I'm back! Got A9HL properly installed!
This time, I could buy/run/exploit Fieldrunners properly, everything went fine.
Now I'm doing the transfer, and I noticed in the guide...
  • Move DSiWare titles if prompted!
  • Do NOT delete the source system's SD card contents if prompted
Thing is, I never saw any of these prompts.
I'm already transferring via wireless (there was an option for 'all data', so I chose that one).
Kinda nervous that I'm wasting my time - when are these prompts supposed to appear?

Thanks!

Sorry to bother on this post but I just signed up to ask if there is a way you could message me. I'm interested in a N3ds xl downgrade.. I'm on 11.1U. Don't know if downgrade is still possible, but if it is I'd like to know pricing.. And how I get my console to you. Thanks in advance. Will be looking forward to a response.

Ok, this is frustrating. I did not get the DSIWare prompt.
I can't find fieldrunners on my New3DS after transfer. :(
Any idea what I did wrong?? I did purchase a valid copy and tested the exploit... everything worked.
That "failed dsiware" system transfer happens sometime.

You can download fieldrunners from the target 3DS eshop then follow the instructions below.

After doing the DSiWare Downgrade, my hacked save is gone
  1. If you don't have the game at all, link the NNID you bought the game with to 3DS #2 and download it on 3DS #2
  2. On 3DS #1, do DSiWare Downgrade - Section III - Installing the save
  3. On 3DS #1, go to System Settings, "Data Management", "DSiWare", then copy your DSiWare game to your SD card
  4. Either put 3DS #1's SD card in 3DS #2, or rename the Nintendo 3DS on 3DS #2's SD card and copy the Nintendo 3DS folder from 3DS #1's SD card to 3DS #2's SD card
  5. On 3DS #2, go to System Settings, "Data Management", "DSiWare", then copy your DSiWare game to the system
  6. Return your SD cards to normal, then continue with the DSiWare Downgrade

Alright. Reporting back - I renamed the 'Nintendo 3DS' folder on on my New3DS (where I want Fieldrunners to move to) to a different name.
On my other OG 3DS, I copied Fieldrunners with working exploit to the SD card.
Then, I moved the OG3DS 'Nintendo 3DS' folder to the microSD of my New 3DS.

When I try to copy DSIWare from the SD card, it won't any!
Any idea why??

For additional information:
I have installed a non-legit USA version of Fieldrunners before (long story to explain why, still had sys-emunand setup without a9hl back then).
Since then, though, I have formatted the data from the settings menu.
In TWL-NAND, there's only one '4b464456' folder (EU) when I copied the exploit save.

Ok, I tried it again now.
Copy source 3DS (with Fieldrunners) 'Nintendo 3DS' folder to the target 3DS.
Target 3DS can't find any DSIWare...?
