Question about 3DS save game files

I just got myself a New 3DS. After some extensive perusing of the GBATemp Wiki, I decided to get a Sky3DS+. Now, being the impatient person I am, I went ahead and borrowed my friends extra N3DS to play A Link Between Worlds (eShop version) while I waited for Fedex. I have now received my Sky3DS+ and would like to return my friends 3DS to him (his sister is rather annoying). Here is my question. How do I go about moving the savegame from my friends 3DS SD card to my Sky3DS+. I tried simply copying the .SAV file from his SD card, but that was a bust. I am assuming the boys at Nintendo decided to encrypt the save files on the 3DS SD card. Is there a way to convert the file to a format that the Sky3DS can read? Or will I be replaying ALBW from scratch?

no, it's not formatted partition ...if it's unallocated...i won't do that...anyway my microsd use to setup is 4GB, before i format and merge unallocation, it only have 2.3GB, i copy emunand_original.bin (1.9GB) only 300MB+ left... how i can continue ?

Get an actually relevant SD card.

Get an actually relevant SD card.

MicroSD 4GB cause problems from section 4 part 4.....so we just need restore sysnand_original.bin (after restored - delete it) then backup all stuff on microsd - use 3ds multi nand to format and open emunand_original.bin to write (because once you finish step restore sysnand - you dont have space to restore emunand (error 80% file too small)

so after Launch the homebrew launcher from the home menu icon at least once to download the payload
and
" If everything has gone according to plan, arm9loaderhax will be installed to your device, your EmuNAND will have been copied to your SysNAND, you will no longer need EmuNAND, you will have a CIA installer, and you'll be able to launch the Homebrew Launcher from an icon on your home menu. Your device will now automatically launch into CFW SysNAND. "

i'm done ?

Hi all noob here
I have an o3ds fw9.2.0.20U running the 120316 rxtools nightly loading from menuhax.

Yeah here's a guide:

Start from step 3 "getting the otp".

Hello. I must say: English - not my native language, so I apologize. I have USA-region o3ds with A9LH, CakesFW in sysnand and firmware version 10.5. I use the FreemMultyPatcher to run games of the European region. In my console as the system language English is selected. Is there any way to run the game on one of the European region of the European languages (other than English, of course)? I mean those games in which there is no language selection menu, and the selection is done automatically based on system settings.

 

[warriosbest]

can i use my old .sav (128 - 512KB) from emunand to sysnand cakes cfw ?

One time pad. Basically a one time generated encryption key.

My setup:
O3DS with Gateway via 4.X MSET + 10.x GW emuNAND.

I’d like to prepare the system to use a9lhax, what would be the best way to go without losing the state of my current emuNAND? I’ve tried to downgrade the emuNAND to 9.2 using PlaiSysUpdater, which was successful but resulted in a black screen, so I had to restore my emuNAND. What I’m concerned about the most is NNID.

 

[[Truth]]

So the GBA ambassador games have this ugly darkening filter on them.
Is there a way to remove this?
When I inject a GBA ROM, is the filter automatically applied?

 

[LuigiXL]

A9LH N3ds install... all gone well until:

Copying EmuNAND data to SysNAND
Make sure you have restored EmuNAND from emuNAND_original.bin before doing this

1. Go to "EmuNAND Options" then "Partition Dump...

"SD is not formatted for EmuNand" (and thus failed)
Also in the main menu it shows the SD size " & no emunand"
I did follow the guide and restored emunand (and sysnand)..

Any advice? thanks!

I have a few other questions - and I might sound silly/dumb - but I am really paranoid about what I can and cannot do while running CFW. is it safe to link a NNID? can Nintendo see that I am running CFW? could I download a game update from the 3DS or do I need to inject it through FBI? thanks in advance

Yes, it's safe to link your NNID.
I'm not sure if this only happens with DLCs, but I think you need to install the game with the update already merged or install the update with BigBlueMenu or DevMenu (I think FBI does not work very well with this kind of cia).

I see. I don't have those installed, but I'll look into it. that means that I can keep the WiFi on generally, but keep out of online play in regards to banning? does adding people through friend codes pose any risk?

It's safe to play online using cias and add friends, there have never been a report at least until now.
Try updating your game through eshop, and if it fails on 99%, you'll need to install the updates as cias.
