Hacking Will I be banned?

[Maximilious]

I have played the leaked ver of moon, however, I was planning to buy the game to begin with (gonna pick it up this week). With that said, I have a few questions:

1. I have spent more than 20hrs playing the leaked/pirated copy of the game, can I import my save to the cartridge? If so, how.
2. If the answer to 1 is yes, is there is a chance of me still getting banned? (Since the 3DS records when you started playing the game or something...)

Advance thanks for the answers.

You should be able to do this with the GW launcher and SaveDataFiler. I'm not sure if a newer method has been developed since then though.

I deleted the moon cia I got a few days ago and redownloaded the one from ciaangel today now. Do you think it's safe to go online? I really need to know what version the cia is/someone tell me how to check. I don't see anything in ciaangel and I just want to double check as i'd like to go online in this game eventually.

Go into fbi and check your titles, pokemon moon will show you the version when you highlight it

Yeah look like v16. Is it safe to use online features for this game then or should I wait?

It's released, just use them! Someone already confirmed released version is v16, keep asking and you might go crazy!

Fair enough. Thank you!

I just dumped moon my self and it has version 0. It was dumped from moon that came with sun as well. So?

All cart dumps will be v0. v0 is confirmed working online today without ban.

So here we have it here.

I played the CIA leaked version for ten minutes in WIFi. Festival plaza, and made a free battle. Everything went along as planned. It works.

I went to the Eshop it works. No error code whatsoever.

I have just used Triforce Heroes and tested Wifi. Works fine with no error codes at all.

Note that I have never connected to the internet before the release date of today, meaning no chance of ban waves affecting me at all.

It is completely safe as long as you respect the release date from your region.

For those asking whether it is safe to transfer the leaked CIA save to the cart that you yourself bought, go right ahead. I have made multiple trades today and everything worked. All my games worked and Eshop also worked. The date of the save has never been changed as well (again it is based on the 3DS clock so it will not matter at all.)

Yes, due to fearmongering from people thinking that the leaked CIA is the one causing the bans.

Ask him to go to the NNID setting in System Settings.
I doubt if your quoted person has an NNID.

Well, i don't have an NNID either... Haven't tried going online with it though. (Leaked sun from that iso site, unsure if Lurantis)

Do you have FBI? If so, check the game and the version on it. And i still don't think that the NNID is the reason, as they ban the console with a hyperban, and if you access nintendo network, then they do a NNID ban. Everything points to them banning the .cias V0 so far.
If your .cia is V16 or V32 (depending of being moon or sun respectively), there shouldn't be any problem

v0. That's why i'm asking, I guess i'll wait for the legit version to come (if it comes preinstalled in special versions consoles).

Nintendo have banned sky 3ds users based on header information.

Again if you have ver 0 pokemon it should only be on cartridge. therefore quite simple for N to check ver 0 + (no header) - means pirated cia which means ban.

If you have version 0 best to delete and pray you havn't been flagged yet.

 

[SomeKindOfUsername]

They banned Sky3DS users because the headers were being shared via the ROM files, so it was easy to tell who were playing pirated copies - if Nintendo saw multiple users with the exact same header they'd simply ban those users. Since nobody does "public" headers anymore, and I don't think cias even allow for that, this hasn't been a problem for quite some time.

It's easy to say that anyone who went online before the game was officially released got banned.
But, as this would affect legitimate buyers who just got a physical copy of the game early Nintendo probably wouldn't ban based on that alone. Probably.

So, the question is, how did/does Nintendo know to ban a pirated copy and not somebody who just got a physical copy early?
One plausible explanation is that you're shown playing the eShop version of the game despite the game not being released in your region, which is an obvious red flag for a banning since such a scenario shouldn't be possible.
Other theories involve Nintendo implementing a new method of anti-piracy involving detecting the leaked cia or looking at version numbers. More specifically, detecting if you're using version 0 of either game but not playing directly off a real physical copy or if you're shown playing the eShop release but the version isn't 16/32 as it should be. Historically though, this has never been an issue and may not even be possible.

Still, to be on the safe side, it's suggested to go with versions 16/32 since those should be seen as digital/eShop copies of the game and theoretically be safe. We know that bans are dealt out in waves, so it may be too early to say whether or not anybody playing any copy of the game is actually safe.

As somebody who temporarily installed a non-leaked, apparently version 0 cia of the game after it was officially released and only opened it for a second before finding out about any of this crap I can only hope that something really sneaky isn't going on and I'm not screwed. Because I may have had online enabled and, somehow, the game update notification server (or whatever it's called) saw what version of the game I had installed even if I didn't go online in-game.

EDIT: Well, apparently there are some cases of those who did get a physical copy early who also got banned. In a selfish way, I hope that it's just a simple matter of going online before the release since that would mean I'm safe.

So if one person who said he/she wasn't affected by 002-2812, he/she probably didn't have an NNID and missed checking NNID setting.
This is not enough to prove he/she isn't affected by 002-2812.
He/she HAVE TO check NNID setting before evidencing anything.

And as I said in another thread before, people shouldn't buy 2nd-hand 3DSes WITHOUT VIDEO PROOF of unbanned in NNID setting.

022-2812 IS a DeviceID ban from NNID server.
No more imagination.
