Misc Nintendo Zone Creator for Windows 7

[JaronMatthewHigg]

Today, I am announcing that I am making a Nintendo Zone Creator using the Windows 7's secret and special code. It is currently a batch file, but when it is ready to be shared with the world, I will create it in .exe format for Windows 7 only. According to this website I found on Google (http://www.neowin.ne...-a-wifi-hotspot), an administrator-only command line was revealed. Using this command line, I managed to create my own tool that turns any Windows 7 PC into your very own Nintendo Zone for your 3DS. Here are the results of the project so far:
*Nintendo Zone is detectable by the 3DS system and appears on the HOME menu
*Nintendo Zone can't be recognized by the Nintendo Zone 3DS software

The result in red is a big problem. If it isn't fixed, the project will not be finished until a solution is found.

If anyone has a solution to the result in red, PM me or leave me a comment below. Your help is very important so I can release this to every one.

This project can be in basic or GUI form. I could try the GUI form. This part is up to you.

I will appreciate your help.

EDIT: Seems that the code can only share your ethernet connection to Wi-Fi. You can't do Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi, according to Connectify.

using your wireless router, change the SSID to "attwifi".

BAMB, you have a Nintendo zone.

Yep, an SSID change. That's it. No

...Whatever the fuck that is.

It also has to be on channel 1 (if what I read is accurate).

No. It is a computer program. The computer is hosting attwifi. Here is the code I use to create the virtual router:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=attwifi

netsh wlan start hostednetwork
(the website said ssid= key=, but I didn't use that to avoid access point encryption)

P.S, to everyone who thinks I am using a router, have you read the post I made, or did you just skip to the comments section?

Okay, but what he is saying is that we can just change our own SSID on our routers and achieve the same thing, and it works 100%...

NOOOO... he said we can just change our own SSID on our routers and achieve the same thing, DUH!!! It's a computer program for people who don't actually HAVE routers. Thank you very much.

It also requires a win7 pc that has a compatible wireless card... one that can make access points. If they have that, they can use Connectify to make an attwifi access point.

That's a problem. Connectify does have unencrypted Wi-Fi, but the problem is the program will only let you name the access point Connectify-attwifi.

Ah, I apologize then. I did not know they force their name onto it. :/

It's okay, I tried it once, and I was so freakin' disappointed, too. And I heard Connectify uses the same code I am using to create this, so it's a waste of time now. I'm starting to feel the same way about this project. Hey quick question, do you think Connectify will find out and get mad if I called this Nintendoify?

Anyone manage to get the Japanese Nintendo Network to connect?
US ones works fine but JPN ones doesn't seem to work at all....

ummm.... come in?

 

[pokefloote]

Well there are third party (not exactly sure if that's the way of describing it) apps for windows that create APs with whatever name you want. Usually programs that come with usb dongles and such. I can't remember what any of them were called, unfortunately...

Nintendoify doesn't roll off the tongue like connectify does, haha.

 

[chemistryfreak]

US Nintendo Zone uses SSID such as attwifi whereas JPN Nintendo Zone uses wifine, FREESPOT and etc...
I manage to simulate US Nintendo Zone by setting attwifi as my AP SSID but using all the JPN SSID...none of it work....

First of all, Nintendo Zone is ALWAYS available in the home screen menu. Once you open it if it isn't connecting then you haven't setup the wireless network exactly the way it needs it to be.

Check if the attwifi network is being detected by other devices. Also check if the 3DS is connected to the attwifi network and if you can access the internet.

You might also have to specify the type of encryption for the network to use in the netsh command. Change the batch script to specify encryption as WEP. I can't think of anything else that might be wrong.

I wouldn't do anything about encryption, because the attwifi networks are not encrypted, so I will leave that alone. But my 3DS detects it but doesn't connect. I may try again.

"netsh wlan set hostednetwork" is always encrypted with WPA2.
