I installed A9LH and Luma3DS on the original SD card my XL came with. But I'm getting a bigger one (32 or 64 GB) later this week and was wondering how to transfer my things to the new SD card.

Is it as easy as just copy+paste? Will it also transfer any CIAs I installed or is that a separate step?

I was just about to ask a very similar question. I've installed A9LH, Luma3DS, FBI, and Freeshop, but want to upgrade to a larger SD card. What's the process for transferring? Will I keep all those programs or do I have to do reinstalling/downloading?

I did a bit of research and many people do say that if you followed Plailect's guide (I did) you should be on sysNAND. That means you can just copy and paste everything to the other SD card.

I just need some more details if it really is just a drag and drop... if so than I need to stop overthinking things :/

Backup all the content on X card (smaller), then with Y card (bigger one) format to FAT32 then make a backup of the content from X card on your PC, after you've formatted Y Card drag and drop the content from the smaller one onto the bigger one and you're done~

Is it really that simple?! Damn. Does the formatting apply to an O3DS? I heard Micro SD cards are very different. I wanted to make sure you were referring to an old 3DS.

But if that's all it takes, thank you! I feel more comfortable now upgrading.

Vice versa applies to both :) I hope it made sense >< you're welcome!

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
