Can I DSiware hack my JP N2DSLL with hacked US O2DS? I read they have to be the same region, but is there a way yo change the region of the hacked o2ds?
You can change the region, but there's been no reports of a successful system transfer using a region changed system.

Is it possible to play ds games on Gateway, sky3ds or SD card?

I want to play ds games for the cheapest prize possible while playing 3ds roms from the same cart without getting banned from online if possible. Is it possible to do it? Or should I but 2 carts, one for nds and the other for 3ds? I want to test the ds download play functionality which is not achieveable in emulation.
You need a DS flashcart, you can't play DS games on a 3DS flashcart. If you have a Gateway anyway it probably came with a blue cartridge, this is a DS flashcart and you can play DS games with it. However it will only work under 7.x firmware unless you use a CFW.

So theres a "data" folder in my "3ds" folder which actually shows up in homebrew as "data" lol. Now in this data folder are 2 folders: cthulu and freeshop. Is this normal? Should this 'data' folder be in my "3ds" folder?

can i buy a (old)2ds and put CFW on it and system transfer to NEW 2DSXL for CFW like from 3ds.guide ?
But, my real question is can I still play game backups from the soundhax hack on 11.0 firm or is it homebrew only?

SoundHax is for homebrew only, and you only use it temporarily to install CFW. Once you have CFW you can install stuff directly to your home menu and you won't be using the homebrew menu again except if there is a homebrew that isn't released in cia form (so you can install it).

I have seen that new 2ds xl comes with 11.4 firmware I would like to be able to put free games for my bro on it do you know if really n2dsxl comes with 11.4? should I buy him the regular 2ds instead? is it possible to get cfw kernel and something like priiloader on firmware 11.4? I have never had a 3ds I see some stuff but i am afraid everything is outdated on the 3dsguide site it doesn't say anything on n2dsxl section on 11.4 fw I am only experienced with wii / vwii / wiiu homebrew stuff

Yes, the N2DSXL comes on 11.4 and you'll need a second console on CFW already or hardmod to install CFW on it. See https://3ds.guide. It's up to date.

oh I see and I need to purchase a game (on that 3ds with cfw) to do it right? and if required to update to 11.5 or it isn't needed? maybe I could borrow a o3ds that I think has older fw but if I do a 3ds transfer how will I get everything back to my friend's 3ds ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if I do it with the official way if possible it won't be suspicious for nintendo? what could I say to them to transfer everything back? (talking about nnid /eshop transfer)
or if it's possible to make the saves transfer without the need of contact to nintendo and maybe installing for free the game on that o3ds I am talking about and purchasing just on the n2dsxl I want to buy...
I really don't know how all this transfer works and etc
what u advise me to do better? to keep that old 3ds data untouched or restore and transfer these exploited saves

In the middle of last year I installed Luma on my N3DS. I haven't updated it for a very long time now. A few months ago I remember reading an article about a new 3DS hack that changes something in all custom firmwares. Because of this there are a few extra steps for me to follow next time I update.

So how do I safely update?

You can't transfer the NNID back to the old 3DS so it will be stuck permanently on the N2DSXL. Unless you call Nintendo and agree to move it back. You can get your data back by restoring a NAND backup after the transfer (as the guide tells you to). Just make sure to follow the guide 100%.

You only need it on the system that already has cfw
omg that's cool but I can transfer everything back with the same way on my friend's 3ds? I'm gonna search how this process is done and the requirements and etc

hmm do you think they will accept it? I mean nintendo
if they link it back to the old 3ds I can restore data from the back up with no problem I guess right? but if they won't link it back then there is problem restoring the data and creating a new nnid for my friend? I am just asking coz if data is linked with the nnid then there should be problem if that nnid isn't on the old 3ds..

You can always make a new NNID (just format and make a new one) and the CFW console can always recover the data (restore NAND backup and SD card contents).

Can anyone give me some clarity on system transfers? I have a hacked 2ds, on 11.5, bs9. I'm getting a n3ds today, it has 11.0 on it. I want to xfer from 2ds to n3ds because I don't feel like calling nintendo to unlink me. Should I hack the n3ds first, get it up to 11.5, then system xfer? I ASSUME this is what I have to do, as I have ASSUMED you cannot simply "transfer the hack", if that makes sense. Either way, my main concern is making sure that I get the n3ds hacked before doing any updates do it. If you all think its easier to just set up n3ds on its on and call nintendo, i'll do that route as in my noob state it's the more sure bet. But figured I'd try and get some guidance.

Hack it first, update, then transfer

@Geoffries Yea hack your new 3ds first after that do a system transfer. I would backup everything on your 2ds before doing system transfer. You won't need to contact Nintendo since your system transfer will unlink your niid from your 2ds. Do a pc system transfer A WAY lot faster than doing wireless transfer if you have a lot of stuff.
