## Safety
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Back up your MongoDB database!** If you lose it, you will lose all of your
|
|
|
|
|
PNIDs and Juxt posts. If you have a PNID signed in on a Wii U, you will also
|
|
|
|
|
be **stuck with a useless account on your console that you can't delete**
|
|
|
|
|
because deleting an account requires a server to authenticate the password.
|
|
|
|
|
Creating a new account on your server with the same PNID won't work because
|
|
|
|
|
each PNID has a numerical ID that is appended to the end of the password
|
|
|
|
|
before hashing, so your console will not authenticate with the new PNID. Use
|
|
|
|
|
`mongodump`

- **Don't delete the `pretendo-network-*` Docker volumes**. You will permanently
|
|
|
|
|
lose your database (see above) and all of your Pretendo server data.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Don't use the same P/NNID username on multiple servers.** This applies to
|
|
|
|
|
NNIDs and PNIDs on the official Pretendo Network server.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Always verify that you are actually connecting to your own server.** The
|
|
|

easiest way is to check the mitmproxy logs to see if you are getting the

expected HTTP requests.

### Web
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Start a web browser using `127.0.0.1:8080` as a proxy server. For example,
|
|
|
|
|
use `chrome.exe --proxy-server="127.0.0.1:8080"` or the Firefox network
|
|
|
|
|
settings page.
|
|
|
|
|
- I don't recommend using the same browser as the one you use for normal web
|
|
|
|
|
browsing because you will get a lot of irrelevant noise in the mitmproxy
|
|
|
|
|
logs. Consider downloading
|
|
|
|
|
[Chrome Beta](https://www.google.com/chrome/beta/) or
|
|
|
|
|
[Firefox Beta](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/) to
|
|
|
|
|
have an isolated browser for this.
|
|
|
|
|
- If you don't want to deal with the security warnings on every page from
|
|
|
|
|
being MITMed, go to <http://mitm.it> in your proxied browser and follow the
|
|
|
|
|
instructions there to trust the mitmproxy certificate. This is secure
|
|
|
|
|
because mitmproxy generates a random certificate on first run, so nobody
|
|
|
|
|
else could MITM your traffic except you.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Open <https://pretendo.network/account> in your proxied browser. **Make sure
|
|
|
|
|
that there is a big red banner stating "This is an unofficial Pretendo
|
|
|
|
|
Network server!"** If there is not, your proxy settings did not apply
|
|
|
|
|
correctly. Also, check <http://127.0.0.1:8081> to make sure your HTTP
|
|
|
|
|
requests are being sent to mitmproxy. Then, once you have verified this, sign
|
|
|
|
|
up for an account there, just as you would on the official Pretendo Network
|
|
|
|
|
servers (by the way, you don't need to do the captcha, it's disabled).
|
|
|
|
|
3. You can visit <https://juxt.pretendo.network> in your proxied browser to view
|
|
|
|
|
Juxt posts.

#### Changing which server you are connected to (Web)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- To connect to your selfhosted Pretendo server, create a shortcut to your web
|
|
|
|
|
browser with the proxy settings and use that to open the Pretendo Network
|
|
|
|
|
website.
|
|
|
|
|
- To connect to the official Pretendo servers, use your regular web browser
|
|
|
|
|
without the proxy settings.

|
|
|
|
|
[official Pretendo Network installation guide](https://pretendo.network/docs/install/wiiu)
|
|
|
|
|
to install the patches. At this point, you should be connected to the
|
|
|
|
|
official Pretendo Network servers. **You may create a new PNID on the
|
|
|
|
|
official servers now if you wish.** If you do so, come back to this guide
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
IP address and the port to 8080) => Confirm => Don't Use Authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Save the settings and go back to the Home Menu. Check your mitmproxy logs at
|
|
|
|
|
<http://127.0.0.1:8081> to verify that the console is sending HTTP requests
|
|
|
|
|
through your proxy.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Start a FTPiiU server on your console and run
|
|
|
|
|
`./scripts/compile-custom-inkay.sh` to compile a custom version of the Inkay
|
|
|
|
|
patches that uses your own mitmproxy certificate.
|
|
|
|
|
- If you didn't set a Wii U IP address when running the setup script, you
|
|
|

|
|
|
`repos/Inkay/Inkay-pretendo.wps` to your console at
|
|
|
|
|
`/fs/vol/external01/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins/`, replacing the

1. Follow the
|
|
|
|
|
[official Pretendo Network guide](https://pretendo.network/docs/install/cemu).
|
|
|
|
|
- This currently requires using a real Wii U console with your selfhosted
|
|
|
|
|
PNID signed in. It may be possible to patch out the legitimate device
|
|
|
|
|
checks from the account server, but this is not currently a priority.
|
|
|
|
|
- Use Dumpling to dump the online files for your selfhosted PNID from your
|
|
|
|
|
Wii U. If you are using multiple accounts, make sure to disable the "Merge
|
|
|
|
|
Account To Default Cemu User" setting.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Use Dumpling to dump your system applications. Make sure to at least dump the
|
|
|
|
|
Friend List applet, but you might as well dump them all.
|
|
|
|
|
- Note: You can run the Miiverse applet by manually dumping it from your Wii
|
|
|
|
|
U with FTPiiU (as it is not currently listed in Dumpling). However, this
|
|
|
|
|
just crashes Cemu because it currently does not support Miiverse features.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Open the `settings.xml` file in your Cemu data directory and set the
|
|
|
|
|
`<proxy_server>` value to `http://127.0.0.1:8080`.

|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Follow the
|
|
|
|
|
[official Pretendo Network installation guide](https://pretendo.network/docs/install/3ds)
|
|
|
|
|
to install the patches. At this point, you should be connected to the
|
|
|
|
|
official Pretendo Network servers. Linking your official PNID in System
|
|
|
|
|
Settings is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Open System Settings => Internet Settings => Connection Settings => (Your
|
|
|
|
|
current connection) => Change Settings.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Go to Proxy Settings => Yes => Detailed Setup => (Set the proxy server to
|
|
|
|
|
your server's IP address and the port to 8080) => OK => Don't Use
|
|
|
|
|
Authentication.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Save the settings and go back to the Home Menu. Check your mitmproxy logs at
|
|
|
|
|
<http://127.0.0.1:8081> to verify that the console is sending HTTP requests
|
|
|
|
|
through your proxy.
|
|
|
|
|
- If you open the Friends List now, you might get a message that "This
|
|
|
|
|
device's access to online services has been restricted by Nintendo." **Your
|
|
|
|
|
3DS is not banned. This is expected.** The console is trying to log into
|
|
|
|
|
your local Pretendo server using a NEX account that doesn't exist in the
|
|
|
|
|
server's database because it already created that NEX account on the
|
|
|
|
|
official servers.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Start ftpd on your console and run `./scripts/upload-3ds-files.sh` to upload
|
|
|
|
|
the required files to your console.
|
|
|
|
|
6. **This is the potentially dangerous part that modifies your CTRNAND.** As the
|
|
|
|
|
official Pretendo docs explain, Nimbus works by setting up a second Friends
|
|
|
|
|
account using a test environment instead of prod. On the first run, it
|
|
|
|
|
creates this account, and on subsequent runs, it switches to the
|
|
|
|
|
already-existing test account. Unfortunately, you cannot create a third test
|
|
|
|
|
account, but what you _can_ do is back up the save data for the Friends and
|
|
|
|
|
account system modules and then reset the test account.
|
|
|
|
|
[Trace](https://github.com/TraceEntertains) (`traceentertains` on Discord)
|
|
|
|
|
created a modified version of Nimbus that resets the Friends test
|
|
|
|
|
environment, and I created a GodMode9 script to automate save backups and
|
|
|
|
|
switching save slots for the system modules.

|
|
|
|
|
1. Reboot into GodMode9 and open the scripts menu.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Run the `FriendsAccountSwitcher` script and select "Create a new save
|
|
|
|
|
slot". Name the slot something descriptive like `pretendo_official`.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Reboot into the Home Menu and open the Homebrew Launcher. From there, run
|
|
|
|
|
the `ResetFriendsTestAccount.3dsx` app and press A when a white line
|
|
|
|
|
appears at the top of the screen (the Nimbus GUI was removed).
|
|
|
|
|
4. Open the Friend List applet. You should be "online" and have a new friend
|
|
|
|
|
code that is different from your friend code on the official servers.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Run the `FriendsAccountSwitcher` script and select "Create a new save slot". Name the slot something descriptive
|
|
|
|
|
like `pretendo_official`.

|
|
|
|
|
7. You now have multiple test Friends accounts saved on your SD card at
|
|
|
|
|
`sd:/gm9/out/friends_accounts/`. You can switch between them by running
|
|
|
|
|
the `FriendsAccountSwitcher` script, selecting "Create a new save slot",
|
|
|
|
|
and following the instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
- Pay careful attention to the script's instructions. When loading a save
|
|
|
|
|
slot, it will first save the current Friends and account system modules
|
|
|
|
|
save data to the last-used save slot. Create a new slot if you don't
|
|
|
|
|
want to overwrite your existing save data.
|
|
|
|
|
7. Open System Settings using your `local_server` Friends test account and
|
|
|
|
|
create a new PNID or sign in to one you created on your Wii U or website.
|
|
|
|
|
6. Run the `FriendsAccountSwitcher` script and select "Create a new save slot" again. Name the slot something
|
|
|
|
|
descriptive like `local_server`.
|
|
|
|
|
7. You now have multiple test Friends accounts saved on your SD card at `sd:/gm9/out/friends_accounts/`. You can
