How does pretendo work

I just want to know how you guys get games servers up and running.

This probably would’ve been better off in the off topic thread.

I disagree in this case. It’s just going to get buried in a thread with thousands of posts.

If you have an issue with a post, we’d prefer if you flag it by the way.

Pretendo is definitely a complex set of servers. If you want to learn more about it, I’d recommend self-hosting the servers and using the included mitmproxy to view what network requests are being sent. Then, you can cross-reference the network requests with the server source code to understand more about how the servers work. That’s essentially how I learned.

If you’re looking for documentation, I should also mention the Nintendo Wiki, which explains how the game servers work in general, and the developer documentation, which explains how Pretendo’s game server libraries work.
