# Wii U
You can connect your Wii U to Pretendo using one of 2 methods. Each method has benefits and drawbacks, which will be described in their respective sections.
- [SSSL (hackless)](#sssl)
- [Inkay (homebrew)](#inkay)
Once you have selected a connection method and set up your Wii U, see ["PNID Setup"](#pnid-setup).
If you have save data from a Nintendo Network ID you would like to move to your Pretendo Network ID, follow [this](#transferring-save-data-to-your-pretendo-network-account) section.
# SSSL
**Pros:**
- Does not require homebrew
- Very easy to setup
**Cons:**
- Only a subset of services are supported
- Lacks additional features and patches
- May not function under certain ISP related conditions (self-hosted DNS tool is in development)
- Requires changing network settings to disconnect
SSSL is a (limited) hackless method of accessing most services by exploiting a bug in the Wii U's SSL module. All Nintendo Network games produced by Nintendo are supported by SSSL, as are the ***in-game*** Miiverse features. The main Miiverse app, in-game ***posting*** app, and any game which uses its own SSL stack (YouTube, WATCH_DOGS, etc.), are ***NOT*** supported by this method, as they are unaffected by the SSL exploit.
To connect using SSSL, open `System Settings > Internet > Connect to the Internet`. Open the settings for your network connection and open `DNS`. Select `Don't Auto-obtain`. Enter `88.198.140.154` as the `Primary DNS`. Enter another public DNS server address as the `Secondary DNS`, such as `8.8.8.8` (Google Public DNS) or `1.1.1.1` (Cloudflare-DNS). You should now be able to setup and login to your Pretendo Network ID as normal.
To disconnect from Pretendo Network either remove the `Primary DNS` address or change back to `Auto-obtain`.
# Inkay
**Pros:**
- All services supported
- Contains additional features and patches
- No ISP related issues
- Easy toggle on and off
**Cons:**
- Requires homebrew
- Requires several steps to setup

# RCE Patches
~~Unfortunately, some of Pretendo's supported games have major security and safety problems. While Nintendo fixed these
games on the 3DS, thus far they have neglected the Wii U. Pretendo has a patcher which attempts to fix these problems -
this is **essential** to play online safely, whether on Pretendo Network or Nintendo Network.~~
This is no longer true, as Nintendo has issued updates to all affected games fixing all known issues. These docs will remain up, however, in the event that any future bugs/exploits are found and require patches
<div class="tip">
⚠️ <b>Don't skip this step!</b>
</div>
To install the fix, navigate to the
[latest release of the RCE patcher](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/rce_patches/releases/latest) on GitHub and
download the `rce_patches.wps` file.

Place the downloaded `rce_patches.wps` file on your SD card at `sd:/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins`. It's normal for other Aroma plugins to be in this folder too.

# Connecting to Pretendo

To connect to Pretendo Network you must use the [Inkay](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Inkay) plugin with Aroma.

The stable build is recommended for most users, however beta testers and others may be interested in the bleeding edge build.
## Stable
The stable builds have been widely tested to ensure everything works as intended. Navigate to [Inkay's latest release](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Inkay/releases/latest) on GitHub and download the `Inkay-pretendo.wps` file from the latest release.

# PNID Setup
After installing Pretendo, you will need to create a PNID to use our services. There is currently two ways of creating a PNID, by creating an account with the website and linking it or creating it on your Wii U.
### PNID Setup - Website
You will want to register an account from [here](/account) and click `Don't have an account?` to register.
<img src="/assets/images/docs/install/wiiu/pnid/register-account-web.png" width="100%">
Right before registering a PNID, please make sure to save your password on some sort of note. This isn't necessary, but it prevents having to reset your password if you forget it. After registering just simply change your birth date, gender, timezone, country/region, etc to what you see fit. Once you have it set up we can switch back to the Wii U. Within your Wii U you will want to reconnect to Pretendo.
_**Note:** How you reconnect to Pretendo depends on how you installed it on your Wii U!_
Once you are reconnected, you will want to press the top left profile icon and press `Switch Account`, then press `Add New User`. Go through the user set up normally, but when it asks if you have an account, press `Yes` and put in your username and password. If it asks you to confirm your email afterwards, simply skip it. You will now be able to use Pretendo servers.
### PNID Setup - Wii U
Right before registering a PNID, please make sure to save your password on some sort of note. This isn't necessary, but it prevents having to reset your password if you forget it. You will want to go on you Wii U while Pretendo is still active and press the top left profile icon. After pressing the icon, press `Switch Account`, and then `Add New User`. Set up this account as normal, but once it asks if you have an account, press `No` and go through the account process normally. When it asks you again to link after adding a Mii, press `Link`. Choose your language and then accept the Pretendo Network Service Agreement.
<img src="/assets/images/docs/install/wiiu/pnid/pretendo-eula.jpg" width="100%">
Finally, set up your PNID, email and password. Once all of this is done, you will be able to use Pretendo servers.

# PNID Setup
After installing Pretendo, you must register a Pretendo Network ID (PNID). There is currently two ways of creating a PNID: Creating an account with the website and linking it, or creating it on your Wii U.

<strong>CAUTION:</strong>
A Pretendo Network ID may not use the same username as an account already linked to your Wii U! If you have any existing Nintendo Network IDs on your Wii U which share the username you wish to use, those accounts MUST be removed from your console first.
