Grab the latest app and IPS patches from the Releases page
Extract to the root of your 3DS SD card
Install the Nimbus homebrew using FBI (or FBI Reloaded) if using the CIA build
Run the Nimbus homebrew and select either to use a Pretendo or Nintendo account
If it doesn't work, reboot your 3DS while holding SELECT and ensure that "Enable loading external FIRMs and modules" and "Enable game patching" are both turned on, as well as ensuring that your Luma3DS version is 13.0 or higher.
Building
Clone the repository recursively using git clone https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/nimbus --recursive
If you have cloned the repository previously, please run git pull and make clean while in the nimbus folder to avoid errors and broken files
On top of that, if you cloned it before 1.0.2 released, you might also need to run git submodule update --init --recursive while in the nimbus folder
Copy decompressed code.bin files from the friends, ssl, miiverse, and act sysmodules in their respective patches directories (any Miiverse code.bin works for the miiverse module)
I've spent a couple of hours to transfer my legit badge data between nintendo and pretendo accounts, it takes dumping, changing the ID and injecting back in, all of this is pretty much documented but takes a fair amount of time to do manually
Why optional?
I've painfully discovered that the layout of the badges is undone, making it so all of them go back to inventory, so it could be an extra checkbox when choosing the accounts
Now you my be asking why to do that well because countries that dosn't sell officials Nintendo product can't accept EULa officials blocking features like (streetpass mii plaza, Friend list,online play etc) this is a HOME MENU flag that can by bypassed using hombrew launcher (menuhax67) now there is a hombrew tool called DSES but it gives an Error code 1
IF YOU WANT PRETENDO ON 3DS WITH LUMA 12.00 TRY THE 3GX LOADER THEN ENABLE "ENABLE LOADING EXTERNAL FIRMS AND MODULES" AND "GAME PATCHING" SO IT WOULD STAY ON PRETENDO.
LUMA 12.0.1 HAS FIXED NIMBUS so GO AND UPDATE IT AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF
DONT USE LUMA V13 IT DOESN'T WORK
DEPRECATED AS IT NOW WORKS WITH A NEW PATCH THAT HAS RELEASED
Hi so V13 DOES work but you have todo things on your end to do it
Go into your luma folder and go into titles
Go into one of the files that came with the latest pretendo 3ds patch
Rename "code.ips" with the one that gas the code numbers ( ex. "code.ips" ---> "000400300000BC02.ips")
Do that to all of the files
4.once you done that move all the files into "sysmodules" here it should look like.
Launch nimbus if done correctly it should go to Pretendo (ignore the twl.bg)
Using a N3DSXL on latest luma, OFW, and nimbus version.
Luma patches are turned on.
When i press Pretendo in the Nimbus patcher, the system restarts, but i am still connected to Nintendo. When i open Nimbus again it still says Nintendo loaded. I did have the same problem with the other beta, but never got to fix it.
So when I was on my 3ds, I thought "hey, Nintendo doesn't use the notifications anymore after the 3ds and Wii U was discontinued with the last one being the E shop, so what if Pretendo adds notification support to show server updates or show when a pubic beta comes out as it feels a bit lifeless when you go on it"
