I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Going online with flash carts on a new console is certainly a choice. The first Switch already hardware banned for doing that, so this isn't new.

I know people that got their Nintendo DS banned for using flash carts. This ain't new.

You sure about that? DS online was so basic that they actually didn't have the capability to do bans back then.

Yah, definitely not DS or DS lite. Playing online with pirated games on a hacked 3DS MAYBE, but certainly not flash carts.

That said, I hacked my N3DSXL AGES ago so I could back up my Monster Hunter saves in case something ever happened before XX was released and I could transfer my data, played online a shit ton (with my R4DS in the cart slot) and was never banned.

Yes, but it was only a few games when they were played/used on flashcarts before the game released :p
Happened with phantasy star zero iirc
It was also not nintendo's choice but the game devs. So it was game bound, not console bound
