I'm running Luma 9.0 and my 3DS is on Ver 11.4.0-37U.

I know I need to update Luma first, but wanted to ask if its okay to use Universal Updater in this case? Or if I should update manually.

Decided to come back here and try solving my old problem from a new angle.

Is Extra Data extractable from an old gm9 backup? I have these files from my old 3DS under my old Nintendo ID account:
  • boot9.bin
  • 190414_NW10436403_sysnand_00.bin
  • 190414_NW10436403_sysnand_00.bin.sha
  • essential.exefs
I don't think there'd be any issue sharing those file names, but if there is, I'll edit them out ASAP.

I ended up making a new Nintendo ID way back in order to get a new name (outgrew my old cringe one). Anyway, I'm now trying to get my Persona Q map data from my old backup, and I think this is all I have to go on. Any luck, do you think? Thanks in advance!

I have a 3DS with 128GB SD card and I'm getting 3DS XL in mail next week, I have just start playing Pokémon ultra sun on 3DS and I don't want to start new game on 3DS XL when I'm getting it next week. It's it possible to transfer savefile from 3DS to another 3DS? Çan I just use same SD card I'm using on 3DS on 3DS XL?

On official firmware https://en-americas-support.nintend...ntendo-3ds,-nintendo-3ds-xl,-and-nintendo-2ds
On cfw use JKSM or something similar.

so i have a 3ds xl and a new 3ds LL and its been a long time since i played with it
the 3ds xl if i remember correctly is using gateway while the new 3ds LL i assume is running a cfw. how can i be sure what each one is running
one thing i notice on on my 3ds xl is that it when i powered it on without anything in the cartridge and left it alone it says corrupted memory and shuts down. maybe it was looking for the gateway cartridge(i dont know)? or something. but after a few restart it now doesnt do that anymore. is that a bad sign?
on my new 3ds LL everything is working but have no idea what cfw im using and how to updte everything.

what sd card size do you guys recommmend to use for these 2?

i took the sd out of my 3ds without knowing it was on. it said that i removed the sd, i powered off the console and reinserted the sd card. nothing should have happened right?

ps: the console was on the home screen doing nothing

I'm not sure what makes you think you need Extra Data, but that is typically stored encrypted on the SD card.

boot9.bin
That is a dump of the arm9 boot rom, It is not unique and an identical dump can be obtained from any 3DS.

190414_NW10436403_sysnand_00.bin
That is a NAND backup.
190414_NW10436403_sysnand_00.bin.sha
That is a hash of the NAND backup, used to make sure that the backup hasn't unexpectedly changed.

essential.exefs
That contains the most important parts of the NAND backup, including the encryption key.

Anyway, I'm now trying to get my Persona Q map data from my old backup, and I think this is all I have to go on.
You can use the encryption key to decrypt your old SD card data, but if you don't have anything else from your old SD card, then these files aren't going to do you much good.

So does it boot to the home menu or not?

Because that's where the map data is stored for Persona Q. I think I got rid of the old data, though, so I gave up soon after I posted. I suppose I'll go back to copying the maps by hand. LOL.

Shouldn't have done anything wrong if it was just sat on the home screen.

    @Veho, Wdym? You read anything new?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I don't know if they're new, but I've read Shibuya Goldfish, Starving Anonymous, Tokyo Underworld (Shin Tokyo), Pumpkin Night, and Ajin. What's been released so far.

    Oh nice. Never read those titles before.

    Least its better than nothing, could be worst. You could be watching an entire series for days lol.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Shibuya Goldfish, starts off fine, meanders off into bullshit. Shin Tokyo, same. Starving Anonymous doesn't know where it's going from the start and is overall meh. Pumpkin Night is a parody of slasher horrors and the first volume is fun. Then it goes downhill.
    +1
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It emulates slasher franchises in that the first movie is semi-plausible but then in the sequels the killer is some immortal unkillable thing, then they retcon the origin story, then there's cults, demons, government involvement, and everything kind of goes sideways.

    And the manga does all that but it stops being a parody and starts just playing it straight.

    There are two-three scanlations out there done by, let's say, drastically different people.

    Multiplayer could be fun, as long as it's asymmetrical and you don't have 20 Michael Myerses running around the level.
