Hacking Will I get banned if I install a cia of The Legend of Zelda Four Swords Anniversary Edition?

I know the game is free but I was just wondering. I'm not that knowledgeable on 3ds hacking so I don't know the answer.

You probably won't get banned for anything on the 3DS these days, unless you cheat online.

Nobody has been banned for installing pirated games.

Yes nintendo only ban people for cheating on the 3ds.

i thought they stopped online services for the 3ds now (Mainly pokemon)

Not including issues with 3ds files on flashcarts, there are only a few ways to get banned on the 3DS:

1. Cheating online
2. Playing online with a game that hasn't been released yet
3. The CFW ban if May 2017, which was largely due to installing illegitimate titles like freeShop or FBI to the home menu

Pirated games are indistinguishable from legitimate titles from Nintendo's point of view on the 3DS.

I predicted they would have stopped this summer, but I was wrong. 3DS and Wii U online play are still going strong. I play Splatoon 1 and Ultra Moon online on a regular basis.

Bans haven't been dished out in forever as I understand it. You'll be perfectly safe.

The Pokemon "Global Link" got shut down, but that was pretty much just a web interface. All other online features still work fine. I expect we would still have the official Nintendo WFC (for DS and Wii) if that network wasn't beyond Nintendo's control.

You won't be banned for installing any CIAs. If you were to install a fake ticket and try redownloading the game from the eShop, then you could get in trouble.

You will only get banned on the 3DS & WiiU for using cheats online, anything else and your perfectly fine!

You will not be banned unless you cheat online.

Banned for cheating online? You only get banned if you enable spotpass in the settings. Not the spotpass in-game

That has never been proven to be true or falso.
