So I'm with a O3DS that came with New Super Mario Brothers 2 on a Toshiba SD.

But I want to use a bigger SD on this console, there's any way to transfer my game to another SD card?

I've already trying copying the files to the other SD but that didn't work.

If I access the eshop I will be able to link the game to my account?

Thanks!

usually it would work by just transfering the whole old sd card to the new one.
but it messes up if you inserted the new (empty) sd card before you move all the files over

By insert, you mean, put the SD Card on the 3DS before making the transfer right?
I've trying formating the SD card and transfering the backup again, but this didn't solved the problem...
Well since I've installed a CFW, I think I will go ahead and install a CIA file, since I've owned the game before :P

Thanks for the reply!

Just enter eShop again and go to the game, then redownload
a pre-installed game is not linked to your NNID, but to your console ID
That's why it will not show up in your game list you can redownload, just search for the game in eShop and then you will see that you can redownload it.

    I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Hope you've had a good morning.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    It's going alright thanks :) I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days.

    I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

    How are you doing?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There's also this thing where I'm hyperfocused at night and cannot get to sleep.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, I'm doing alright, thanks.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
