@PN_Jon, or any other Pretendo developers, I am just wondering if Pretendo is working on reviving Spotpass for Wii U and 3DS, or if it is available for beta testers.
Thanks!
Why did you just ping the owner…
Anyways, I’m not a developer, but all I can really say for the time being is that it’s not yet fully utilized. One time it was used to send an announcement notification to 3ds owners about StreetPass Relay. Should be here later on, however.
I pinged the owner due to the fact that he is well… the owner/main Pretendo dev, I guess he controls the network. isn’t that fairly logical?
Anyway, thanks for info.
No, but think about it for a sec.
Should I have contacted Gamersinternatio or someone? Maybe even a different developer, sorry for the inconvenience. I am a little confused.
Well, yeah I guess. I just wouldnt ping the owner like that, yet they might come on later anyways and respond with what’s gonna happen, so im not sure
Is it really that much of a leap? I was just asking the main dev, it’s not like its some unspoken rule, right?
Sorry, that sounded rude of me.
No, no, not at all
It’s just that i would rather go for other moderators around the area…
…Just realized that Jon might just come on and explain anyway, you’re fine
Cool, have a good day!
but in canada there no street pass none dose not have a 3ds or maybe got a switch
SpotPass, also known as BOSS, is not just used for user-facing stuff but also game stuff such as Splatoon rotations, that’s SpotPass. The devs are able to send notifications to Wii U and 3DS but have not utilized it yet.
Thanks for explaining, now that I know what BOSS is, would you mind explaining what NEX is? I am just a bit curious!
Thanks!
NEX is the server protocol/software used for game servers like Splatoon, SM3DW, SSB, etc.
Pretendo already utilises SpotPass for various functions, I believe StreetPass Relay might use it (I’m not familiar with the technicals), as well as 3DS notifications and Splatoon.
In the future, please don’t ping Jon unless it’s necessary. Thanks!
Thanks so much for explaining!
Oh right now I see. I am so sorry for pinging Jon, I didn’t know who to ask sorry. Thanks for explaining, sorry about the mistake. Anyway, Pretendo is great!
Pretendo already use SpotPass for games like Splatoon, and exclusive SpotPass can be dumped and archived at least on 3DS dumping the BOSS data using JKSM and then applying the data also using JKSM, But right now SaveMii on Wii U doesn’t dump the SpotPass data i think.
I think it possibly does actually, at least for Splatoon. I think shared save data is referred to as common data in SaveMii??
