So here's the story: I have a regular 3DS with ambassador, gateway and a capture card installed. I also have a Japanese New 3DS LL with gateway and a capture card (I also have a 9.0 Australian N3DSLL but no capture card, a 3DSXL <4.5 w/ Gateway, and a couple other 3DS's w/ non-Gateway firmware...). I want to stream/record gameplay footage of online Pokemon battles/trades, and for this reason I'm considering getting rid of Gateway on the regular ambassador 3DS so I can be on the most updated firmware.
I'm kind of a noob at this stuff, but I've heard you don't need to be on the latest firmware to go online and trade as long as you have the cia for the patches? I also don't want to get banned, and that's my main concern. I'm only going to be home for a couple months, so with my limited time I think I might just be better off getting rid of Gateway on one of my capture-card 3DS's for the convenience of using online services without risk of getting banned, especially considering I already have my Japanese N3DS w/ gateway and a capture card installed. So I have nothing to lose, right...? Thoughts?
