I'm using Animal Crossing: New Leaf's "talk to random strangers online" feature and everyone is so open about talking about Pretendo and custom firmware and everything.
I guess there's no reason not to be; what's Nintendo going to do, ban me from the service they're shutting down tomorrow?
I hung around on Animal Crossing for the last few hours I could today, all the way until I got a random error and got kicked out. I'm glad I did that, and I'm glad I checked out Mario Kart 7 and Smash 4 again while I could too.
Unfortunately you can't access the Chicken Wiggle level browser even though it uses its own server and that server is still online. I wouldn't expect that server to stay up forever at this point, but I also don't know what I can do without understanding how the API is encrypted.
@roxy Yes, I saw in Citra's debugging tools that when you open the level browser, the game attempts to reach out to the 3DS friends service for some reason, which of course now fails. This also made it more difficult to get information while the service was still going, because Citra did not support the things it was asking the friends service to do so I could just not log in and browse levels except on my actual 3DS. Citra seems to do high level emulation of the 3DS OS and I guess not all of it was implemented yet?
