Instacheck Hotspot -- a fast Pokémon checker for XY

I have tried it both ways (uninstalling, popping disk in, installing, and uninstalling, rebooting, running the disk). I re-installed virtual router and instacheck as well.

I have three possible ideas at the moment.

- Even upon uninstalling and rebooting, Windows immediately tries to grab the driver itself.(I have like three seconds to react, and I can't stop it in time) The latest attempt it failed. Despite failing, the disk insisted the drivers were still installed. ((Though the disk also wants me to not even have the card in the computer, and only insert it after I reset the computer.)) I suppose I'd have to unplug my Ethernet cable or something to stop Windows from immediately grabbing the driver upon booting up?

- As mentioned before, the card's instructions are very specific not to have it inserted (rather cables) before I first start up the disk. I'm not sure what that really does, but it seems like it would be a pain just to remove it, reboot, run program, insert it, restart computer, and let it grab the driver.(Windows ninja's the disk program grabbing the drivers)

- I am using a solid state drive that barely holds any space to keep my operating system on exclusively. It makes booting up my computer super fast. I pretty much run all programs on my D drive, and have reset folders (such as My Documents, My Pictures, ect. to actually be on that drive rather than the SSD.) Sometimes I run into issues with programs because it likes installing on the C drive without asking where to place the download. Instacheck and Virtual Router are all on the D drive, and I honestly have no idea if that possibly could be the cause. ((I apologize, I know virtually nothing on networking.)

Edith: Other things possibly worth mentioning:
- Anytime I try to enable anything on the "sharing tab", it automatically seems to go off. if I do that on the wireless card, I lose my ethernet connection until I remove it. If I set it on ethernet connection, it just disappears on its own. Nothing else pops up that allows me to chose where to share the connection.

- Unless I'm actually connected to the wireless on the wireless card, it doesn't show up in the instacheck options. It's always Local Area Connection otherwise.

- In my Local Area Connection settings, I do not have TCP/IPv6 checked, just TCP/IPv4. I THINK I did this for a specific reason for it, but I don't recall why. (Possibly because my router is WEP enabled so I can connect to the internet on the DS Lites?) The wireless card has both unchecked.

Hey Britty, sorry for leaving last night.


I think Sheeplet is correct about modifying the registry. Especially considering your sharing is being turned off automatically. That's a key component to getting this working. Not sure how willing you are to do registry changes. It can get messy and I will take no responsibility for what make happen LOL! Before we look into that, do you have an anti-virus or firewall? I apologize if I already asked that.

Alternatively, I'd be more then happy to check any pokemon you want, because at this point you've really gone above and beyond with troubleshooting LOL

Sorry I was thinking that was from someone else who traded me before you
 
I can't for the life of me get this to work, though i desperately want it to.
I've tried to figure it out with an extra usb wifi adaptor, as well as the corded method. Most of the time I can get past the errors upon starting up, but then when I connect on my 3DS it reaches the spot, but not the internet. Tried all shared connections. Any ideas?
 
Hey Pokemon Breeder Sophie, I've seen you troubleshoot quite a bit, so I was wondering if you knew a solution to "A method or operation is not implemented" error.

Thanks.

Hey, this seems to be the error most people get stuck on, I'll try my best to help tho!

Can you start by restarting your computer and running through steps #3+ on my guide, and let me know if you experience anything different then I did. Specifically around steps #3 and #5 :)
 
if anyone can help me check for a shiny mienfoo i will trade back anything i have a whole box full ive hatched over 500 eggs bymself and nvr got one :C
 
Pokemon Breeder Sophie, have you ever encountered this error yet? I have no trouble generating the Hotspot. BUT the hotspot has no network or internet access. What is really confusing me is that I was able to do it last night with no trouble whatsoever. And today it is simply not working.

I've heard this a lot. It's usually solved by restarting the computer. I think the cause is that the 3DS can have issues connecting after starting the "scan"
I personally don't even "start instachecker" until my 3DS is online on the hotspot.

Hello there! I posted way earlier in this topic but nobody seemed to notice my post. I would REALLY appreciate the help. I'm trying really hard to get it working and it's frustrating that it's eluding me so well. I am only kind of okay at stuff like this, but detailed instructions would be amazing.

I have been having tons of problems (I have never successfully started Instacheck's hotspot, despite having network sharing marked as "yes" in my CMD window) but this one stands out to me because you said it was important. My Local Area Connection immediately turns off sharing when I start the Hotspot on Instacheck.
My pictures are below. This is what they mean:
1) The various connections I can choose to share. I chose to share Wireless Network Connection
2) The proof that my Local Area Connection does show the sharing condition
3) I "start hotspot" and the sharing on my network (Network 9) disappears
4) Instacheck gives me an error, that it cannot start.

Sophie, if you're still around, could I get your thoughts on my problem earlier? It'd be extremely appreciated. I've got like six boxes of Gastly eggs I sorely want to check. :[


EDIT: Whoh whoh whoh. I've been having the same problem as Britty but due to an accident, it started. I accidentally left my "shared connection" as my Wireless, despite it being completely disconnected. That allowed me to start the program. Possible solution?

Actually it JUST started working again. I had to restart a few times but it kicked on again. Thanks for being so quick to respond!
Also on a random note, I got an error when trying to start the Hotspot and closed it. Forgot what it was to check for help, so I tried to make the hotspot again and it went off without a hitch. Seems like, at least for me, it's random whether the stars will align or not hahaha

Nice!!

Not to insult the incredible person who made this program, but it's a bit unreliable. ^___^;;;;
There have been a few people in this thread who I'm sure has done everything correctly, and still can't get it working. Someone spent 6 hours on it last night, then randomly it started working lol
In my experience, if you're going to do anything wireless it's going to be a hassle LOL
