I didn't reformat the SD card, so technically, the emunand should still be there right? Wasn't able to boot the homebrew launcher so I didn't bother backing up the emunand in the end.
And it's a big ouch on the save files, since I redownloaded both Animal Crossing and Majora's to see if the transfer worked proper.

It's a mess, I backed up the 4GB n3ds card and just took the 64GB one and switched it in the n3ds. But I have all this data from the old games on it and without really knowing how to delete the games from it, or at least nothing major...
What would be the best way to clean the SD card and losing as less as possible?
Do you have a backup of your emuNAND from before you transferred? That would be the easiest way. Restore that (either to sysNAND or emuNAND, whichever), put the unaltered SD card contents back, boot it up, and back up all your saves using JKSM. You can then restore these on the target also using JKSM (just copy over the JKSM folder that gets created when you backup your saves, run JKSM and import the saves).
If you don't, then put the SD card contents on the target console, and run tikShop to reinstall any tickets you are missing (only for games of your region on the titlekeys database - if you installed out of region games, find them on the titlekeys database site, show the QR code for them, scan with FBI under remote install -> QR code, decline to install from cdn or else the save file will be erased).

Yes you can follow
You might like to first make a backup of your emuNAND and SD card contents (I think the guide doesn't make you do this) so you can guarantee losing no data (if something goes wrong).

will this make my sysnand the same version as my emunand? will it consume space also? i've got like 1GB free space because of the games installed. If that's the case maybe i'll just stick on using emunand.

One more question, does Free shop have all the games? Recently ive searched HM Sky tree Village but it is not available on the Free shop, or is it that my Free shop is not updated?
Thank you for all your Help.

It will mean you'll get an extra one or two GB.
FreeShop has only the games on the titlekeys database, which requires people to buy games on the eShop and share the titlekeys. You can check on the titlekeys database website to see if the game is there. If it isn't, then nobody has bought and shared it yet.

Guys I bought a new "New 3DS XL (North America) yesterday, I have two questions:

1) Is this A9 or B9? Because It only has FBI but not Luma? What other things do I need to install?

2) For installing 3DS games, should I use FBI (downloading CIA on computer then move to SD card) or Freeshop? The first method takes forever to download but the second method can get banned!? :huh: thxxx

Dude, Luma isn't on the home menu the thing you're talking about is the Luma updater. Anyway, hold select then press power and tell me what version of Luma you're on, then I can tell you if you have A9LH or B9S.

Um, both of those methods install CIAs the EXACT same way. Freeshop has absolutely no correlation to CFW bans. If you don't want to get banned, don't cheat online and don't play games before release date while connected to the internet. Other than that the reason behind CFW bans are all bullshit guesswork.

1. Yes you can uninstall it if you want to. Yes, all apps/games installed from CFW will be removed (well they will be installed but the tickets won't be legit so you couldn't play them) if you remove it (common sense really)
2. As long as you retain CFW, nothing will happen to your games/apps from updating. Luma has firmware protection so the console cannot get rid of CFW without your input.
3. It's recommended to update your console to the latest firmware after you successfully install CFW; yes. Also please don't use video guides use the guide here for the most recent and updated information. https://3ds.guide/
4. Yes a nand backup is a backup of your SysNAND.
5. There are direction for restoring a NAND backup on the same guide I linked. However, a NAND backup will not fix a BSOD, MCU or other hardware related bricks. A NAND backup is really a failsafe in case something becomes broken/incompatible; it's not really something that can restore a bricked console on it's own. You need access to the console to restore a NAND.

1. There is a guide, it's not a one step thing.
2. No, I already told you that (there are exceptions for legit .CIAs that come pre-installed on consoles). Those tickets "may" be signed correctly and still be useable after uninstalling CFW. There are only two I know of off the top of my head Mario Kart 7 and Pokemon Sun/Moon. Granted you would have to be 100% sure you installed the correct .CIA, else like I said it will remain installed but unplayable unless you buy it.
3. No, there is no 11.6 for one the newest is 11.5, and two you'll lose your chance to install CFW for free.
5. It is injecting a CIA into the Health and Safety app, usually reserved for title managers that allow you to install CIA files with a homescreen app. You can use FBI injected into H&S to install the FBI.cia, then you can restore Health and Safety if you choose.
