- What makes me think I have MenuHax? Probably because I have MenuHax that boots into Luma. I have not updated in years! I'm still on 11.1.0-34U. Hence why I asked about updating my CFW.
Man, I wish Citra supported plugins; the ones developed for the Pokemon games (particularly Ultra Sun/Moon) were amazing, and their functionality hasn't been duplicated via cheats.
I also wish plugins worked on recent firmwares, come to think...

So if install CFW to my old 3DS JP can i just transfer my save file to Region Changed 3DS without eshop??
Yes, if both systems have cfw, meaning the one you dump the save from, and the one you'll restore the save to. Yes, you don't need the eShop in this process. The software that you'll be using is Checkpoint or jksm.

Why are you asking that here when you have a whole thread about it already?
https://gbatemp.net/threads/cfw-on-emulator.634648/
I need to view a thread on the r/3dshacks subreddit titled "A Technical Overview of the 3DS Operating System."
This is one of the most, if not the most, upvoted posts on the sub. Unfortunately, the community went private to protest Reddit's decision to kill 3rd party apps. When I try to access the specific post, I'm greeted with a message saying the mods won't consider any requests to join. (The message also implies that the community will remain private unless Reddit rolls back its API access fee decision.)
If anyone here is a member of r/3dshacks, I would greatly appreciate them for copying the post and pasting it here. I don't need the entire thread, but highly upvoted comments which correct elements of OP's main post would also be helpful (assuming there are such comments).
If there are other resources for in-depth details about the 3DS operating system, I would be grateful to anyone who referred me to them.
Thank you very much!

I don't think I've ever seen that post before..? Regardless, archive.org is your friend.

Also I expect everything there is at https://www.3dbrew.org already. (You did try Googling, I hope?)

If not, don't, unless you're on New 3DS. Getting custom firmware is hard on the latest firmware on Old 3DS.
I find it hard to believe this hasn't been answered, but i searched and searched and couldn't find anything, so apologies if i just missed it:
Soon after successfully installing cfw etc, I upgraded my SD card by copy/pasting into a newly formatted card. The 3ds read it perfectly. I recently upgraded again via the same method. While I was doing it windows prompted me to either skip or "try again" with a file that had been "externally modified" i believe the term was. I just clicked try again, but if was strange. Now my SD card has my theme, Ds games (installed with NDS forwarder), but none of my digital 3ds games except the ones I purchased via eShop before cfw. This would not be a problem, except the space of those games seems to still be occupying my SD card. Has anyone run into this?
Edit: i looked in FBI to see if i could find the files but nada. If i knew where 3ds games get installed on the SD card I'd be willing to delete them manually and start over

This is why I always suggest copying files using Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier instead of Windows.
If you still have your old SD card, then i suggest formatting your new SD card, testing the empty card with h2testw (always a good idea), and then copying all the files again, taking particular note of the ones that are problematic.
You can try running Faketik, which is used to restore tickets for apps installed via FBI (usually after a System Transfer), but even if that works, you run the risk of something else going wrong later.
Thanks! I'll see about using fake til. Other than that, any way I can manually delete the files?
Edit: faketik doesn't work. My only hope would be to delete it manually, if that's even possible without messing anything up. I'll remember roadkill's copier for next go round. I appreciate the info!

I feel like you only read part of my post? That is very discouraging.

Just because it didn't work the first time doesn't mean it won't work if you try again with Unstoppable Copier. Or do you not have your old SD card anymore?
Okay, so... circumstances had me finally pick up a 128gb microSD to replace the 32gb I was using in my N3DS.
made a point to have two sd readers, put one in each, and bulk copy the data from one to the other. I made a point to wait until the copy was complete, then safely remove both drives in Windows. but now, booting from the new SD, the n3DS wants to say that it can't detect the sd card is in there.

I did indeed read your whole post. The only previous SD card I have is the original 4gb one. It wouldn't have helped in my predicament exactly. The other one i upgraded to i messed up in a ham-fisted early attempt to resolve this issue (basically i formatted it, used windows to try to copy everything back, it didn't work. Yes, I was dumb, it was like 2 in the morning).
So I apologize for not responding to every component of your post, but i tried everything that was relevant, then acknowledged that i could, in the future, do it in the method you mentioned. Although to be fair, i only alluded to it and didn't reference it in detail according to how you presented it.
I really appreciate your help and i can definitely see how my response, in the manner it was given, could have led you to believe that I didn't read your post carefully. In fact, i self-conciousely edited my post to include mention of some (though admittedly, not all) of the other things you mentioned.
I'm aware that this very long response might not come out how i intend so I'll just say: i intend it to come out as appreciation for your time and help, and an acknowledgement of my perhaps slightly careless response to it.
Post automatically merged:
You formatted the 128g to fat32 right? Windows explorer doesn't want to do that with a 128 gig, so you'd need to use another formatting tool.Okay, so... circumstances had me finally pick up a 128gb microSD to replace the 32gb I was using in my N3DS.

If you didn't, then that's your issue. Reformatting it and copying it (apparently using Unstoppable Copier, which Kwyjor just made me aware of) should set you on your way
