This is an update the unexpected maintenance period on July 15th. For the original announcement, see Past maintenance on 2026-07-15
We have begun the process of slowly bringing everything out of maintenance. The reason for the unexpected downtime was due to a security report we received privately. Much like with the ACNL RCE report, we opted to take things down while we investigated. Rather than updating this forum thread with any new information, for the latest details and information see https://pretendo.network/blog/7-17-26.
Not everything will be up right away, this is a slow rollout. The following services are being put back up currently:
All other games and services, including Juxtaposition, are still being prepped with the relevant updates. Certain games which still run on older versions of our libraries, or which have custom/non-standard features, such as Super Mario Maker and Splatoon, may take additional time to bring back up. We thank you for your patience as we get everything back up and running.
Work is ongoing on the other games not listed. Thanks for your patience while we work this out. Certain services have been a little wobbly, so please bear with us while we bring everything back to full steam.
Additionally, the following titles that are currently testers only should now function again:
Monster Hunter XX
F1 2011
Puyo Puyo Tetris!
Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
Pokémon Gen6
Tetris Axis
Puyo Puyo 20th
Super Street Fighter IV
Ice Station Z
should be back. these ones took some actual work to fix up, especially SSFIV and F1 2011, so if we can check I didn’t goof them before I move onto the prod games that’d be great
I’ve tried connecting to Pretendo on Pokémon X the past day or so just to see if the server was back up. The error codes and the amount of time the game took to display them were varied until today. Today I’ve consistently been getting the same error code below after a few seconds when I try to connect.
If you need more time to perform security maintenance on the server that’s perfectly fine, I just wanted to let you know about this in case it’s something unintentional. I am using Azahar to play the game, so if this is something affecting only emulators and you’d like me to provide more information to help troubleshoot this, just let me know.
All of these games required code changes, so please bear with them if they have a bit more work that needs to be done. The instability mentioned in the last announcement should be resolved, however.
any chance I can get an estimate on when JUXT. will be back? Please take your time of course!!! Ive just been using it to draw art fight attacks for the month and am very anxious to get back into the fight xwx. Thanks for all your hard work!
Do I have to be manually whitelisted to access Generation 6 online services? I understand that you’re still working on restoring power, but I’m getting error code 002-0110 (discontinued service) when trying to connect. I made sure to activate the Nimbus plugin from the Nimbus application before starting Pokémon X.
Hi there ! Just wanted to let you know that I tried to play TriForce Heroes with 2 of my friends, but unfortunately we also had the same error another user listed a few hours ago (006-0102)
Are there any problems with that game ? Or maybe is it because we’re not in America :c ?
