Potential fix for error codes
-
Checking your firewall or router settings and/or contacting your ISP. If you can’t or don’t want to, please host a local DNS server using the tool listed below.
-
For Error Code 090-2441 on 3DS please switch to Nintendo Network and update your game to the latest version.
Hosting your own local DNS server.
Link to the mhosdns tool.
Using it is simple; instead of setting the usual 34.75.107.68 IP address as the DNS server in your network settings, you’ll use your own local DNS IP address (It will be displayed directly in the app). This ensures that your DNS requests are no longer intercepted or tampered with by your ISP, eliminating the need for a VPN.
When are the other games going to be available?
The DLC networking requires connecting to Nintendo Network so no ETA just like the multiplayer servers for the games. Wait for Pretendo to add support for more games first.
