I also bought Legends of Exidia before this news broke out. I don't mind as much, as it looks like a good game anyway. ^_^

This is so unbelievable I mean WATDAFACK HOW. 3DS Devs are the best l love them all so much <3
this could have been done before he announced it on reddit 3ds hacks we just did not know the trick existed or their was a flaw in how system tranfer checks if the apps legit or not if the apps signed and the file size is correct it will let it go though system transfer and let you boot it does not check if the software matches the title of the cia so thats why it works so pretty much dsiware piracy with out the 3ds having cfw as long as the dsi wares smaller then the game itself

I was surprised to find out that I actually have the rytmik rock edition dsiware application, but I don't think I can do anything with it since I'm stuck on my 2ds with 11.2.0-35...

You'd have to buy another old 3DS and hack it to downgrade your 2DS. Also, buying the game on the stock console won't do you any good :-p (unless you were on 11.0 or 11.1 and you were waiting for slohax).

I just tried this method and used system transfer from my O3DS to my N3DS. After the transfer Sudoku does not appear in the main menu of the N3DS, however, other games that were transferred do show up. When I go to Data Management/System Memory I see Sudoku listed there, it just won't show up in the main menu. Any idea what went wrong?

Both consoles are EU region.

Can anyone confirm they have Sudoku working? I've seen several reports of it not working, like this reddit post:

Hi Plaitect, I have tried 10 times this method with 20 consoles, with sudoku and other games, with PC and without PC (w/ godmode9), all its ok, and my cfw 3ds open hax ok, but when i transfer the game , and transfer it's done, doesnt show the game in the menu of the non-cfw 3ds. game its 100% legal, not freeshop or cias. my noncfw 3ds eshop shows sudoku as downloaded, but doesn't appear in my menu

??

i guess in theory they could change how the system transfer works and not issue new tickets for the dsi games until after the actual system transfer has occurred to force people to have to redownload the game even on older fw's thus blocking this method and the older dsi method without having to actually pull any games, might screw with saves though I guess but then again Nintendo took months to even start removing the dsi downgrade titles so they probably would t bother

Well if Nintendo didn't think of it they got a good idea now, hopefully it's user error or something silly

how was your nand dumped? and are all folders empty, or do some have random gibberish?
also, make sure your dump is actually decrypted, or it won't actually display in osfmount. you can decrypt it by xor-ing it, or by simply creating a fresh dump in decrypt9. also if you dumped it via hardmod, then it's prolly still encrypted too
Guys. Having trouble to use the ofsmount. The drive opens empty. Any help?

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
