Onboarding
Before you can use NetPass, an onboarding message will prompt you to install additional patches for additional features. This is a highly recommended, but ultimately optional step. You will need to enable sysmodule game patching in your Luma settings for the patches to work properly (you can do this by holding down on the Select button when your 3DS is booting up). After these patches are installed and you’ve enabled game patching, make sure your 3DS system reboots before opening NetPass again. If an update to the patches is available, the onboarding screen will appear again.
Getting StreetPasses
- Firstly, launch NetPass; your StreetPass data will begin to upload onto the server.
- After your data is uploaded, you will see 6 different locations; once you choose and enter a location, you will begin to randomly pass people in that location for the next 10 hours.
Important Notes:
- You are unable to change or leave your location until your 10 hours have run out.
- After the 10-hour period ends, you will automatically leave the location, and then need to enter a different one to receive more passes.
- All NetPass locations are equally as likely to give you passes; there’s no ‘busy’ or ‘less busy’ option.
