Hacking Some questions about hacking another 3DS using the same SD Card

[Switchgamer123]

1. I have a hacked 3DS with CFW on it using an SD card. If I were to get another 3DS to hack it, can I just use the same SD card to do it?
2. Does it need to be formatted again? If so, I can just move the contents in the card to my PC till after the hack process then move it back correct?

I'm saying this cuz I kinda want to get an XL. The launch 3DS I have right now is uncomfortably too small for my hands and the screen is too small. So I plan on buying an XL and selling this one.

you can use the same sd card yes, though you would have to wipe it to properly follow the instructions to install cfw on your new 3ds, yes you would format it/test it again. Just copy any files you want from your install, and follow 3ds.guide from the start

What if I copy all the files from before the install then replace the newly made files? Would that cause any problems?

This probably won't be necessary anyway because the most important files on the card will just be save data which can easily be transferred over but still

bad idea, just do a new install and copy any save data you want from the old system, wouldn't stop you from needing to install your titles again and stuff in my experience

OK thank you for the advice

I'll wait for a decently priced XL to pop up then snatch it
