Accessing Nintendo Video on UK/US 3DS (Simple)

Hey guys.. The DNS spoofing thing didnt work on my computer so I found an easier way to access Nintendo Video on my 3DS.

You will need:
1) A 3DS
2) Nintendo Video Application
3) Built-in Wifi on your PC/Laptop OR one of those wifi dongle devices
4) Windows 7 OR For WinXP:Software from your wifi device manufacturer that allows you to make your Wifi device into a router (SoftAP)
5) Tunnelbear

I dont have Win7 so this might require a little trial and error on your part. I tried this on WinXP

Download Tunnelbear and create an account. Tunnelbear allows you to hide your location and make websites think you are actually in the US or the UK.

When installing Tunnelbear on XP, a system dialog will popup asking you if you wish to continue with the installation. Press continue.

After installing Tunnelbear, you will have two new network connections in your Network Connections folder. One is for the UK, the other for US. You will soon find out which is which so don't worry about that.



This is what you will see when Tunnelbear is open. Flick the right hand switch to where your DS is from and flick the left hand switch to turn on Tunnelbear.



This is how it would look like if your using a US 3DS. When Tunnelbear connects, one of the network connections that was installed will automatically connect.

Now all you have to do is active the SoftAP option on your Wifi device and instead of sharing your internet connection, point it to the tunnelbear network connection.

Viola! Now connect with your 3DS and switch on the video application. It will connect and believe that it is in the US/UK.

Remember that Tunnelbear only gives you 500mb free per month. So if you want to use it again then switch off Tunnelbear after you have done downloading the videos.

This might sound a little confusing but I tried my best to explain

Would this work with connectify?
I'll try it out...

Thanks going to try it out now~

OMG!!! it works!!! Thanks so much for this!
100% Works when i use my laptop USB router.

Also tried connectify, somehow it doesn't work.

@Chemistryfreak: Yay for me

@mezut360: I suppose it would work... but i havent used connectify so i cant say for sure

And it dosent work for me, maybe it because im from Australia?

It doesnt really matter which country your in because Tunnelbear fools the website into believing your in the US/UK. Im in Pakistan and I've used Hulu, Netflix and Nintendo Video.. all website that lock content to only US internet users.

please explain about it.how can i active softap and point ... . sorry i'm amature

@Hajoo: Well if your wifi device has some proprietary software running in the taskbar, try rightclicking on it to see if you have a softap option. The best way is to go to the device manufacturers website and see if they have their own proprietary softap software

So does this mean that you don't have to download the files to the computer first?

Yes. You just have to install TunnelBear, set-up a wireless AP in your PC using a USB router and hook-up your 3DS to it and u can start downloading the videos~

I can't access/use/activate/open/whatever the SoftAP thing on the first post. I'm using a router.

if i'm right about this, this particular solution requires that your 3DS connect to the computer, and not the router. because the tunneller application (Tunnelbear) runs off of your computer, and it makes specific settings that enable you to connect to the Nintendo servers. your router connects directly to the internet with its own settings, so you can't use it.

if therey's anybody who knows better, feel free to correct me.

EDIT: i must say, this method is definitely much easier, removing the necessity to download and serve videos yourself, although that option is still very viable if you wanna distribute videos locally.

I tried this tutorial because the other one didn't work for me, did everything right, but when i try to connect to the acces point, it fails, i think it's something on my 3DS, because i tried connecting with my cellphone and it was fine. What can i do?

So if I'm using an USB adapter with zydas, I should select "teredo tunelling pseudo-interface" as a brige adapter or what? I didn't understand how to configure it with tunnelbear

Please, help me someone XD. I didn't understand this part: "Now all you have to do is active the SoftAP option on your Wifi device and instead of sharing your internet connection, point it to the tunnelbear network connection."
