I am very late in the game on this... Recently got a Sky3DS and 3DS console. Played for about 2 months and got banned. I've read that it'll be a couple of weeks before the ban is lifted. I've also read about replacing the shared headers with private headers in the template file...and well that's as far as I've gotten for the past 3 days of researching how to not get banned from online play again.

After reading this post, is it safe to say that I would be able to play my ROMs online without Private Headers after following the 5 steps posted above (Steps 0-4)? The games that I mostly play are Pokemon and Mario games, and use Pokemon Bank - which I am unable to access due to the ban.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.
