So, this is a complex issue, and I’m not sure exactly what the O3DS’s problem is.
I tried installing Homebrew on the O3DS once before and it worked. I used MHGSV (the userland alternative to JK’s save manager) to get the data off, and it worked perfectly fine when some talismans were edited on my PC. Then when using MHGSV to re-upload the edited save, an error was displayed. I checked the SD card and the edited data files were there but were listed as “0KB”, as if the data started transferring, failed to transfer, and was lost. The original data was still intact as MHGSV merely copies and overwrites data.
It seems the data on that DS can be copied off of it just fine but can’t be reloaded onto the SD card for some reason. Plugging in the SD card to my PC caused Windows to say “there is a problem with this device, fix? (Y/N)”. (Of course I didn’t let Windows do something unknown like that.)
Also, this O3DS fails to do a system data transfer to the N3DS because of whatever issue there is on the O3DS’s SD card. So that’s not an option.
So, since the data can be extracted off the partly malfunctioning O3DS just fine, is it possible to use userland Homebrew on a N3DS and seamlessly transfer the save data over using MHGSV?
Also, how exactly does one access the SD card of the N3DS, I see no slot on the lower part of the system for it where there is on the O3DS.
If transferring the data won’t work, then I could always use APM’s Save Editor and the Talisman Editor programs to manually copy everything from the old save on the semi-malfunctioning system to a new save on the N3DS. I’m much more certain that will work but it will be very, very tedious.
I’m not a very technical person, and I only have experience with userland Homebrew via OoT3Dhax, so please don’t recommend CFW stuff as I’m not able to do that anytime soon.
