Homebrew Small question about copying saves.

[Anthus]

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but this seemed appropriate. I have two 3DSs with CFW, and I am wondering if it is possible to transfer saves between the hacked systems. I don't think a regular system transfer will work, cause of the hacked nature of the systems. There are really only two games I care about on my old 3DS. Pokemon X, and Tri-Force Heroes. Is there a way to copy the saves (or, the whole games, I guess) to my new 3DS?

Another unrelated question, can I copy the required CFW files from one SD card to another and use it in my hacked 3DS for extra storage? The scenario here is, I have a 16GB card that is full, and am wondering if the files can be copied so I can put the CFW stuff, and more games on a second card?

Thanks for your help, and a special thanks to the guys who made this stuff possible. You have done an amazing job with these hacks, and opened the door to play a lot of games I couldn't otherwise. Thanks, and keep up the good work, guys, I mean it.

Yep, this is the DS and DSi section

It should (especially if you are running your cfw in sysnand), but a smarter alternative is to use a save manager, like JKSV

can I copy the required CFW files from one SD card to another and use it in my hacked 3DS for extra storage?

Yes but using multiple SDs is not recommended; better to just buy one large enough and just copy all files to the new one (assuming you don't have an emunand)

yes use jksm to backup the save then restore it on the new system (the games will transfer as long as the tickets installed (hint: if it shows up it does but not the homebrew apps) so you likely wont have to)
you can use all the files besides "/arm9loaderhax.bin and /files9/ and /Nintendo 3DS/" as the first two wont work with a different system and the last one is useless after system transfer

Thanks for the quick replies, guys.

That's good to know, I'll look into JKSM, and I found a thread for it here too. That's also good to know about using multiple SD cards. I kind of suspected it wouldn't be recommended, so I'll probably steer clear for now, at least till I become more comfortable with this stuff, or when I get a bigger SD card. I really truly don't need that much more space anyway, I can make do if I delete some stuff. Thanks again, everyone!

ive found it to work perfectly, and its the most reccomended save manager, but your choice is yours ^^
