Not connecting to Pretendo #127

Could you post the access key and NEX version of that server? I would need a bit more information to debug this. |
|
According to the Pretendo source code, the access code is globals.AuthenticationServer.SetDefaultNEXVersion(nex.NewPatchedNEXVersion(3, 8, 3, "AMAJ")) |
|
The Pretendo server sends a DISCONNECT packet after NintendoClients sends the log in request: Maybe @jonbarrow knows why this happens. |
I'll have to take a deeper look into this. We just recently did a large overhaul of our libraries, which may have introduced this regression, but just taking a quick glance the only time we send a The Super Mario Maker server is running on an older version of the libraries, however, so I'll see what I can dig up in some older commits |
|
I'm gonna CC @DaniElectra as well on this as he was the one doing the overhaul with me |

This is interesting: // * PID should always be 0 when a fresh connection is made
if client.PID() != 0 {
// * Was connected before on the same device, using a different account
server.Emit("Disconnect", packet) // * Disconnect the old connection
}
err := client.Reset()
if err != nil {
// TODO - Should this return the error too?
logger.Error(err.Error())
return nil

The repository you're looking at is a fork of ours. It may not be representative of what our upstream repository looks like. These specific lines do exist in older commits, but you shouldn't use forks as a reference for how our production servers would operate. You should be looking upstream. https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/nex-go Also this fork is extremely outdated On top of that, these lines are irrelevant to the actual issue at hand. The |
Got it, I'm not sure why I was looking at that fork |

It looks like the server is timing out the connection, since the the BTW probably unrelated to the original issue, but we enforce the usage of |

I tested it with Here is the script that generates these logs with from nintendo.nex import backend, settings, authentication
import anyio
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
async def main():
s = settings.default()
s.configure("9f2b4678", 30803)
auth_info = authentication.AuthenticationInfo()
auth_info.token = "test"
async with backend.connect(s, "116.202.98.9", 60003) as be:
async with be.login("test", "test", auth_info):
print(be)
anyio.run(main) |

Is this a bug with Super Mario Maker or the other games as well? |
|
I did some tests on my side and I have found the issue. You were trying to connect to the secure server directly, not the authentication server. The auth server is located on port

@DaniElectra Thank you so much, it finally seems to be working! But I'm not sure how to dump my Pretendo NEX credentials on a 3DS - the server rejects the normal credentials obtained via |
|
That's probably pretty likely tbh. @DaniElectra maybe Nimbus could be updated to dump this? |
|
I was able to manually extract After manually extracting it and decoding the password as UTF-16, and the PID as decimal, I got the same result as So I entered these credentials into the SMM archival script, but it still fails to authenticate ( What is going on here? Why won't the Pretendo server accept my credentials? |
|
From my experience, get_3ds_pid_password seems to work fine for getting both nintendo, and pretendo keys |
|
@Preloading That's weird. It seems to be getting the right credentials, but the server just keeps sending |

Are you passing the |
|
@DaniElectra This seems to be working! I'm getting another error, but I can't tell if that's because I passed an invalid token, as the value doesn't actually change anything. What's the correct value for it? The docs just name it... The error I'm getting is |
|
As the error says, that RMC method is not implemented on the server Unlike Nintendo's servers ours only implement what the games are known to use for simplicity |
|
I found PretendoNetwork/nex-viewer/src/protocols/patches/datastore_smm.js, and this seems to contain the information I need. I'll try to experiment with this Can there just be some way to download an archive of the Pretendo SMM courses? I'm trying to allow searching and downloading with only the 3DS version of SMM, and the only method I can think of is to scrape them like this Also, does the token actually matter? Because I'm getting the same results no matter what it's set to, and have no idea what it's supposed to be (packet dumps don't contain that as far as I can tell) |

Okay, this is strange, I'm sending |
No, it doesn't. This is a viewer, as indicated both in the repository name (
This has nothing to do with what is and isn't implemented on our servers, and a lot of what is implemented in the viewer was made with codegen
As stated you can only use the methods available on a per-server basis. Methods only get implemented in game servers if they're seen in use in the game, in order to simplify game server setups. Currently the methods you're trying to use are not implemented. So, no. At the moment there isn't
You're making 3DS game patches that can use Python scripts? It sounds like it would be easier to just patch the game itself than do this
Not all of our servers validate the token atm because we are changing how we handle token generation fairly quickly
No, it's not strange. Again. Only RMC methods fully implemented on our servers can be used. If you're getting Please actually check what is and isn't implemented, you can find our Super Mario Maker specific methods in the Super Mario Maker server, and for common DataStore methods those are implemented in our common implementations library. Be aware that just because a method is implemented in the common library does not mean a game server uses it. If the game server is not configured to use those methods (by not providing the fields/helpers the method needs) then it is considered not implemented. In the case of |

Thank you for your help so far
Got it, I misunderstood that file then. Which method is used by the Wii U when it just normally searches for files? If you don't know, how can I figure this out myself without a Wii U?
Could you consider just allowing you to download a .zip with the uploaded Pretendo courses somewhere (maybe an HTTP endpoint)? Although there's probably some reason I'm not thinking of that would make this difficult...
I'm making a Python script that can search and download from Pretendo's servers, then edit the ExtData to inject those courses. It can currently convert a local Wii U save file, so I'm hoping I can just download something similar from Pretendo. But since I don't own a Wii U, just a 3DS, it's been extremely difficult |
This depends on the game and it's implementation. It's not a Wii U vs 3DS thing. I don't remember off the top of my head which method Super Mario Maker uses specifically, there's several of them and that game even implements custom search methods
That's not something we're likely going to be interested in any time soon. The server doesn't have the concept of a "course". It only knows about "objects", and sometimes those don't even have real files associated with them. Games just upload and download objects from the server, and handles them however they need to. As far as the server is concerned they're all pretty much the same thing, stored exactly the same way regardless of object type (more than just courses are objects here) It's not as simple as just "put the courses in a zip". The server would need to process the data of every object in the database, determine if it is or isn't a course (which is not always so clear), collect it's metadata, pack it into something usable, and then add both the metadata and object data to the zip. This will take a good amount of time, not to mention likely provide you with a fairly large download. Our archive of Nintendo's data was over 500GB. While we aren't anywhere near that right now, it's not like this would be tiny. A rough estimate based on our current data would be ~200MB of just object data, which while not massive is large enough for us to think about sending over the network. And that doesn't include any of the object metadata. This will only keep growing larger and larger as time goes on |
