If I have a game open and then put my 3DS in standby mode, will the pedometer work?

Also, will Street Pass work for any other games on the system, or just the currently open game? If I have the 3DS in standby from the Home screen, does Street Pass work for all games?

Thanks.

The pedometer will still work when there's game open and you're in standby. Same goes for streetpass.

Streetpass will work for all games you've activated it for (there is a limit on how many games use streetpass at a time, you can check how many games are activated from streetpass data in system settings) in the home menu/playing a game.

Thanks! One more question: does Street Pass work for any games you've played, even if the cartridge is not in the system, or does it have to be there (or downloaded)?

Yeah, Street Pass works for the game even if the cartridge isn't there.

There's a limit to how many streetpasses you can get so if you only get 20 streetpasses from people with Animal Crossing you can't get any new ones until you open the game.

Is that an overall limit, or per game?

It depends on the game. Usually it's around 10.

But 10 per game, right? I need to read up on how Street Pass works....

there is a limit on every game, for example:
99 for pokemon
20 for animal crossing
10 for fire emblem
10 for mii plaza
(continuing for any games that have streetpass activated)
this stops any streetpasses for this one application until you open it and check the streetpasses

i think thats the limit for those 4 games, i may be wrong
