So recently I pirated a 3ds with the system transfer thing, however I do want to keep my NNID on my source 3ds but i already restored nand, so if I wanna transfer back from the 3DS I just pirated, do I need to format the source 3ds? (the one without NNID), and If I do; do I just lose all my NAND info? (A.K.A. Boot9, and the ability to download games)

Reformatted for punctuation.

I recently hacked a second 3DS through System Transfer. However, I want to keep my NNID on my source 3ds, but its NAND is restored. I want to transfer the NNID back to it. Do I need to reformat the source 3ds? If i do, will I lose all my NAND info? (CFW stuff)

Nah, I don't think you need to reformat anything on your first 3DS. Just do the System Transfer back to it.

You sure? Even if the target 3ds has the same NNID?

When you did System Transfer, the target 3DS should not have the NNID. Your source 3DS should have passed its NNID to target 3DS, and then be the one without NNID.

To pass that NNID back to source 3DS, you hot potato the NNID back to it. If the first 3DS has a new NNID made after the transfer, you have to unlink it first before you give its original NNID back.

Check here how to unlink NNID:

There's also removing it through CFW:

Removing an NNID without formatting your device

Future reference:
Check out the seedminer CFW install method if you got no ntrboot flashcart and don't like messing with the NNID.

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow

    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?

    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/
