Any progression with the exploit or they don’t know how to solve it yet?
If there were any updates, we would have posted them here. Unfortunately, there is no news yet.

Hi, I’d just like to share a short update here. I don’t expect a standalone announcement to be made on the forum but I think it’s good to keep everyone up to date.
Animal Crossing New Leaf has now been reopened to testers. If you’re a tester, update to the latest version of Nimbus whilst carefully following the instructions provided here: Release v2.0.0-rc1 · PretendoNetwork/nimbus · GitHub.
When launching ACNL, you will need to launch Nimbus every time and press Y for the plugin to be activated.
Users who do not have the latest version of Nimbus or the plugin active will get error code 002-0152. Vapecord is NOT compatible with Animal Crossing: New Leaf currently, same for any other plugins until they add compatibility for Pretendo’s RCE patches.
Also please DO NOT donate just to regain access to New Leaf, we hope to have this public as soon as possible.

So you’re saying I have to open the Nimbus app every time i want to play ACNL?
can’t there be a way to just play NL without having to open the Nimbus app each time?
I think only the developers can use the online
Yes, that will be the case. The plugin is universal anyways since it does more than just ACNL RCE patches, it will have a PID grabber built in and unfortunately it does cause issues in some games so we can’t have it enabled automatically.
As I’ve stated, it’s testers only for now (it shouldn’t take long to become public again) which means that people who decide to leave a monthly donation is able to access the servers.
Yes, you will have to. Originally this was not the case, however PabloMK7 had some concerns with this approach so it was changed to require a launcher. See feat: Add Nimbus plugin by DaniElectra · Pull Request #65 · PretendoNetwork/nimbus · GitHub for details

Will this opening of Nimbus need to happen for every Pretendo game?
If the testers can have access to the servers, that means the exploit has been patched? Or the patch haven’t released yet and the testers have the risk of the exploit?
The exploit is believe to have been fixed, but it’s not released yet to the public (only has for testing). The announcement came with an advisement to do a NAND Backup, just in case

If this is the case, why can’t the plugin just activate when it detects a valid title ID?

Do you have a date for when the servers will reopen to the public?
There is no ETA.
How’s everything been? Did any testers see any bugs or anything like that?
It’s true that they’re taking a while, but hopefully tomorrow it will be made public.
When we are ready to share information, we will share information. Judging from the testing chats, that does not look like that’s the case yet.

The pretendo 2.0 plugin is not compatible with Vapecord?
No, because only one plugin can be loaded at once.
Hey btw, in the forum they said that the error that should appear while trying to connect is 002-0152, but when I try to connect I have the 002-0101 error. Is that normal?
