Misc Has anyone attempted to abuse the Nintendo Zone streetpass relay?

Maybe we should have a MAC exchange thread.
Btw how do I change MAC on my android phone.

It's best to have a single MAC to work from, instead of many. A single MAC that multiple connect to will allow for more variety of StreetPasses. And probably best to be using a "made up" MAC address instead of a specific router address. The primary MAC being passed around is working for streetpassing currently - but we need more 3DS owners to get on it (after config'ing for it)

To change MAC on Android phone, you have to ROOT your phone, install a custom Rom most likely (i.e. Cyanogen) and then install a WiFi Tether mod that lets you "spoof" or change your MAC address (aka Physical address).

It's not so much a tunnel but basically we're spoofing a Nintendo Zone Relay Station. If it was tunnel we could exchange 1:1 but it's more of I get the previous person's Streetpass data from our "relay point" then the next person gets mine.

Still not getting it to work, even though I'm connected to a Nintendo Zone. Maybe it's just too many 3DS units active here.

It's more than a little annoying.

I feel your pain. I keep thinking something is wrong, but my DD-WRT does say WAN MAC = 40:53:50:4F:4F:46 and the Nintendo Zone works fine.

That's odd. Within 5 minutes of my DD-WRT config, I got a StreetPass hit. But I haven't got one since. Maybe I'll try changing the MAC to the other one mentioned in the thread. 40:53:50:4F:4F:47

Network Name (SSID) : attwifi

Please someone try it with that settings!

Anyone here who knows of any program for Windows to create a virtual hotspot for NZ? I got a router that can both receive and share Wi-Fi

Just commenting, I passed all the instructions from this thread to a friend of mine in another city (miles away from here) in Brazil, and works with him too (SSID _The Cloud, 40:53:50:4F:4F:46 ).

Also, I used their MAC address ( CC:FE:3C:92: DF:43) and he got a StreetPass hit from me in their 3DS.

Got a StreetPass hit on: 40:53:50:4F:4F:47 -- it was David from California again.

Trying 34:08:04:BF:AC:8A

How did you changed the MAC address on your Android? I have a Galaxy S with Cyanogenmod 10.1, I tried some apps with no result because when I share my mobile connection, the MAC address resets back to the original.

Ooh man,

 

[Tane]

Sweet X-Legend, you got my StreetPass - I'm going to switch back to that MAC soon, which should pick up your StreetPass!

So far no hit on 34:08:04:BF:AC:8A.

The only that works for me is Root Browser (search for this in Play Store).
After you edit the .nvmac.info file inside the "data" folder with proper MAC, kepp only the "Read" fields checked, then save.
