Nimbus

Pretendo account manager for the 3DS

Usage

  1. Grab the latest app and IPS patches from the Releases page
  2. Extract to the root of your 3DS SD card
  3. Install the Nimbus homebrew using FBI (or FBI Reloaded) if using the CIA build
  4. Run the Nimbus homebrew and select either to use a Pretendo or Nintendo account
    • If it doesn't work, reboot your 3DS while holding SELECT and ensure that "Enable loading external FIRMs and modules" and "Enable game patching" are both turned on, as well as ensuring that your Luma3DS version is 13.0 or higher.

Building

  1. Clone the repository recursively using git clone https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/nimbus --recursive
    • If you have cloned the repository previously, please run git pull and make clean while in the nimbus folder to avoid errors and broken files
    • On top of that, if you cloned it before 1.0.2 released, you might also need to run git submodule update --init --recursive while in the nimbus folder
  2. Install devkitARM, libctru, armips, makerom, bannertool and flips
  3. Copy decompressed code.bin files from the friends, ssl, miiverse, and act sysmodules in their respective patches directories (any Miiverse code.bin works for the miiverse module)
  4. Run make
