bump. :p
By the way, I still haven't forgotten about this. I haven't done a ton of testing and research into exactly how it works (and how to, say, copy a file and simulate a SpotPass tag), but I have still been collecting random old SpotPass data from my several 3DS consoles and it'll all be...
Okay, my SDK Version before updating was 2.12.12 Build 67129 (or just 2.12.12)
I talked to Maschell, they told me to install only os_v10_ndebug from the latest release of the Cafe SDK (which is 2.13.01, as of writing at least). I will be taking a few extra steps to ensure these files are...
Ooooh neat! I will absolutely look into this.
Oh wow, I don't know if this creates the same sort of files we are dumping, but it appears to intercept the server requests and distribute custom SpotPass data! Very cool. I won't look into this much, because I'm not much of a coder... But it's...
I may have a very small handful more stuff to archive. At the moment nothing big, but I may be able to get my hands on my friend's 3DS consoles to see what there is to dump on them.

And there you go!
By the way this is all USA stuff. Included in this archive is some potentially major data for Animal Crossing New Leaf, Tomodachi Life, and StreetPass Mii Plaza. There is also more minor data for Fire Emblem Fates, Mario Kart 7...
Oh also, I believe Pokemon Art Academy has SpotPass functionality, but maybe only for sharing player-made artwork. Not entirely sure.
Anyway, yeah I was able to freshly hack a 3DS with relative ease but it required a bit of patience. I'll upload and archive what I have some time in the next few...
I have already dumped what I could from my main console.
I'll hold off on uploading stuff until I hack one or two more consoles to dump their data for mainly Tomodachi Life and not much else.
I actually don't have much myself. Some Smash Bros. data or something, Fire Emblem Fates, a bit of...
Here's a comprehensive list of SpotPass games' details that aren't yet mentioned in the first post...
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Allowed users to download gift items, and some special Nintendo staff houses could appear in the Happy Home Showcase

OMG I thought the gamepad was 720p, but it's only 854x480! Well then it's no wonder that Wii and GameCube games look passable on it. There's a chance it's being upscaled and then downscaled again though, which is a little icky.
Oh yeah and before I forget...

These were the cheapest alternatives I found on Amazon, and I can actually confirm that...
For my main purpose, I'm using a build from February 2018 (it's actually in the first post I think). That's from before you started converting previously TARGA games to JPEG, which broke colors really bad for some games (but naturally got a good performance boost).
Also, from my testing just...
So it does plug into just a USB port on the Wii U, huh. I'll work on getting cables then.
Edit: And I know it's not as simple as some plugs that match up. But I'm willing to throw caution to the wind to maybe save some money and learn something.
Yeah... I dunno, it's just my personal preference I guess. And I like playing with debug and experimental software. My programmer friends and I might actually work on a fork of Snickerstream that supports TARGA, if anything does or doesn't come of that I'll let you all know.
Edit: Also the...
I feel like it's hard for me to get a pixel-perfect screen capture for use in OBS. Do you have any advice?
Also, my use-case is trying to record the 3DS Virtual Console game Pokemon Yellow. I decided to say screw it and try NTR CFW, but it also has issues with colors.
NTR:

although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
