'''cleaninty''' is a PC tool used to communicate with Nintendo's SOAP servers.

For a 3DS, these servers deal with managing eShop accounts, downloading eShop titles, and system transfers. It is also the tool used for what is informally known as a "SOAP Transfer". | ||
== Overview == | |||
There are two parts of a 3DS that give it a unique ID to Nintendo's eShop servers: its serial number and its [[3DS:System files|<code>otp.bin</code>]]. If these are pulled out of the console and used somewhere else, they can be used to imitate the console - meaning Nintendo's servers can act on commands without the console doing anything on its end.<br> | |||
However, the files cannot communicate on their own, and a connection to Nintendo's servers that acts identically to a console is still needed. That is the purpose of cleaninty. | |||
The reason this allows for changing eShop regions easily, and at infinite range, are as follows: | |||
* '''Ease of Use''': Tickets for both system software & purchased apps are stored on Nintendo's servers, and some of these tickets are 'sticky' - they refuse to be deleted when trying to delete the console's eShop account. (The most common sticky tickets are from preinstalled titles and the [[3dbrew:Streetpass Mii Plaza|Mii Plaza 3.x]] update.) The only way to remove these tickets is to transfer them to another console, and this part can be made far easier if a donor console is used to collect the titles. | |||
* '''Infinite Range:''' System transfers are effectively divided into two parts: the content transfer (done entirely on consoles), and the NNID/title transfer (done entirely on servers).<br>On an actual console, these two must be done at the same time - but if cleaninty sends the commands for a server transfer, the consoles are never told to do the content transfer & Nintendo has no way of checking that a content transfer actually happened. (Technically, this also means a [[3DS:MMM|Manual Movable Transfer]] is the exact opposite of a SOAP transfer.) | |||
