# 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.
|
||||
You can connect your Wii U to Pretendo using one of 2 methods. Inkay is recommended unless you have some reason to avoid modding your console (e.g. you live in Japan where is is legally gray).
|
||||
|
||||
- [Inkay (homebrew - recommended)](#inkay)
|
||||
- [SSSL (hackless)](#sssl)
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
# Inkay
|
||||
**Pros:**
|
||||
- All services supported
|
||||
- Contains additional features and patches
|
||||
- No ISP related issues
|
||||
- Works regardless of ISP
|
||||
- Easy toggle on and off
|
||||
|
||||
**Cons:**
|
||||
- Requires homebrew
|
||||
- Requires several steps to setup
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="tip">
|
||||
ℹ️ This part of the guide assumes that you have a <b>Homebrewed System</b> using <b>Aroma</b>.
|
||||
You can follow this <a href="https://wiiu.hacks.guide/" target="_blank">guide</a> on how to homebrew your system first, then install

Aroma using <a href="https://wiiu.hacks.guide/#/aroma/getting-started" target="_blank">this guide</a>.

|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Bleeding Edge
|
||||
Bleeding edge builds have not been widely tested, and do not guarantee any stability. Download the latest build from <a href="https://nightly.link/PretendoNetwork/Inkay/workflows/ci/main/inkay" target="_blank">nightly</a>. Extract `inkay.zip`.

|
||||
|
||||
## Nimble
|
||||
Nimble is an Aroma setup module that patches the request for the system `PolicyList`. This is used to enable background tasks for features such as Wara Wara Plaza. This is separate from the main Inkay patches as the `PolicyList` is downloaded earlier in the system boot process than Inkay has control over.
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to [the latest release](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Nimble/releases/latest) on GitHub and download the `30_nimble.rpx` file.

|
||||
## Installation
|

Place the downloaded `Inkay-pretendo.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.

# SSSL

|
|||
**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
|
||||
- Does not work on some ISPs
|
||||
- Hard to switch on or off
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|

## Installation

ℹ️ System Settings, and therefore SSSL, requires a Wii U GamePad to use on unmodified systems.

To disconnect from Pretendo Network either remove the `Primary DNS` address or change back to `Auto-obtain`.
|

Locate the `System Settings` icon on your Wii U Menu and open it.

|
||||
|
||||
For the Secondary DNS, enter `9.9.9.9` (or another public DNS of your choice). This will serve as a fallback if Pretendo's SSSL server should go offline, allowing your console to still access the Internet. If Pretendo is offline and the fallback is used, however, the console will access Nintendo Network rather than Pretendo Network. If this is undesirable to you, leave this field blank.

# PNID Setup
