Homebrew ...all this for nothing!? Aftermath of 3DS System Transfer. (DSiWare Downgrade)

[KytuzuEX]

It never tells you to swap cards, which admittedly is really annoying. But you wouldn't swap if doing the "lazy transfer" right?

Exactly.

Exactly.

So the source 3ds must of have an sd card when you started the transfer, where is that now?

No, no

What I meant is that my Source 3DS DS Card is not micro sd compatible because is only the adapter.

and my N3DS obviously, only micro sd card

Well, if everybody tells me to stick to the guide and not to do anything else, its not my fault. This has nothing to do with technical knowledge.

The guide says "Backup every file on both 3DS’s SD cards to two separate folders on your computer", as well as "Do NOT delete the source system’s SD card contents if prompted". Although it doesn't specifically say to do a PC-based transfer (you don't have to, after all), it expects that the reader knows how system transfers work, or at least that they're willing to read Nintendo's step-by-step guides on how to transfer, as it doesn't detail every step of the transfer process itself. At any rate, doing a wireless transfer when you have gigabytes of data to transfer is a bad move.

No, no

You should have backed up the data from your source system's SD card; transfer that to the target system's SD card and see what happens.

Ok then, makes sense. Have you tried this... Backup your source sd card to your computer and then copy those files to the micro sd card of the target console (wipe this target sd card first). Then put the micro sd back into the n3ds and try that

I did, but I didn't put the data from source to N3DS Micro SD Card.

Then do that.

Do that. Pretty sure that'll fix your problems

What if my N3DS stuck with the Nintendo 3DS folder that from the start generated?
Is from the Walmart Black Friday and indeed I did the initial setup before using the transfer since it was with nothing, I didn't format and continued to the System Transfer.

It transferred all the folders from the Source 3DS but my N3DS ignored it and still keep using the N3DS generated Nintendo 3DS folder.

It work for me by doing a full transfer. Not a selective but a full! Took 3 hours. Now I will check so it didn't copy my SD card, if so.... god dang it! Time to delete all the dangerous OTP stuff so my N3DS doesn't die.

Though I believe it won't restore the hax'd save file for Four Swords as it's not stored on the SD, defeating the point of having performed the system transfer in the first place.

I don't know what this question means. You should have backed up the data from both SD cards. Just try copying over the source's SD card data to the target's SD card and see what happens.

Maybe try replacing the contents of the 3ds folder within the random number/letter folders?

Don't do this. Just wipe the target's SD (make a backup if you haven't already) and copy the source's SD data backup to the target's SD.

Honestly I don't think either will work as the new 3ds has already associated itself with a different 3ds folder...

It should work fine with the source system's Nintendo 3DS folder (due to the system transfer), as otherwise PC-based transfers wouldn't work.

When I did my system transfer it asked me if I wanted to transfer DSiWare games and I said yes, then it copied them to my sd card and when I put the sd card in my new 3ds is installed it from the sd card

It could actually work (I'm transferring the sd's files.) but there's a thing,

my 2DS still had the NNID when I checked and when I log on, it said that it was already in another console. So I unlinked it with X + Y and injected nnidsave.bin

the n3DS tho...

The N3DS never got any NNID so I linked it manually.

I agree, but it didn't work for me when I DSiWare downgraded. The only way to getting it to work was putting the source sd card straight into the target 3ds (which OP can't do as he is using a full size sd card on his 2ds)

@KytuzuEX Did you go through this process?

There is no functional difference between doing this and transferring the SD card's data.
