3DS StreetPass

I got a few foreign passes this past few weeks in Dublin too! Sweden, Spain, Japan (she had EVERY puzzle piece) and a few American states. Been getting about 4/5 a day in town now. I think a lot of people must have bought 3ds for animal crossing because it's much more than usual, and my happy homes academy is almost full

I was reading that there is a worldmap icon in the mii plaza where you can see regions/countries your mii's are from. I dont seem to have it in mine, does anyone have it ?

i thought streetpass squad was finish when i cleared last level from planets but there more to do

and plus i got 5 streetpass hits today

2 hits oop north yesterday, both mums, no puzzle pieces. You'll pay for this, Helen Mirren!

Well I've moved country to a town of 50,000 people. Still I got 3 streetpass hits. I think I'm gonna like it here

hey going new type of mii streetpass hits when there new handheld system comes out in October 12th aka nintendo 2ds

Is that a nintendo fact, or do you just mean that the lack of a hinge makes the 2DS a trickier prospect for carrying around so street pass hits will have to come from somewhere else?

I don't actually know anywhere that does the relay.

I presume he means the new Streetpass Relay feature where designated Nintendo Zones now store Streetpass information so you can receive a streetpass from someone who is not actually in the area while you're there, and similarly your info is stored and passed on to the next guy.

You can use MAC address spoofing and strategic renaming of your WiFi network to create your own zone and streetpass people all over the world - there are a number of boards that have lists of MACs that people use for this (I presume based on genuine Nintendo Zone access points)

Tried doing this on my laptop by tethering my phone for internet access, can't install the drivers to use the phone as a tether until after I successfully tether it - GAAAAAAAH!

Well, there's 2 answers to that.
First, you can root your phone and use a program like MAC address ghost, then use the WiFi Hotspot feature on your phone (change the SSID to "_The Cloud") and you're set
That doesn't require a laptop, but it does require your phone is rooted.

Alternatively you can tether the phone to your PC or use a direct cable connection to your home router, use Virtual Router Manager to create a router with SSID _The Cloud that uses your laptop Wifi card, and use MAC Shifter to spoof the MAC of your Wifi CArd

The 3DS only sees the MAC of the access point it connects to (your spoofed WiFi card), not any of the back-end stuff (ie your phone or router), and that defines it as a Nintendo Zone connection - it then hits the Nintendo servers, tells it what zone you're connected to, passes your Street Pass info and pulls the Street Pass data for the last guy to pass (which is why the list maintainers request that you wait 30 mins before changing to a second MAC address, give everyone else a chance!)

You can get a Nintendo Zone connection simply by changing the SSID, the MAC is only needed for the relay portion.

I was not aware of this!!! I'll be trying it later!!!

The way I look at it, Nintendo owes me 2 x 6 months worth of SP data that they took from me when they had my 3DS, so I'm happy to take the puzzle pieces that I lost and Streetpass Quest progress they stole... Once I find NIC drivers for my ancient wifi card that can support hosted networking under Windows 7 that is...

I've got only 8 countries remaining, woop woop!

there update for streetpass today and 3 streetpass hits today

i got 3 hits and problem more tomorrow with reopening of hmv on henry street dublin
