Does a PNID stay signed in without an SD card?

Question is above. Just wondering if I can go right back to getting my stuff back.

[Moderator note: post was moved from another topic to this one.]

Does a Pretendo account stay logged in on a 3DS even without the SD card or does it go back to the NNID? I lost a lot of my data but tbh I’ve gotten over it now (and I have a backup… SOMEWHERE so I’ll find that eventually) but I was just wondering if I can turn on my 3DS and go right to installing all my games again.

Your friends save (friend code and friend list) and account save (PNID) are both saved on the 3DS NAND, not the SD card, so you should stay logged in and keep your friend list. You will need to reinstall Nimbus in order to connect back to Pretendo.

So, if I reinstall Nimbus I’ll be able to switch back to my NNID?
