I heard you can only perform 5 times a system transffer on 1 3DS.
Is this correct?

So a few other questions related:
- So if i transffer emunand to sysnand, does that count as 1 transffer on the 3DS with emunand?
- Can it be resset by doing a system format?
- Is there a way to do more then 5 transffers per system if you can't resset it?

Thanks

[EDIT]
So i system transffered a 2DS (Sysnand 9.6) to 3DS (rxTools Emunand 9.6) without a problem, i now have to wait 7 days for the next system transffer. To be clear, my 3DS is sysnand 4.5.

All on a new clean SD with a fresh emunand, so after i took everything out, i placed my old SD with emunand 9.5 in it and it gave an error (will take a screenshot later (my 3ds is busy right now)) I assume this error is cause of the system transffer, the nnid that was transffered from the 2DS is now linked to the 3DS, so the old SD with my nnid linked on it will not work anymore.

Sorry for double posting, but to answer my own question
- Originally, Nintendo had limited the maximum number of times that you could transfer licenses/move data from one 3DS to another but has since then removed that limitation. So you can upgrade without any worries. There is, however, a seven-day transfer lock-out; so you can only do one transfer a week.

- You cannot transfer data from a New 3DS / 3DS XL to a standard 3DS. However, you can contact Nintendo customer service and have them do the transfer for you.

- When you first boot up your New 3DS, you should NOT create a new Nintendo Network ID (NNID). The NNID from your old 3DS will overwrite any NNID on the New 3DS.

- The transfer will move your downloaded content, save data, your NNID (if used), friends list, Nintendo eShop balance, and purchase history (including themes).

- Any preinstalled software on the new device can be redownloaded from the eShop without the need of an NNID. It is pre-registered to the device ID -- thus, you can just sign in to the eShop and redownload it even on a fresh, new microSD card. So you will not lose, say, Monster Hunter 4 on the MH-themed New 3DS, due to a transfer.

Does anyone know if Nintendo allows you to transfer _TO_ one 3DS twice (from two different 3DS's) within the seven day time window? Obviously, the information from the first 3DS would be erased.

    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
