O3DS not launching Nintendo network ID settings

[piracy-haven]

Hey fellow gamers,

I recently encountered a puzzling issue with my beloved Nintendo Old 3DS and I'm hoping someone here might have some insight or advice.

So, here's the deal: I've been using my Old 3DS for quite some time now, enjoying the classic games. Recently, I decided to enhance my gaming experience by installing Pretendo Network, a popular tool for connecting to custom servers for various Nintendo games.

Installation seemed smooth, and I was excited to dive into some online matches. However, after installing Pretendo Network, I noticed that I couldn't launch the Nintendo Network ID settings on my Old 3DS. Every time I try to access it, the system freezes and crashes.

I've tried a few troubleshooting steps like restarting the system, re-installing the Pretendo Network, and even checking for system updates, but nothing seems to resolve the issue.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem after installing Pretendo Network or any other homebrew applications on their Old 3DS? If so, how did you manage to fix it?

I'm really hoping to get this sorted out soon so I can get back to enjoying some online gaming sessions. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Re-install the latest system firmware by updating via the System Settings.

Best bet is to Google uninstall reverse then attempt to reinstall pretendo.

That happened to me and was frustrating but the Uninstalling reverse worked a charm.

Thankyou for the reply, not it shows an error message when hit "finish" at the end of nnid settings.
I'm new to this "homebrew scene" and I've done what I can. any ideas?

Have you signed up using the prentdo website first?

Have you swapped networks on it first. Like on the prentendo app on the 3ds makw sure that's set to the pretendo servers first

[Mr_Waffles]

What exactly have you done ?

 

[piracy-haven]

as you asked, i have removed home save data and it has completely bricked the device. even sd formatting doesnt work or resetting the console has not worked

Did you keep the files before formatting the SD card and replace the Luma boot.firm. because deleting the home extra data wouldn't brick a console.

Hi, I had the same problem, the solution to the original problem was actually to disable the plugin loader before opening the settings (L Select Down).
This is because Hokaku CTR doosn't play well with the settings app for some reason when opening NNID settings.
It is very unfortunate you bricked your console, I wish you luck in restoring it!
