I'm gonna download a Sm4sh ROM from "that one iso site" and put it on my Gateway. Then I'll play online everyday with it. will Nintendo ban me?
If I use a .cia I won't get banned?Use .cia and you won't.

Okay. I'll probably use a .cia then. And I did buy the game but traded it to someone for a GBA gameshark.You shouldn't get banned if you use .cia
Nobody has reported being banned using .cia so far.

Just because they HAVEN'T started banning for it, doesn't mean that they WON'T in the future. The second you hack up your console, you're at risk of banning, basically until the system's dead weight.
The bans are coming from using public headers and .cia files don't have headers. Unless they find a new way to detect if it's a rom or not then .cia files are safe for now
I don't think you realize how easy it is for them to check if you're using a pirated cia. They have your eShop purchase history, they just have to check the game against that and they can be 100% sure whether you pirated the game or not. I consider private headers safer, the only way they could detect those is if they have a database of which headers correspond to which games.The bans are coming from using public headers and .cia files don't have headers.

Operative words there being "for now". This certainly could change at any point in time. EDIT: don't get me wrong, I run .cia's online myself, but I know the risk, and I'm not going to be upset if I end up banned because of it.
People would have said public headers were safe before the bans started coming.
There's no such thing. You accept the risk of getting your console banned if you play pirated games. It doesn't matter how you do it. It is 100% detectable.
