Yeah it should I did say this on the first page, but I'm sure most will agree it seems a bit overkill to play a demo a bunch of time......soldering the SD reader alone risks messing up the 3ds then people getting bad dumps and not checking etc....the simplistic way has aleady been shared.....make sure your plays count and leave it running in sleep mode instead of just having 10 minute goes per game counter
I just made an image of my sdcard with emunand 7.1.0-14U (3DSLink one) using Win32diskimager, then after surpassing the 30 limit demo, I proceeded to restore my previous SD image just before start playing and voila, again 30 demo limit. No need to solder anything as said above.
good to "hear", but it's still pointless* >_>
I completed bravely default's demo in 6 uses. everything done, characters at level 20, every job at level 4, all bosses defeated, norende rebuilt at max level, 20 villagers, etc...
*at least for BD's demo

read the OP, its a none modded console....no mod = no emunand = no backing up and restoring emunand
the method i was describing would actually work for the OP, what you are describing is irrelevant in this situation, i am fully aware that you can just backup emunand and restore that IF you own a console on 4.x
The number of people that don't even read the first post is astounding...
The issue is that thae content in the specific demo in question is not found in the retail copy.

May I recommend you read, at the very least, the first post? I will say no more, but the TC's argument makes a whole lot of sense.
So the number of uses *is* on the NAND and not on the SD card? Or do we not know?
I'm suspecting it's on the NAND but it's a valid question.

Alternatively, do the same thing with a simple NAND backup device. You just have to solder 4 wires to the 3DS and away you go. Looks reasonably easy to solder and as long as you're careful you can't really destroy the console though you may ruin the solder points leaving you unable to do the NAND backup/restore, then again that's the same as if you didn't try in the first place right?
You can have saves from demos? I've never noticed that, I was under the impression that they don't store saves.
Interesting - I didn't know that. I download all the demos and leave them untouched so the usage count doesn't go down. Call me anal about these things 
Ok, so tell me what this game is and how I can look at how many uses I have left... I will just download it, run it a few times, dump nand and SD card and reflash. Put this thing to bed lol.

I won't call you anal, but I will ask... what's the point of even downloading them?
Because they might be de-listed from the eshop one day.
Also, because if the 3DS ever gets hacked fully (e.g. not just on 4.5) and we can remove the limitation, I'll be set.
Until I run out of space on my SD card (and I have a 32GB in there), I really see no reason not to, even if I'm not gonna play them.

I guess I just don't understand why you care that they will be de-listed if you don't pln on playing them? O.o
