code run by the console to allow the game code to be run is user made.

    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Atleast it has captions
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, idk why facebook tried to do that metaverse thing if mmo games already existed before
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And Yea I refuse to call it meta
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I refuse to call it Meta, too. It's a stupid name.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then why did you call it like that a minute ago?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't get why Facebook ever wanted to dabble into virtual reality, when other companies were doing it.
