I'm wondering about this as well (especially the "Streetpassing with yourself" part). I guess the hotspot has to.... Well, honestly I don't know how that would even work. I doubt the hotspots run a small server thing but they could connect to, for example, some relay server which stores all the Streetpass data for each hotspot. That could/would make it harder to do with a Nintendo Home Zone.. (I'd love to be proven wrong tho)

The update note says that it's not posible to configure a "normal" router to do the Streetpass relay... but I wonder if someone is able to do a "software" to do it, maybe this will be the portal we needed to unlock the "streetpass tunel" theory.

Pretty sure relaying require special software, so it might take a while. But then, if someone figured out how (by researching the streetpass signal), we probably don't even need NZone.

Even we can have an streetpass tunnel, that would be possible if the relay thing is actually a "file" stored in some sort of hardware.

Sometimes, I really wonder how the NZone router looks like. Can't someone slip it out like the dev units ?

its a shame we can't take advantage of our routers to get the miis i don't have any nintendo zones in my area whatsoever so my situation will not change even though nintendo is trying to improve the streetpass service its not enough, they should have increased the number of nintendo zones in the south east but ah well what can you do :( just wait for a streetpass hack thats what i can do lol

If a streetpass relay server could be made by users, then you could possibly create an internet streetpass relay server that can take streetpass data from every 3DS, and store it in a centralized, homebrew server, and with it you can then download streetpass data from as many people you want, without even leaving your home, and get the streetpass data from people around the world.

If such a thing existed who would pay to host this server in theory? Its a nice idea but too consuming in both time and resources.

I doubt it.
No one figured out how to the DS work with a program such as XLINK Kai due to how the DS sent packets.

So unless someone figures out how NiFi's (Nintendo WiFi) protocol to work don't expect this to happen.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
