Hi all,
BACKGROUND:
I recently transferred my system from an a9lh 11.2 o3ds to a a9lh 11.2 n3ds via pc method. When the transfer was finished, almost all of my titles were gone but if I looked in data management they were all there just with grey x's.

I was told to you tikshop and it would fix it, and for the most part it did but only for the real nintendo content, not for any homebrew, vc injections, dsi forwarders, and for some reason the game updates.

ALSO, I do have the o3ds with its nand recovered from before the transfer and all files are still there and operational (except for nnid no longer working, which I expected)

THE REAL QUESTION: Does anyone know how to fix the titles/tickets (whatever is needed) for these various non(or missing) official titles without having to grab all the original cias again, and or full reinstall and potentially losing my saves.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

I have a backup of the nand and sd content from the original 3ds before transfer, are you saying I need to load d9 and export something, can you give me a bit of detail on what to select and what to move to the n3ds?

You must restore ur previous back up. All the content must be there when doing it.

Steps:

- Put all the files that u had in the SD before the transfer and the back up (nand.bin) in the files9 folder.
- Press Start/the button u set for hourglass9/decrypt9 payload while booting to open it.
- Restore ur nand back up keeping a9lh
- Check if everything is there.

Edit: W8, you wanna have all the pirate content on the New3DS or back to the O3DS?

Edit2: I miss read, for the N3DS u must install everything again on the new console as they are not "legal stuff". For the Saves, just back up them in case they are missed with JKSM.

    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
