Hi all, I set up a second new 3DS with A9LH and system transferred from my old one (with Gateway) because I thought that would be easier than needing to worry about all the formats losing my stuff (plus my old one has a small scratch on the screen). When I transferred last time (from an old 3DS) it let me choose wireless data transfer, and all my stuff got transferred including saves (games appearing after visiting the eShop).
This time, however, I wasn't given that option. It told me when the transfer was complete to use the old microSD and I thought it would be sufficient to paste the contents of the old one's microSD onto the new one's. Obviously just using the old microSD won't work because of the A9LH stuff that's required for booting. I would have thought that pasting the A9LH stuff onto the old one's SD wouldn't be any different than pasting the files from the old mSD onto the new one but I'll try that next.
My stuff hasn't come back after visiting the eShop, and after redownloading some of my paid games, I noticed they don't have their saves (and the non-paid-for ones didn't appear in redownloadable software). I assume if I reinstall all the other games, their saves won't appear either. Does anyone know how I could get back all my stuff, or at least extract the saves to put on my new console? I haven't ever used SVDT/SaveDataFiler etc to extract and inject saves before but I assume I'd have to actually have a console boot with those games appearing? At the moment neither my old not my new one will show them.
If anyone has some ideas I'd be grateful. If there's something I needed to do during the A9LH install process or afterwards to make the system transfer process go better then it should be added to Plailect's guide.
