You can get a 3DS onto Pretendo Network in 5 easy steps:
1. [Downloading Nimbus](#downloading-nimbus-to-your-sd-card)
The following steps are required for you to connect to the Pretendo Network:
1. [Downloading Nimbus](#downloading-nimbus)
2. [Enabling Luma patches](#luma-patches)
3. [Installing Nimbus to HOME Menu](#installing-nimbus-app-to-home-menu)
4. [Using Nimbus](#using-nimbus)
5. [Signing into Pretendo](#signing-into-your-pnid)
3. [Using Nimbus](#using-nimbus)
## Downloading Nimbus to your SD card
## Downloading Nimbus
Before you start, make sure your 3DS is turned off, and insert the SD card that you use for your Nintendo 3DS into your computer.
Before you start, power off your console and insert its SD card into your computer.
Once you've done that, navigate to the [releases](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Nimbus) page on the Nimbus GitHub repository.
Once inserted, download the latest [Nimbus release](https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Nimbus/releases/latest).

There's a few different ways to use Nimbus, but for the best experience, download the `combined.[version].zip` file onto your computer. This file allows you to launch Nimbus both from your HOME Menu and the Homebrew Launcher. The other two files only do one or the other.
Nimbus is available as both a 3DSX app and an installable CIA. The releases page offers downloads for both. Select the version you would like to use, or select the `combined.[version].zip` archive to use both.

Extract the contents of the zip file you just downloaded and copy all of the contents of the zip file to the root of your SD card. If your computer asks you, merge files.
Extract the contents of the zip archive to the root of your SD card. If you are asked to merge or overwrite files, accept the changes.
You should now have the `0004013000002F02`, `0004013000003202`, and `0004013000003802` Luma patches along with the `nimbus.3dsx` and `nimbus.cia` homebrew.

Place your SD card back into your console.
## Luma patches
We make use of 3 Luma patches to connect your console to Pretendo:
1) `0004013000002F02` - SSL system module. This patch disables SSL verification, allowing your console to establish an SSL connection with our servers
2) `0004013000003202` - Friends system module. This patch replaces the `https://nasc.nintendowifi.net` URL with our servers URL
3) `0004013000003802` - act system module. This patch replaces the `https://account.nintendo.net/v1/api/` URL with our servers URL

ℹ️ <b>Skip this step if Luma patches are already enabled on your console.</b>
ℹ️ <b>Skip this step if you've already enabled the required patches on your console for Pretendo Network.</b>
</div>
In order to make use of the patches listed above, you will need to enable Luma patches on your console. Hold the SELECT button on your 3DS and power it on.
In order to make use of the Pretendo Network service, you will need to enable Luma patches on your console. Hold the `SELECT` button on your 3DS and power it on.
You should be greeted to a black screen with a few tickboxes. You'll need to tick 'enable loading external FIRMS and modules' and 'enable game patching' to ensure Pretendo works correctly. After that, press START on your console to save and boot into your 3DS.
On the screen that is displayed, make sure that these following options are enabled:
## Installing Nimbus app to HOME Menu
* `Enable loading external FIRMS and modules`
* `Enable game patching`
Press `START` to save and continue with these changes.
## Installing Nimbus to HOME Menu
<div class="tip">
ℹ️ <b>Skip this step if you downloaded the 3dsx only zip file.</b>
</div>
If you downloaded the combined or cia zip files, you can install the Nimbus application to the HOME Menu for quick and easy access. Here's how to do that.
If you downloaded the combined or cia archives, you can install Nimbus to the HOME Menu for quick and easy access.
First of all, open up the FBI application on your 3DS HOME Menu. Once it is loaded, click on SD and then click on cias. Next, locate `nimbus.cia` and click on it. In the menu that appears, press the install and delete CIA button. This installs the application to your HOME Menu.
Open FBI. If you do not have FBI, download the latest release from [GitHub](https://github.com/Steveice10/FBI/releases/latest). Select `SD`, then `cias`. Find and select `nimbus.cia`. Select either `Install CIA` or `Install and delete CIA`.
Once it has finished installing, press the HOME button and exit FBI. You should see a message that a new application has been added to the HOME Menu. Click OK and you'll now have Nimbus on your HOME Menu for easy access.
Once it has finished installing, press the HOME button and exit FBI. You should see a message that a new application has been added to the HOME Menu. Click OK and you'll now have Nimbus on your HOME Menu.
## Using Nimbus
To use Pretendo servers instead on Nintendo's servers, you'll need to open up Nimbus. If you followed the previous step, you can find it on your HOME Menu, or you can also find it in the Homebrew Launcher. Once inside Nimbus, click on Pretendo to switch to your Pretendo profile.
Depending on how you installed Nimbus, launch it either through the Homebrew Launcher or the 3DS HOME Menu. Select either `Pretendo` or `Nintendo` to swap between services.
You can also repeat the same steps to go back to the Nintendo profile if you want to use Nintendo's servers.
Your active profile persists between reboots, so there's no need to open up Nimbus to switch to Pretendo (or to Nintendo) every time you turn on your 3DS.
Your selection persists between reboots.
## Signing into your PNID
Once inside the Pretendo profile, you'll need to sign into your Pretendo Network ID to fully enjoy Pretendo. If you haven't already, [create a Pretendo account](/account) on your computer or phone.
To fully enjoy Pretendo Network, you'll need to sign into your PNID. It's not required for most things, but it's worth doing in case you need it in the future. If you haven't already, please [create a Pretendo account](/account) on your computer or phone before following the rest of the guide.
On your 3DS, open up System Settings and tap on Nintendo Network ID Settings. It'll take a while to load, but once you do, follow along until the part where you get asked whether you want to link your account. Select `Yes` and use the credentials you used to create your Pretendo account. Once you've done that, continue normally and you should be all set up.
