56 Mac Addresses on a single unit.
50 Streetpass hits.
0 Zelda
20 ACNL
35 Pokemon
10 SSFIV 3D
5 Freakyforms
40 Music player (Really?)
Surprised there's no Zelda love. Also very surprised that someone in Brazil likes Jane Child. Actually, surprised anyone remembers who Jane Child even was.

It seems your MAC doesn't actually cycle, if it would, you would have gotten more SPs.
Did you clear your plaza every 10 or so MACs? You could get up to 330 with 55 MACs so. I know the games themselves will keep accruing when you're full, so just clarifying.
Thanks for running some numbers... Wonder if Nintendo is having issues with ALBW...
I could use some help here. I had this method working just fine with a Buffalo Wi-Fi stick so far - atleast I got StreetPasses and it seemed to work just fine.
But today I realized something strange.
When I change the MAC address manually through either macshift or MACycler v1.2, the last bit of the address gets altered and ends up being at +1 of what I typed in. For example if I want to use the main HomePass MAC, which is 4E:53:50:4F:4F:46, I type in
and it changes the MAC address of the "Wi-Fi" labelled adapter. It even says "changing to .....46" here so everything seems just fine.
For whatever reason, if I type
after this to check if the hotspot is up and running with the new MAC address, it shows 4E:53:50:4F:4F:47 to be its MAC adress. Strange enough, my Buffalo Wi-Fi stick really has the 4E:53:50:4F:4F:46.
So what's happening is that the Virtual Microsoft Adapter just adds +1 to the last bit of the MAC address I enter while the Buffalo Wi-Fi stick does not.
This makes sense to me at first because well, two network adapters should't have the same MAC address.
So my question is: is this normal? Is the "netsh wlan show..." supposed to show a different MAC than I entered? Or is it wrong and if so, what MAC address is relevant to the 3DS - the Virtual Adapter's or the BUFALLO stick's? Which one of these, the :46 or the :47, does the 3DS use for HomePass?
Side note: if I enter a MAC address that ends with a "F", it obviously can't just +1 on it and it ends up replacing the "F" by an "8" which is unfortunate because I can never make it to end with a "0"
Another side note: I tried to enter MAC addresses of my friend's routers because I thought we might end up getting a streetpass then - unfortunately, either macshift or my BUFFALO doesn't accept these MAC addresses as it seems. I can enter them but the "netsh wlan show..." ends up showing the BUFFALO's default MAC, I think. Would be cool if anyone could answer me this aswell.

Hi there, i joined up to say you all that is working on this, very excellent job
I have a question though, has this been figured out on ipad any chance?

you have to rename your wifi adapter to Wi-Fi. the virtual network then created should have attwifi as its ssid
GeneraLight:
AFAIK you can't share the Wi-Fi's connection since you use that exact same adapter to connect to the internet. You need atleast one other network adapter to connect to the internet. I see that you have a "Local Area Connection", probably you only have to connect your PC to your Router through a cable, then use that connection for internet and the Wi-Fi ONLY for sharing.
I might be wrong on this but atleast that's how I've understood.

I couldn't sleep and I wouldn't say 3 hours was "quickly".
Not every 10 Macs, every time the plaza hit 9 Miis. Most Macs only gave 1 Mii, a few gave 6. If there were 6, it sometimes gave 3.
I'm reasonably sure Nintendo's still having server issues and the relay is a very low priority to be fixed, if at all. After all, out in the wild they can claim that it's not an error on their end.
Exactly. You need at least 2 network adapters to share the connection. One adapter that the pc connects to the internet with, and the second one to share the connection
Hey look at my guide there are pictures aswell so it might help you. READ CAREFULLY

you need a wired connection ( the one you use and that will share your internet with you virtual network ) and a wifi card or wifi stick ( to make a virtual wireless connection ) some people said they got it working using the same adapter for internet and creating the network but i dont know i havent tried. if you that changing macs will cut your internet every time when it changes the mac.
Someone made a script for me. I'll be a good community member and share the love =3
With this mac adress list:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48696981/mac_adresses.txt
Some explanation:
Script was coded for ddwrt router. Works perfectly. Possible to be linked to a cron task, but i use a macro program to execute it because cron was not working correctly. The script just changes between de mac adresses indexed from 1 to 143, then resets.
Have fun, got 80 streetpasses while watching a movie.
Code:
read last_mac_index < last_mac
new_mac_index=$((last_mac_index+1))
if [ ${new_mac_index} == 144 ]; then
new_mac_index=1
fi
echo $new_mac_index > 'last_mac'
MAC=$(sed -n ${new_mac_index}p < mac_addresses.txt)
WLINT=$(nvram get wl0_ifname)
ifconfig $WLINT down
ifconfig $WLINT hw ether $MAC
ifconfig $WLINT up
