Luma3ds: Patch to prevent certain games from disconnecting the internet
Something I've noticed is that a handful of games force the Wifi off while they are running.
One such example of this is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Was wondering if that could be patched out.
A practical use for a patch like this would be that it would negate the need for people using NTR for video streaming to run this via the debugger: write(0x0105AE4, (0x70, 0x47), pid=0x1a)
It would also allow the friends list application to display these games that for whatever reason force Wifi off.

This is a "feature" added in 11.0 to hinder downloading Homebrew Launcher payloads from the Internet with OoT3D and Cubic Ninja. Only these two games are affected, so if you need a temporary fix you can just restore a 10.7 backup or use emuNAND on <=10.7 to play the game with NTR streaming.

No it isn't. OoT has blocked internet access since 3DS system version 1.0. 11.0 only revoked CN's permissions to use SOC:u and http:u (it does not disconnect the 3DS from the Internet).

I assume it uses SOCU_CloseSockets, although I'm not so sure about that...

@cheatfreak47 do you have another example of a game turning off Wifi?

@TuxSH Sure do, Star Fox 64 3D and I've also heard Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate does as well, but I don't have that last game to check it personally.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has never turned my wifi off as far as i can tell, it has multiplayer, so i don't think it'd do it.
Just popped my cart in for good measure and the Internet is still connected (Blue Indicator on homemenu, wifi indicator on unit lit)

Pokemon X/Y/OR/AS disconnect from WiFi unless you explicitly connect to the internet in game as well.

Is this a precautionary measure by games? I think it might be part of the system, as it happens with certain system apps too. System Settings, in particular, does this. I wonder what causes this across many apps.

all NFC Games still disable the wifi, if wifi turned on, then NFC will be disabled

Wrong NFC is enabled when WiFi is on and off when WiFi is off

The culprits are NDM:U EnterExclusiveState and NDM:U SuspendScheduler.
Now, for an efficient implementation => soon.

So how would I find and edit NDM:U EnterExclusiveState and NDM:U SuspendScheduler? I'm looking into this to try to prevent Pokemon Moon from auto-disconnecting from the wifi for NTR 3.6 streaming. Sorry if this has been solved, I'm very new to homebrew 3ds stuff and don't see a solution (at least one that I understand). The write command performed in the debugger does not do anything to help me. I am running 11.5 by the way
