13Projects in the Cloud

This menu is used when storing files on the SmileBoom server by connecting to the network, or when making completed projects open to the public.

An Internet connection is required in order to use this menu. In order to upload and download, you must also create and register a Nintendo Network ID. Please refer to the Operations Manual provided with Nintendo 3DS system for more details.
The first time you try to use a feature that requires a Nintendo Network ID, an authentication dialog will appear.

①Upload (Send)

This allows you to download (receive) files which have been published on the SmileBoom server.

  1. The SmileBoom server provides 10 storage locations for storing files, which are tied to your Nintendo Network ID. Each location is called a "Slot." One slot is used up whether you save all the files in a project or just a single file.
  2. Use the +Control Pad to select a project to upload. To select a single file, press the Select File button and choose a file from the file list.
    You cannot upload the SYS folder or the DEFAULT folder.
  3. Press the Confirm button. A confirmation message will appear.
    • Yes - Upload will begin.
    • No - Upload will not begin.
    Uploading large data will take a considerable amount of time. Please wait until the completion message appears.

Simply uploading files to the SmileBoom server does not mean that they have been published (made open to the public). They will be viewable to others once you have carried out the "Publish Project that Allows Secondary Use" process.

②Download (Receive)

This allows you to download the contents of slots containing projects (or files) that have been saved to the SmileBoom server.

  1. Use the +Control Pad to select the slot to download files from, and then press the Confirm button. A confirmation message will appear.
    • Yes - Download will begin.
    • No - Download will not begin.
    Downloading large data will take a considerable amount of time. Please wait until the completion message appears.

While the download is in progress, please do not turn off the power or remove the SD card or Game Card.

③Publish Project that Allows Secondary Use

This feature allows you to publish projects you have uploaded to the SmileBoom server. Once a project is published, a "Public Key" will be generated, which you can use to give the project to others.


The publication process is as follows:


  1. Accept the precautions concerning publication (Allow secondary use)
  2. Select from your uploaded files
  3. Confirm submission of the publication request
  4. Review process (performed on the server side)
  5. If there are no issues, a Public Key will be issued

  1. A warning screen will appear showing the terms of publication. By pressing the Yes button, you are agreeing to abide by these terms.

    Once you publish a project, anyone in the world who owns this product and has been given the Public Key can view your work (program, data, etc.). Please be sure not to carelessly publish projects that contain libelous content or personally identifiable information such as addresses and telephone numbers. Such content, if distributed by a malicious user to the general public via the Internet, might ruin the life of the person involved.

    Please also note that programs and resources (images and sounds) included in published projects are deemed to have been provided by their creators with permission for secondary use by third parties. Please be careful to avoid problems such as infringement of copyright. If a published project is the subject of a takedown notice, SmileBoom Co., Ltd. may delete the relevant project without prior notice.

  2. Use the +Control Pad to select the file you want to publish and press the A button to confirm. The precautions regarding publication will be displayed once more. Press Yes if you want to request publication.

  3. The review process will now begin. The file content will be analyzed on the SmileBoom server side. Once it is verified that there are no issues with it, a Public Key will be issued. The review process will require some time.

    In some cases, the result of the review process may be given as "Publication Declined." Publication may be declined because the project includes content that is contrary to public order, or because it includes files specified by a deletion request. However, we cannot answer any questions regarding the specific reasons for publication being declined. We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding. A project with the "Publication Declined" status cannot be given to others.

  4. The publication review process is now finished. Please wait for the result of the review from the server.

④Delete

  1. Use the +Control Pad to select the slot to delete files from, and then press the A button to confirm.
  2. Use the +Control Pad to select the files you want to delete, and press the A button to check them.
  3. Pressing the Confirm button will display a message confirming deletion.
    • Yes - Files will be deleted.
    • No - Files will not be deleted.

⑤Cancel Publication

This will cancel publication of a slot and make it inaccessible to others.

Use the +Control Pad to select a slot to depublish, and then press the A button to confirm your selection. A confirmation message will appear.

  • Yes - Publication will be cancelled.
  • No - Slot will remain open to the public.

⑥Download Projects from the Network Using a Public Key

This allows you to upload saved projects (or files) to the SmileBoom server.

  2. Select the project folder where the downloaded files will be stored.
  3. Pressing the Confirm button will display a message asking if you wish to begin the download.
    • Yes - Download will begin.
