Hi, maybe someone can help me 🙁

I'd like to play Mario Kart 7 again. I installed the software on my Nintendo 3DS following a tutorial on YouTube.
But when I search for a game on my console, it doesn't find any players :/

Are there anyone currently playing the game?

slim sable
#

yes there should be people playing it

subtle nest
#

:((
I don't know why I can't find anything.
I don't know if it includes which version to install, I don't know...

I'm totally new. I just found my old 3DS U.U.

#

can you help me?

#

I don't speak English, so I'm using Google Translate.
In case you see something weird xd

slim sable
#

yeah one sec

subtle nest
#

oki uwuw

#

I had two games, Smash Bros. and Mario Kart.
In Smash, I found a maximum of three players, if I recall correctly. But in Mario Kart, I didn't find anyone :((

#

i have 2 games*

slim sable
#

that's good do you have luma 3ds installed

subtle nest
#

yes

#

I think that's what it's called. I don't know if you want to check something or need a photo of something.

slim sable
#

ok let me try real going online quick

subtle nest
#

There was just one problem, I don't know if it had any influence. The video said I had to log in with my Nintendo account and blah blah blah. The problem is, I used to play with my console when I was 12. So, I don't have their credentials, so it was impossible for me to recover them.

But despite everything, I was able to see those three players in Smash Bros.

i just got into a match

subtle nest
#

Mario Kart?

slim sable
#

yes

subtle nest
#

:((

#

Does the version matter?
Or what can I do?

slim sable
#

try finding one agian and let me know what happens

subtle nest
#

That's what I've been doing, but it just stays on searching.

slim sable
#

do you have a pretendo network id

subtle nest
#

on my internet?
Do you mean like having a fake IP address?

#

I have those files installed on my SD card, and it says "luma" there. So yes, I installed it with that lol.
Doesn't the version or anything like that affect anything?

slim sable
#

what version do you have

subtle nest
#

and I have some "godmode"

subtle nest
slim sable
#

did you get the pretendo app from universal updater

subtle nest
#

The guy uploaded those links to YouTube, and that's when I started downloading them.

#

I don't know if the photos are of any use.

slim sable
#

ok if you have fbi do you have universal updater

subtle nest
#

yes?

#

Are you asking me or are you confirming it?

slim sable
#

wait did you go to the pretendo website yet

subtle nest
#

He made me go to GitHub and that file was there, and I think that's where I got the intended one.

subtle nest
#

Although I have Pretend on my 3DS

slim sable
#

so you see an aplacation called nimbus on you're 3ds and it has the pretendo logo on it

subtle nest
#

I have that on my console, okay?

There's a version for sale there.

slim sable
#

ok and you already switch it to the pretndo server

subtle nest
#

yes.

slim sable
#

ok and you are using the right version i see

subtle nest
#

The only thing I couldn't do, because I don't understand what to do, is how to log into the Nintendo Network, since I lost my account many years ago.

subtle nest
#

So, what's up? 🙁

slim sable
#

give me one second i'm thinking what to do next

subtle nest
#

Alright

#

This was the only thing I couldn't do because I didn't understand how. I tried for about two hours and made no progress.

slim sable
#

on the prtendo website there is a like to a guide on how to set that up

subtle nest
#

I just got it working XD.
I just logged in, and I got a Gmail from Pretendo, look.

slim sable
#

good

subtle nest
#

The real problem is that it asks me to log in, and I don't remember my account password. Because it's over 10 years old, does that matter? lol

slim sable
#

let me think

subtle nest
#

ok ):

#

I really appreciate your help, thank you for your time and patience.

slim sable
#

no problom

subtle nest
#

Just in case you want to know how I managed to get through this. XD
I decided to start the console from the Pretendo server.
I created the ID there, and then I got the email.

Before, I was doing it from the Nintendo server. XD

Doesn't matter, right?

slim sable
#

yeah

#

you're welcome

subtle nest
#

Look, I found a player there, how strange...

#

But, aren't there more people?

slim sable
#

you'll get conected to random rooms

subtle nest
#

I'm searching for players again, but I can't find anyone.
In any case, shouldn't the room be full of other players?

#

No.
I tried searching for players again, but now I can't find anyone.

What's going on?

slim sable
#

do you have the latest 3ds version

subtle nest
#

let me check...

#

I have the following version: 11.17.0-50U

slim sable
#

that's the right one

subtle nest
#

So why can't I play properly? 🙁

slim sable
#

i'm not sure anymore try asking someone for help in the pretendo section either tomorow or now but try tomorow

subtle nest
#

When I confirm my Gmail, it tells me that.
What can I do?

slim sable
#

try asking someone tomorow for more help

#

i've got to go to bed soon sorry

as detailed in the post that says read before posting, this is a issue of web email validation not being finished yet

#

you don't need to verify ur email

#

also you seem to be having nat type erros, do a connection test and tell me the support code

subtle nest
#

NAT errors?
What's that?
Are you referring to the internet connection?

dense hound
# subtle nest

never follow video tutorials btw, they are wrong like 99% of the time

dense hound
#

please do a connection test and tell me the support code in the bottom right

subtle nest
#

This one had a lot of likes and good comments. Also, I'm not an expert on the subject lol

subtle nest
dense hound
#

then open internet settings

#

then tap on your internet connection

#

and press connection test

subtle nest
dense hound
subtle nest
#

I don't think it's my internet connection. I even set my console to "forget network" and reconnected, and it's still the same.
I find like two people to play with, lol.

subtle nest
dense hound
#

nat types are confusing

#

but yours is fine

#

do you get any error codes in any games?

subtle nest
#

No, I don't receive error codes.

dense hound
#

weird

#

there might be nobody online then

subtle nest
#

I don't think it's because of the country I live in that there aren't a lot of people xd

dense hound
#

pretendo probably isn't active rn because it's 6am for me and most of europe

dense hound
#

it's just it's like 2-3am in the us, 6 am in europe

subtle nest
#

i dont know*

dense hound
#

i'll check now

subtle nest
#

thank you 🙁

dense hound
#

checked 2 lobbies

#

try again in a few hours, then people will start waking up

subtle nest
#

Seriously?
Wow! I thought there were more people playing.

Maybe it's my memory of when I was 10, playing this game at 5 in the morning.

subtle nest
#

ok*

dense hound
#

because when you were 10, people were still playing on nintendo network

#

now people have to mod their consoles, and most people play on a switch or switch 2

#

so it's gonna be a bit harder to find players

subtle nest
#

I understand, well...
I guess it works.
Not as I expected, but it works. Thanks for your help uwu

dense hound
#

just try playing in a bit

subtle nest
dense hound
#

if ya need anymore help just ping me

subtle nest
#

What do I do with that?
It says I have to enter the code somewhere, but I don't know where lol

dense hound
#

there's not really a point to verify it

#

it does nothing atm

#

actually wait, I read your message again

#

you do have Nimbus

#

so you should be all sent from what I understand

#

if you're struggling to find players, it may be because there aren't many online; please try checking again later, or use #1070381320607387688 to create rooms via the game's Communities feature
