Imagine you have an unmodified 3DS, and someone else is utilizing the FBI open-source manager. If you click on the title, it will direct to the e-shop, attempting to access FBI. However, since there are no traces of FBI in the Nintendo database, they conclude that it must be a modded application. Instead of holding the actual user responsible, they mistakenly accuse you of initiating this activity and consequently ban your console, rendering it unusable.
Banning on the 3DS is subject to just a text file allowing access to servers, the 3DS has no telemetry. By modding your console you can edit this file.
This logic doesn't pan out because you can StreetPass with people in different regions and they can have software not released on your eShop. So if a person in the US or Europe ran into a user that had 大海賊闘技場 they wouldn't get banned for attempting to search it on their local store. IIRC it just said something along the lines of "this software could not be found".
I gotta make sure I don’t use it before I go on a walk. I remember getting a streetpass tag on my 2DS a few years ago from someone who had used FBI, and I was so confused.
Hi, 3DS nerd here. clickinng that button is actually fine. it will just return a 404 - page not found. Nintendo will internally treat this as a glitch because the application ID is null, which is the fallback for EVERY app on the Eshop. The eshop will then just say that something went wrong and put you back on the main screen.

Sounds like something I would be paranoid about when I was younger. Fairly certain no bans could happen from this to either people even in the most active days of the 3ds
Hacks Guide admin here, 2016-2018 was a turbulent time due to ban waves from Nintendo. These would usually affect the Public seed file, which would store info about the console. A donor's seed file could get you unbanned, but if one of you got banned, then the other would get the hammer as well. There's some exceptions to the rule which would make this unban method a waste of time, but my memories of it are fuzzy, maybe someone who is still hands-on can chime in.
@@domino6490This is speculation on my end and others, but there is a possibility that Streetpass won't flag you for what happens in the video, since this happens for games from different regions as well (region lock sucked compared to today). However, you might get flagged if you have the title showing up in your Friends list, be it as a "frequently used title", or a "favorite title".
@@Forward000 No risk at all (except the one stated). If that was the case, believe me, you'd see warnings everywhere in the Guide about that one. You can even update FBI via Wi-Fi too lol. Personally, I think the dumbest ban cases were playing leaked titles and enabling online options of the game before launch day. That one was just asking to be blacklisted.
This won't get you banned lol. I personally made custom icons just to streetpass people with and amuse them with. It's great, and fully local so Nintendo never sees it!
@@FollowMe4REP I would mostly use Virtual Console injections of games and then make the icon whatever I wanted. The one I'm most proud of is the Anthrocon logo on a title called "Anthrocon 2023" for when I went to that convention last month. I also have a couple that are anime references and one that is an adult website that rhymes with corn pub.
Thank god that in the year of 2023, Streetpass has became essentially broken and Nintendo has killed all support for the 3DS. Now I’ll never get banned! But was it worth it…
They haven’t quite patched out StreetPass-in fact, I got more StreetPasses at an anime convention a month ago than I had in four years put together-but I’m worried that, considering that they’re Nintendo, they’re gonna push a StreetPass killcode any day now.
@@FollowMe4REPthey wont push any killcode, it would make no sense since the Streetpass function is hardware based not server based 🤷🏼♂️ also whats the point of killing it?
why would they "kill" StreetPass if it works locally and it's literally less effort for them to just let it keep running lmao Besides, even if they mess it up... it's actually surprisingly easy and safe to hack your 3DS (someone will reimplement/fix it as homebrew is what I'm saying)
How interesting, I've never had a banned console despite having 2 different modded 3ds's (only one of them is truly a 3ds) but I didnt know that was so easy
It's not about the person using them (in your case, you). It's about the person who doesn't know what modding is seeing that strange app and selecting "view in eShop". Doing that will alert Nintendo that you are associated with the FBI app. Which is ironic, because it's the person getting sniped by Nintendo who ISN'T using the app, meanwhile the person who is using a modded DS goes about their day worry-free.
@@sinzones3909 It didn't "close", it just stopped selling things! You can still access pages for games and redownload software you have already purchased, but all titles say "This software is currently unavailable."
You're telling me these modded apps would actually show up on an unmodded system? There's no signature check? So anyone could just spoof any icon and text they want and broadcast naughty messages? If true, seems like a very silly oversight.
I had the homebrew launcher set as my favourite game for a while and nothing happened, it only shows up for people that are also using a modified 3ds, for my friend with an unmodified one it just said I had no favourite game
Damn, I’m kinda jealous, since I only met 3 people via Streetpass. Also, the 3DS was awesome, and I was let down by how limited the Switch is compared to it.
Also if they want to ban they should ban only the account not the console because a lot of people will buy a banned console without noticing and that's lame they're not to blame for someone else mistake
@@realradiantrei it's still more difficult for people with older 3DS models to homebrew their devices, and that update shows Nintendo definitely somewhat cares in preventing people from homebrewing their 3DS'.
What's more incredible is when you find them in a western country, yet their Mii's name is written in South Korean Hangul, and their Mii dances while shouting; "ぽぴぽぴぽぽっぴっぽー！" But remember, a western 3DS can't render Hangul on its own! :0 So who is the -wasteman- one with the hacked 3DS nöw?
The joke is that you somehow manage to StreetPass an American or European Mii whose message is a Japanese song lyric, written in Japanese. Yet that American/European Mii's name is written in Hangul. That Mii in this situation would definitely be a hacker with a modded keyboard. However, in order for you, the StreetPass recipient, to have read that Mii's Korean name, you would need to have hacked your western 3DS console to display Hangul characters. Otherwise they would show up as question marks. 전체적인 농담은 일본어로 작성된 일본 노래 가사를 메시지로 하는 미국 또는 유럽 Mii를 어떻게든 StreetPass에 성공할 수 있다는 것입니다. 그런데 그 미국/유럽 Mii의 이름은 한글로 적혀있습니다. 이 상황에서 Mii는 분명히 개조된 키보드를 사용하는 해커일 것입니다. 그러나 StreetPass 수신자인 귀하가 Mii의 한국 이름을 읽으려면 Western 3DS 콘솔을 해킹하여 한글 문자를 표시해야 합니다. 그렇지 않으면 물음표로 표시됩니다. 죄송합니다. 한국어를 쓸 수 없기 때문에 Google 번역을 해야 했습니다.
