Unless you're running a full cfw, there is no way to import a gba save. Also, if your firmware is 11.3 and under, I would highly suggest installing the cfw now rather than later. I mention my reasoning here:
My point is that since cfw takes literal minutes to install, you should just get it over with now since there isn't anything to lose.
May be... When I injected the RBY saves, it wasn't the same. I'll find an entrypoint and I'll try, thanks
Out of curiosity, why don't you want to install CFW?
your going to need to use tool to convert Emulator Saves for Gen II from an Emulator they wont work right out the door. https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/1256-save-converter-for-gen-ii-vc-games/ and this should also do the trick, http://gbatemp.net/threads/save-fix-pokemon-gen-2-emulator-save-to-virtual-console-fix.471057/ was able to import my Physical Cart's save that way (ala Retron5 Dump)May be... When I injected the RBY saves, it wasn't the same. I'll find an entrypoint and I'll try, thanks
Ah I see, we're talking about the dsi method. If that's the case, what 2 models are the 3ds consoles. If they're either both o3ds's or n3ds's, you can just transfer to the hacked one, and then transfer back. If you use any other method, nothing is lost whatsoever.
It is true for the dsi method, which the op seems to be using.
If you system transfer from one 3ds to another, the target 3ds loses all content in favor of the source 3ds. Game saves, nnid, eShop history, mii plaza etc.
Well the guide has you backup your game saves. I guess the rest might be a big deal for some, it wasn't for me. I hardly noticed which is why I didn't think you lost anything(other than game saves which the guide has you backup).
In that case I recommend using the ntrboot method. It's easier than dsiware and won't wipe the system, all it requires is a compatible flashcart (around $20) and once all is said and done you can use the flashcart for DS games so it's useful anyway.
If the target console has a NNID attached it will be formatted during the transfer.
True, but then the source will be formatted instead.
