I bought a New 3ds xl and added custom firmware on it. my old new 2ds broke and got the motherboard switched so i can't transfer my data. is it possible to get the save files off the new 2ds sd card and transfer the saves to my new 3ds?

Only if you backed up the save data before it broke with JKSM or Checkpoint, or if you have a NAND backup of the 2DS and the friend file. If it never had CFW or homebrew you can't recover the saves.

I have a NAND backup of the 3ds and the friend file (is that the movable.sed?) had custom firmware on it

NAND backup alone might not do you much good but if it was made with GodMode9 then more recent versions of that embed an essentials backup inside the NAND backup which contains your OTP IIRC which lets you decrypt the NAND backup, as well as your movable.sed which can be used to decrypt SD card content. That essentials backup should also be exported to SD as essential.exefs when you first run GodMode9.
Friend file? Do you mean LocalFriendCodeSeed_B or the file that you have to dump when hacking a 3DS with certain methods? The latter is indeed movable.sed but it's only a partial one, not sure if it's good enough to do what you want to do.

    @Sicklyboy, software for live images got discontinued https://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/blog/frontpage
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Nah all OS's can get you gay porn if you're into that
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, hm, I'm not familiar with that software, however, a lot of distributions offer a live test environment that they themselves build. No changes will be permanent though so any software you install on it is temporary, and would need to be reinstalled next time you boot the live image. https://www.debian.org/CD/live/

    @K3Nv3,
    no, finding all the drivers for the 12th generation of Intel or running KEIL on Linux is a special genre of porn, there is little of that even on the black Internet.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Alternatively, if you have two flash drives, you could boot an installer on one flash drive, and install it onto the second flash drive. Then you can make permanent changes to the Linux install, but still remove the flash drive to "undo" any changes to the PC
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Sicklyboy, well for some reason I never asked this before but what if someone sees i'm using another OS?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Sicklyboy, and well I have a USB that I mostly use to transfer PS3 games so maybe I could use that
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Steamos is about to be awesome for driver support but it's limited with Debian specific stuff for different archs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, true, I suppose that is a different concern. Depends on if you think you could explain your way out of it (lie), explain that it doesn't change anything on the computer and is only a program that runs from the USB drive (sort of lie). Not that lying is a good idea lol. Also, depends on if you think others would notice it is different. Using KDE Plasma desktop environment (default in Debian) looks not too different from WIndows 10. The file explorer looks very different, but if you're just using other programs like web browsers, it looks similar

    any list of OS is reduced to one Windows as soon as you want to do something serious
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    for development and repair of electronics most of the tools are only for Windows
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah os won't really give a huge boost in performance if that's what you're specifically after

    @Sicklyboy, all those Amazon links are storage aren't they
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Close enough to Windows that my parents wouldn't notice, for example (although my parents are probably a little older than yours, I would imagine)
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    Plus, in Windows you just ran the installer and it was installed.

    Close enough
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    in Linux you first look for software for your version of the OS, then you look for how to install this software, then you look for how to install all the dependencies, and after 4 hours of compilation and installation it turns out that one of the smallest dependencies is not supported by your version of the OS and the program cannot be installed
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    And you get an uninstalled program and 146 GB of hard drive space filled with God knows what and where. :rofl2:
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Just gotta follow. Guides in most cases and you're golden in linux
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv3, I mostly want a performance boost
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Linux is just awesome for a free open source alternative
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @lapot2, yeah something that Windows is better than Linux is that you don't have to compile every single software you download
