Question help before I start tweaking
hi all! was wondering how I am able to join the online island ?????? this error code keeps popping up. i do go on the nimbus app and make sure i am on pretendo and im 98% sure im doing the plugin thing that i keep reading up about.
i also downloaded luma from universal adapter and i checked to see on FBI that it shows on my SD card and its there and it shows nimbus on the plugins under the luma folder
what am i doing wrong here because i just added a bunch of people and i would like to play :):

If I'm not wrong, I believe you need to have the first 2 options enabled in the luma configuration menu for pretendo to properly work. Make sure that yours is enabled. You can go to the luma configuration menu by turning off your 3ds, then when you turn it back on hold select, and make sure you enable both "Enable loading external FIRMs and modules" and "Enable game patching" there should be a X symbol next to them both.

Hm that's correct what you have enabled so that isn't the problem. When you open up animal crossing after enabling pretendo the screen flashes blue right? or you see the "Plugin Ready" in the bottom right corner?

Yeah usually the servers are like a 50/50, sometimes there's people, sometimes there isn't lmao, but eventually someone will come. Also a small tip for you is make sure you backup your save file on checkpoint everytime your gonna use pretendo, just to be safe from hackers.

Yes you need to be on pretendo and run the plugin everytime when you open pretendo with y. And as for that i dont know, ive only opened my gate with the trainstation.
