Hacking What if you did a NAND backup then system transfer?

[GoldenSun3DS]

I just thought of something.

What if you backed up your NAND, then did a system transfer to another 3DS, then reloaded it?
Would you have the digital games still?

IIRC if you go online the games will disappear.

But what if you stayed offline?

Then they should stay as well, I suppose. If you want 2 copies of your eShop games/demos you could try it

I do not know. You should ask in the 3ds xl hand dumping thread.

Well I haven't been on this site in awhile and can't even use a Gateway (my 3DS is on the latest firmware), but when I saw someone post about reloading the NAND to get around demo limits, it made me think of this.

Your answer was actually on the last posts of that thread...

well, im not sure.... but i think the NAND backup now belongs to the other 3DS you transfered your old one to.

The tickets for downloaded games are stored in NAND. When you do a system transfer you move the tickets from one system to the next, but doing a restore to a pre-transfer NAND image will restore the tickets and allow you to access games on both systems. Going to the e-shop however will revoke the tickets on the old system.

There are pictures of this on the NAND backup thread.
