Tutorial Chaldron's MAC Cycler for Windows

[Max89]

what happen if another person use the same address while i'm in?

Hmm, I just can't get this to work properly. I am 100% sure I have my network set up fine. As soon as I load up HomePass v5 (MAX) and enter the time duration for macs, the CMD just gets stuck on the resetting adapter text. I go see my network connections window and I see the Wi-Fi and attwifi disabled and i'm unable to turn them on again without rebooting my PC. What to do? Just in case this helps, I'm running Windows 8 Pro with a Netgear WG111v3.

I have this same exact problem, even with the MACycle 1.20 except I have Netgear WNDR3400v1

They will get the streetpass data from the last person to use the mac address before them as per normal

Sorry pal, I can only tell you what I do:

1. run "cmd" as admin, and type: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=attwifi key="whatever you want"
2. in your laptop's network connections, make sure your main wifi adapter (not the wifi miniport..., the real one) has enabled, in its properties, the "shared use" (or something similar) option.
3. run macycler and that's it.

I have followed the instructions. The nintendo Zone is enable and internet conection works. Wifi miniport is enable and works ssid=attwifi. Settings are correct. Only maccycle dosen´t change my mac. If i manually change the mac adress, wifi connetion will be a few seconds disable, than reconnect. I start hostednetwork and than i get streetpass. I don´t no what else i can tune.

Run the debug version of the mac cycler program and see what errors you get when it tries to change the mac address

 

[spoon79]

it works now wrong driver.it´s able to put new mac adresses into the cycler?

 

[darren42]

No you can't enter new mac addresses into the program.

Though if you download the batch file containing the source code, then you can edit the code to add in new mac address.

Following these instructions I reach a point where my 3DS can successfully connect to the attwifi hotspot (System > Connection Test is ok) but while running the script, the BSSID stays the same.

Manually using macshift on my physical wireless adapter has the same result; the physical adapter changes MAC address, but not the associated virtual network.

Am I doing something wrong?

Do you get StreetPassses?

It's supposed to change the MAC of the Wi-Fi adaptor, that's how it works.

No, none. The Virtual adapter's MAC address is supposed to mimic the physical adapter's, right?
Because I can change the physical adapter's MAC address ("Wi-Fi"), but the change is not propagated to the virtual one (which hosts "attwifi").

EDIT : Solved by using a USB wifi adapter. Thank you for the assistance!

Soo.. Wasn't it supposed to be 4e instead of 6e at the beginning?

It worked, but isn't it supposed to be another mac address?

I think that maybe I am streetpassing everyone who got it wrong too xD

 

[darren42]

Looks like you are being affected by the offset problem that a number of other people have experienced. I've seen people with offsets of "0E", "2E" and "3E" when they try to spoof the mac addresses begining with "4E".

The problem appears to be hardware related. You should still be able to get streetpass hits from people affected by the same error, but the pool of people that you can get a streetpass hit from will be small.

Today I used this guide on my laptop and worked great! Now I am trying to work it on my PC... Everything seems to be connected but not getting any street passes. My PC uses ethernet but it prefers to connect over WiFi first, how can I change this? :/ Does it matter? I don't know how to fix it I am not a pro on PC technology.

Hello there. I decided to post here because I tried use the program. I'm not computer wise, but I noticed one major problem. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and I don't have commands specified here.
"The following command was not found" is the text I get whenever I put the commands. Me and my friend experimented a little bit but we gave up.
I could not find anything Windows Vista homepass tutorial. Is it possible to use Mac Cycler in some way? Or should I give up and start looking for different solutions/programs/downloads?

Okay, as you might see on an older page, I've been saying it won't work no matter what method I use that I've found on the forums.
Today I decided to try again on my new computer and I got it to work on both of my 3DSs. Got about 40 hits on the Mii Plaza and every one of my games got a hit every time even if the Mii I got had the game or not.

My guess is that my problem before (and still would be as I still own the old laptop) is that the card on my other laptop is not compatible with any method.

Can honestly say, awesome job Chaldron. Got a lot of puzzle pieces today because of you and maxed out my Kid Icarus boxes.

I've now got a working HomePass (though changing Mac Address doesn't let me suddenly connect to another zone.. I still have to wait 8 hours...why?) using a dual-wireless Windows 7. Yay!

But my question is...

I have a Japanese version 3DS, and have been wanting to find out about the McDonalds and ANAでDS puzzles.
Can I StreetPass to get them, like I did almost every other puzzle (provided the system is fully up to date)?

Most puzzles have come in sets, and so long as you have the system up to date, you get a new puzzle mainly by streetpassing someone who has at least one piece of that puzzle then getting it.

So, can I get these two? Or was the first piece only ever available from the local wireless events they were given at? (I don't need hearsay, or suspicions, I already have that. I just need the yes/no answer from someone else who also has a Japanese system and knows the answer)

for that 2 puzzle, you will have to directly download the first puzzle from them before you can get the rest from the others or buy complete it from coins you have
to put it simply is : NO

Are you sure? Where did you find that, I'd just like to verify (the thought of never getting them is despairing...)
