Stupid question incoming! I have a digital Monster Hunter Generations gamesave on a non-modded 3DS. Is it possible to take that gamesave off the microSD, copy it over to a microSD on a modded 3DS and import it? My ultimate goal is to take my MHGen gamesave that's on a non-modded 3DS and convert it to MHX so I can then move it to MHXX w/ english patch and bounce it back & forth with the upcoming Japanese Switch version. I know if I was really desperate I could do a system transfer of the entire 3DS over to the modded 3DS but I rather keep all my legit stuff untouched. Any way to just transfer the game save?
Two options.Hi guys.
I’m a total noob here. I tried searching through the CFW Guide but something’s not totally clear to me.
I’ve run some searches in here too, but I either find posts from 2015 which are totally outdated now or addressing issues not quite like mine, so I’m sorry if this has already come out before and ask if you kindly could point me in the right direction to find a thorough explanation.
This is my issue: I have an o3DS with b9s. I followed the guide, did all the steps, installed Luma3DS, updated to 8.1 and now it’s running on SysNAND with System Update 11.5.0-38E. Everything works fine, but the thing is: that’s not my main 3DS.
All my games, my saves, my Miis, badges, themes and NNID are on a new 3DS XL which runs stock 11.4.0-37E firmware.
Unfortunately I came too late to the CFW scene; had I been here before April update to 11.4, I could have just hacked directly my n3DS XL from 11.3; I also had an old 3DS still on 9.2, though, which I was able to hack quite easily following the guide, as I said.
My point is: I understand the only way (other than waiting for NTRboothax) to hack my n3DSXL now is through DSIWarehax, which requires a system transfer from my already hacked o3DS, in order to have a modified save file for one of the supported DSiWare games on the n3DSXL.
What I don’t really get completely is how do I prevent my data (save files, Miis, Themes, badges, NNID) from being totally wiped out from the target n3DSXL by said system transfer; or, more correctly, I do I restore them after the transfer.
1) The saves are encrypted with a key tied to the n3DSXL. If I save the on my PC and then system transfer, will the key be changed so that moving back the save/extra data from the PC backup would do nothing? How could I decrypt them first If I can’t run JKFM on the stock FW n3DSXL?
2) The NNID from the o3DS will be transferred to the n3DSXL; how do I restore my former (main) NNID on the n3DSXL so that I can download all my stuff again (ambassador program games and eShop bought 3DS games)?
I know I can restore my o3DS to what it was before the system transfer just by backing up and restoring the NAND, but I’m more interested in restoring all the stuff on the target n3DSXL after the system transfer, without losing current data and NNID but with CFW installed in SysNAND.
Thank you to everyone who could clear all this stuff out.
Did you delete the NNID? That would be permanent. But it usually gives you a lot of warnings beforehand so it would be hard to do it accidentally.
Two options.
1. Get homebrew on the 11.4 N3DS by following one of the exploits in https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(alternatives). You'll be able to back up your game saves with JKSM and possibly your activity log with Chuthulu. I don't think you can back up Mii Plaza or your friend data.
2. Obtain a spare N3DS. Update to 11.5 and transfer to the spare first, wait seven days, then do the normal DSiWare hax to install CFW on the N3DS. Wait another seven days then transfer back from the spare to the N3DS. You won't lose anything, it will just take a while.
In terms of your NNID and downloading your Ambassador games again, option 2 will fix that and for option 1, format the console then sign back into the original NNID (after installing CFW).
Yep you can do that too, if it's only the data you're attached to not the console. And of course you could do this then wait 7 days, and transfer to your original N3DS and hack it as well. And yep, CFW consoles stay CFW, and stock ones stay stock, until CFW is installed, despite transfers.Thank you man, you’ve been very helpful.
For option 2, I presume that buying a new n3DSXL which is running pre 11.4 stock firmware, installing CFW on it and then system transfer from my main n3DSXL to the new (hacked) one and use it as my main from then on will also work, won’t it?
Transferring from a stock system to a CFW one wouldn’t remove the CFW from the target, am I right?
Thank you again man. You definitely shed somebody light on some obscure details that weren’t clear for me.Yep you can do that too, if it's only the data you're attached to not the console.

Yes. It only works on 11.3 and below.Thank you again man. You definitely shed somebody light on some obscure details that weren’t clear for me.
Just one more thing : can’t just use oothax to load HBL on my stock 11.4 n3DSXL and use bs9installer from there, right? Access to arm9 from HBL was patched in 11.4, right?

freeShop is safe and no one has gotten banned from using it directly. Wherever you heard that from is giving you false information.Is freeshop safe to use? I heard people were getting banned for having it? does anyone else use it and can confirm this?
Also CIAangel won't update does anyone know why? it just stays stuck at the wings.json screen.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, from what I understand, you are wondering how you can to the DSiWare Save Injection hack on your n3DSxl? If so then the first step when doing so on 3ds.guide (which is a great website by the way, it's stupid proof, check it out!) is installing GodMode9 and doing a sysnand backup (basically a backup of your entire system data, this includes Miis, Themes, Basically everything) Then later in the guide after B9S is installed, you restore the sysnand backup and all your stuff is there. I'm not so sure about the NNID because I never did the DSiWare method, but when I hacked my 3ds my NNID was still there and was unchanged.
TL;DR "You do a full (sysnand) backup and after your 3ds is hacked you restore said backup"
Edit: Or as you said in your post, wait for NTRboothax, It's really up to you.
Hope this helped!

Is there a way to tell if a nand backup is from your system or not?
I'm going to send my console to be repared, and I'm afraid that they just change the motherboard without me noticing.
Thank you
