Rooster, I just want to inform you, -just in case you don't know how- that in order to get online on the 3DS friend's list is by tapping the square smiley face with the stylus. It should become orange to signal to you that you're online. Now, if you go one time to the right of your screen with the analog stick, you should see your mii and your friend code on the top 3D screen. The friend code is on the bottom of the screen.Also, make sure the wireless switch is on on the right side of your 3DS. It should have it's yellow light on.
