Set up Pretendo for a Cemu and Wii U user

[hushed rose]

My friend has Cemu but no Wii U and I have a Wii U but no Cemu. Is there a way for him to use a Pretendo account on Cemu without dumping a Wii U and withOUT me sharing any dumps

By the way I wanna do this without breaking any rules

We cannot recommend that you do this, because we do issue console bans for repeat offenders, meaning that if one of you gets a console ban, both of you are banned and won't be able to use that Wii U's online files to play online

Another concern as to sharing console-uniques with friends is that there's a high likelihood that your friend does not own the games they wish to play and have dumps of them to use in Cemu, violating rule 5
This applies even if they own the game physically or on their NNID but download a copy off the Internet via an 'alternative source' or if you dump your copy and share it with them, that would still fall under piracy

The third and last concern that I can think of is if your friend leaks your console-uniques, if a malicious player downloads those uniques and manage to get online on Pretendo Network with them, they can get you and your friend banned via console ban

TL;DR, we just don't recommend you share console-uniques with people for concerns of console-bans and piracy, it's best to keep your console-uniques to yourself

I said we wanna do this withOUT me sharing any dumps

No, you must own a Wii U to play online on Cemu

And you must have a Wii U to dump games at all, so without a Wii U there's no game dumps

It wasn't a Cemu decision, it's just how Nintendo and Pretendo Network work

[hushed rose]

Cos some of us wanna play online without an official console that's why I said it

But if they did that, they'd be enabling piracy, which is what the emulation and homebrew community wish to not enable
