OK, so this pisses me off - I'm pretty sure they intentionally crippled their own device in order to sell Skydocks, making that a requirement to get your game's unique key in order to go online.
I had everything working great on firmware 1.30, updated it to 1.40 before attempting to play Pokémon UltraSun in case they added any new anti-piracy bypasses. Next thing you know, I'm getting Error 002-0123 "you cannot use online services with this game card"
So I thought maybe it was just UltraSun, which I had newly added to my card. I checked the first ROM I have, Pokémon Y, which has been able to go online since day one, as I use my own cartridge's private key. On firmware 1.30, it worked just fine. Tried it on 1.40... nope, same error!
Here's a screenshot of my config, the only change is that the firmware version was updated to 140 from 130.
My config files match this thread's instructions as well.
So my only theory is that they changed how the config has to be made when going from firmware 1.30 to 1.40... has anyone managed to get their games going online again after the update? I really do not want to go buy a Skydock. I own the game cards I'm using on the Sky3DS+ (Just consolidating them so I don't have to lug around 15 games), and dumped them using Gateway to get the private keys.
