No! Do not install a NAND backup from another 3DS!
That will brick your 3DS!
I'm not sure if restoring a NAND backup from another 3DS would cause a hard or softbrick, although I'm pretty sure it would cause a hardbrick.
You can fix a soft brick by updating your 3DS through recovery mode.
You can fix a soft brick by getting a hardmod (and a proper NAND backup. If you do not have a proper NAND backup, your 3DS would be permanently bricked.)
I'll make sure not to restore from that NAND then, is there any way to retrieve data such as friend codes/etc from that backup and get my NNID unlinked without having to contact Nintendo?
afaik, no.
You'd need to have access to your original 3DS to be able to transfer your data.
Just contact Nintendo, that's the only way to transfer your NNID.
Restoring a sysnand backup is a hard brick. Emunand obviously not, since you can just not boot to emunand until you fix it.
The encryption on the nand is unique to each 3ds so the new 3ds can't see anything from the old nand.

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? -

@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

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

@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!

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:
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 just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
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 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)
