NetPass is a homebrew that offers new way to experience StreetPass.
The app works over the internet, you can pick various locations to go to, i.e. the train station, or a town plaza, then get passes of others who are in the same location.
While you are at the location, others who enter it can get passes with you. But beware, you can only switch locations once every 10 hours.
Installation
Available in 3DSX and CIA formats.
- 3DSX - Copy .3dsx the 3ds folder on your SD card and run it via Homebrew Launcher.
- CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
FAQ
Q. How do I use this thing?
You open the app and then it presents you the option to enter a virtual location. Currently there are three: the train station, the plaza and the mall. Upon entering a virtual location you can get netpasses of others who are also in that location.
Q, Any time I open the app it says I am in a location. What's up?
Once entering a location, a 10-hour long session is started. During those 10 hours any subsequent opening of the app will reconnect you to the same location. After 10 hours have elapsed you can choose a new location.
Q. I only got like one netpass when entering a location?
On the first connection your data is uploaded to a database. There is a chance you receive passes immediately, however given more time your data will “pair” with someone else’s data which will then be available to download. This random pairing can occur once an hour, so there is no guarantee you will receive passes every time the database updates.
Imagine it as someone with a 3DS walking past you, this can happen 2 times a day or 40 times a day, depending on your luck. Your uploaded data will remain in this pairing state for up to 30 days, therefore checking in and switching locations is advised, especially since each location has its' own database. Patience is key.
Q. Do I have to leave this app open? Can I put my 3DS to sleep?
There is no need to leave NetPass open to accumulate passes. The pairing of datasets happens server side, you simply need to check in every so often.
Q. Will normal StreetPass still work?
Yes, it'll still work just fine.
