Could anything go wrong with this System Transfer + NAND Restore Strategy?

I want to system transfer from my old 3DS to my New 3DS, but in case anything goes wrong I still want to be able to transfer back to an old 3DS, but I would be blocked off from doing that after transferring to the New one because you can't transfer from New to Old. So I formulated this strategy:
  1. NAND Backup console A and console B (console B is the new 3DS)
  2. Perform a system transfer from console A to console B (PC based so I can restore non-legitimate titles with FakeTik)
  3. Clone the SD card contents of console A to console B's SD card
  4. After transfer is complete, NAND restore console A
  5. before connecting console A to the internet, use godmode9 to remove the NNID on console A to prevent any issues with that
With this method, I'd assume that I'd be able to create another NNID on console A and use console B independently of that. Only really the saves would differ after I use console B after transferring, which is easier to restore if anything goes wrong. As for the NNID, it doesn't really matter much anyway since the servers will go down soon so console A shouldn't be impacted much. Is there any issue with this strategy?

You can't transfer from New to Old, it's common knowledge. And that's also because you might have games that only work on New model consoles on Old model consoles and Nintendo doesn't want that to happen like at all lol

    Yeah, that's pretty crappy. As a general rule, if I can get my hands on it, that's what I play. Even though I build SD cards for flash cartridges with everything I can get on there, it's more about the challenge of seeing what I can do with the space provided and what I can get working.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    I still only play the things on there I own.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Yeah, my DSi and all my 3DS systems are CFW.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    "What are you doing with that jailbroken DSi that you can play any commercial game on?" "I'm playing Angband."
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I never really liked modern DS flashcarts, mostly the clones that have been appearing on AliExpress. They all used the same cheap-ass hardware from over a decade ago. The Ace3DS+ being based on R4iLS hardware from around 2008/09, and the DEMON carts from R4i-SDHC based on the DSTTi (a DSi-compatible DSTT flashcart).

    That's why the EZ Flash Parallel was such a let down.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    There used to be somehow Acekard 2i clones and DSOne clones, but they seem to have disappeared off the site, perhaps old remaining stock that they had lying around.
  • A @ anotherthing:
    Speaking of Angband, why has no one ever made Angband 3D for the 3DS?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, And a let down it was. I was quite fascinated when EZ-Flash announced the product, and wanted to buy it. But was let down by the reviews and the responses from people on here, hence why I avoided it like the plague, as if I really needed another one. I'm fine with what I've currently got atm. :P

    I bought one.

    @anotherthing, How was it? Did it suck per usual?

    It's very not exceptional.

    I was expecting it to do something more than pretty much every other card out there, and it doesn't do anything more.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Understandable. I did try to warn others about this cartridge, but they didn't listen to me or anybody else about the EZ-Flash and bought them anyways, only to realise that they wasted their money.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @anotherthing, It acts kinda the same way as an Ace3DS+ cartridge, because it uses the commonly known Wood kernel as a base.

    I have three EZ Flash Omega/DEs and I really was thinking that the EZ Flash Parallel would work similar to how the Omega worked. Where it recognizes the file extension and loads that file accordingly.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    To play an NES game on the EZ Flash Omega, you just toss it on the SD card and select it from the menu and it loads it in to the NES emulator.

    The EZ Flash Parallel just works like every single other card I have.

    My wife just got a 3DS, and I was hoping that the EZ Flash Parallel was something I wouldn't have to walk her through.

  • A @ anotherthing:
    I can walk her through how to do something like loading an NES game on a $10 cartridge.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least she has a console to play games on. :D

    We've been playing Animal Crossing in the morning after I finish chores and before she heads to work.

    I've never played Animal Crossing Wild World for a long time. Probably the best games on the system so far.

    I hadn't played the game in about a year until she started playing it. My first day back involved a lot of weeding.
