Hacking Transferring from EmuNand on Old3DS to B9S on New3DS

[AlexShannon]

Yep that should work - I only ever used tikShop in my own transfers but I don't see why backing up the tickets on the source and restoring them on the target wouldn't work (I have been telling people to do that and no one has come back and complained that it didn't work).

Okay, what exactly do you use tikShop for in transferring?

installing tickets on the target so pirated games show up.

So does it have anything to do with transferring Homebrew software from one system to the other?

Yes, because after you do a system transfer, the pirated games from the source won't show on the home menu of the target until you reinstall the tickets.

I got that, I'm wondering about stuff like Themely, FBI, JKSM, etc.

The only things that will appear are titles legitimately gotten from the eShop. So homebrew programs will need to be reinstalled, or the tickets backed up and reinstalled.

So how do I back those tickets up? I should mention that I have made fullbackups and clones of both cards.

System transfer successful, but for some reason my installation of the CIA version of the Limited Edition of Fire Emblem Fates isn't showing up, even after I restored everything. It shows up in JKSM though....
Also, is there a way to keep my old 3DS from formatting itself after the transfer?

If it shows up on JKSM, can you extract the save and reinstall it, then import the save again?
No, but you can restore a pre-transfer NAND backup to make it go back to how it was (minus NNID).

Be somewhat difficult to do that since I've never played it. Guess I need to undo the back again and reinstall the CIA. Good god this is some bad design.

Gotcha, I've got a bunch of sysNAND backups of it, but from the sound of that, I'd be better off starting from scratch, since I'm planning to use it as an experimental system to implement new updates/mods/etc on before I use it on my New3DS.

You could use the inbuilt SD manager utility to move the file onto your SD card, without needing to unscrew the back cover.

I think the problem is the fact that it's a dump of a physical-only game which doesn't have a ticket for eShop download. Everything else has worked fine so far.

Eh, it kind of worked.

It dumped all non-system titles to the homescreen and wrapped them up with pretty red bows. I Wish I'd saved my layout before the transfer, but I forgot the feature even existed.

Like OP, my personal dump of FE Fates disappeared, along with a couple of ROMhacks and a sole homebrew app (not sure why).

Aside from that, all went smoothly. Thanks for your help!

I ran into the exact same problem with FE Fates SE, along with a couple of ROMhacks and a single homebrew app. I'm not sure why exactly, but it's definitely not solely because it's a cart only release.

I wound up installing the undubbed fan translation to replace the retail version. Like you, I wish I'd saved my layout.
