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

[Mr. Korv]

Thanks for dividing your army in Warrior's Way in 2 small fractions (99,999). Beat you and got 502,849 soldiers.

Oh yeah, when you say 4E:53:50:4F:4F:10-4E:53:50:4F:4F:90 does that include xA, xB, xC, xD, xE and xF? (like 4E:53:50:4F:4F:5D)

No problem, bro. Glad I could help you!

Nope, I just have 4A - 4F... I should probably add the other numbers as well!

On Android 4.1 the file isn't there. There is .mac.info but it doesn't change a thing.

It only work on Froyo and Gingerbread rooted phones as far as I know. And someone posted this before.

Wow, 18/20 of the attwifi's around my area haven't even been seeded yet...
Guess I was right in assuming almost no one in my city has a 3DS.

 

[Sailornic]

the guide don't work for me.... i can change the MAC adress, the ssid, my 3DS is connect, go to internet, nintendo zone can't connect and no strettpass

 

[Clare]

Question. I've got a router running Tomato. I've got relays working, but would like to use a script to automatically rotate through a list of MACs over a period of time so I don't have to think about it. There's a script for DD-WRT, but I don't know if that would work. Has anyone here used Tomato and might be able to help me create such a script? Or even better, is there someone that's already created one?

some more questions:

are all of the mac addresses listed "fake"? as in, only used by people here? can you connect to "real" mac addresses and get streetpasses that you would normally get by visiting that physical location?

if the answer is yes, does anyone have any android apps to suggest to connect to nintendozones to get their mac address? (the ssid should be easy enough to get)

Yes. Check the spreadsheet.

Hello, I'm trying to make this work (using Windows 7 with a TP-Link TL-WN725N adapter), I can change the mac address of the device and connect to the internet on the 3DS just fine, however when I close the 3DS I get no StreetPass hits.

Virtual Router Manager recognizes the device but when I close the lid it disappears from the Peers Connected list, is this normal?

on Android you can use WLANAudit by a nintendo zone to find its MAC, you can also save them to view later with this app so you can throw them in a text document later or something.
You could also try WiGLE's android client if you want to map out everywhere you go, but I imagine the battery drain's a bit much since it'd have the GPS and WiFi on all the time.
There's a decent chance somebody already mapped your area, you can check it out on WiGLE (http://wigle.net). Their interactive map lets you zoom in and find all the APs matching your search terms.. I just wish the markers they used were more noticeable at a broader zoom.
You can couple it with Nintendo.com's NZone finder (the bottom half of the page) to find out which are really NZones, or find where they are easier, before going to Wigle, or whatever you want to do. (Oh, and thanks to 7oby on reddit for mentioning Wigle, never knew about it.)
If you don't think you have many people in your area with a 3DS though, I'd suggest maybe trying to find the MACs for NZones in large cities, like seattle, LA, NYC, Detroit, etc. and using those.

It will disconnect when you close the lid, but after a few seconds it should reconnect.

It does, but then in a short time it disappears again.

oh oh oh, I don't know what I just did, but It worked!!!

well with the lid closed all it does is check for the streetpass/spotpass data i think, so not to sound like a broken record, but have you checked to make sure your MAC is actually set to what its supposed to be? You should be able to check with the command ipconfig /all ... from the command-line.

i'm currently using the wifitether app on my rooted android phone. it's worked once, but hasn't since then. the app notified me that the 3ds connected to it the one time it worked, but i've never recieved that notification since then

any clue what could be wrong?

I've noticed with mine I have to be on the home screen and then close the DS. Once that's done, I have to enable the Wifi tethering app, and then just kinda wait for a minute or so. Usually after a minute the green light goes on. Then I leave the DS as is, go in, change the Mac to the next one and repeat.

can i get some help?
Currently using a linksys/cisco 2500 router flashed with DDWRT v-24 sp.2 mini. Unable to get an internet connection. Have tried the mac clone instructions since my DSL doesnt not use PPP0E, but not sure if i am doing them correctly

now cloning the MAC adress disconnect me from the router and i cant change the setting through the default ip. Probably going to just return the router if internet cant even com out

I had a similar headache to this because of the disparity in information between the main dd-wrt website, the wiki, and the forums. If you're using the 21061 build, you might give this a try:

1. Revert to stock firmware just to be safe (make sure you do the 30-30-30 just as instructed), as described here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E2500#Reverting_to_stock_firmware
2. Flash the trailed build recommended on the same page: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E2500#Flashing_instructions_for_the_E2500
3. DO NOT UPGRADE. Give it a try on 19342. If it works, you can upgrade to the big or mega builds (also listed on that same page), but don't go any higher.

I had pretty much the same problem as you, and it seemed to be because I was using 21061. Apparently, despite the fact that the main website suggests it, this build has problems on a large number of routers with Broadcom-based chips (which the E2500 is). I have an E2000 and downgraded to 14929 and the problem vanished.

If that doesn't help or if you're not using 21061, I'm not sure what to suggest. You might ask on the dd-wrt forums.
