Yeah I have an old 3DS running MT EmuNAND. Can I just follow this guide: https://gbatemp.net/threads/importing-gateway-saves-to-cia-games.425743/

Another question, once I've converted all the save files from my old EmuNAND 3DS to my newer CFW 3DS, is it possible to install CFW on that old 3DS that is already running EmuNAND?
after you converted all the saves etc and you are fine with the old system not needing MT-Card anymore

you can look at
https://3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(mset)
since the SysNAND is most likely 4.0-4.5

then you can use the EmuNAND and update it,
or transfer the EmuNAND over your SysNAND then format your SD card without EmuNAND to free up some space etc

Hi all,

Long time away from the forum.

I have just upgraded my 3DS to boot9strap from a previous emunand install.

I still have the same SD Card with all games installed via CIA to the Nintendo 3ds folder.
Can I reinstall the games from this folder without having to install via CIA?

TIA.

Okay, so I tried to follow this guide to export my MT Card saves to my CIA games. But I'm running into a problem, the guide asks that you put your Gateway (in my case MT-Card) into the system and choose the game you want to copy the save from. Since I am trying to copy saves from an older 3DS system with 4.4 to a new 3DS system running 11.6 CFW, I can't do this. Is there any other way I can copy these save files?

do you still have access to the EmuNAND (Hold L while turning on your 3ds)

it's very confusing to do the save etc, but it can be done, when you convert the saves with JKSM, they are not encrypted, so you can transfer them to any system, them use JKSM on that system to encrypt them to the new system

How do I convert the saves then? I have my sav file aptly named on the root of my SD card, but I can't seem to do anything with it in JK's Save Manager. If I go to the 3DS game I want it implemented in it doesn't show up.

in JKSM you choose the first one, it should be Game Card in red on bottom screen

you need to insert your MT-Cart and select the game you want to backup via the MT Menu then you load JKSM
Yes, which I can't. Because the MT Card only works on <4.5 and on EmuNAND, which are on my old system. I'm trying to get the saves on my new CFW system that runs 11.6 and thus cannot use the MT card.

you are SOL then, you cannot do it without access to the MT menu etc, you may be able to find someone with a working Gateway setup to help you, but it's a long and annoying process

Then how is the entire process possible in the first place? Once you install CFW to access JKSM you usually upgrade to 11.5 or 11.6, on which MT nor Gateway work afaik.
