Hacking Two NN3DS units, a few questions

[Deleted-188346]

Hey guys, here's my setup, and my goals.

I have 2 NN3DS units. One is brand new, the other has been used for a year with Gateway (emunand entirely uses .cia games). I also have Cubic Ninja.

I'm looking to bring all my save files over to the brand new NN3DS. How would I go about this?

Also, I've heard you can have emunand without the need of gateway (and is actually able to be updated to the latest firmware versions). Are there any downsides to this? What should I be looking for?

Thanks in advance guys, I'm so used to Gateway and a single NN3DS that I have no idea about anything else.

Setup gateway and emunand on the new 3rd and downgrade if needed.

Once setup update emunand to 10.5 then use reinand to boot

Use official system transfer to transfer most of the files

Cheers for the reply! I forgot to mention, I only have the single 64gb micro SD. Is it possible to extract the save files from the old N3DS and inject them into the new N3DS?

I'd rather not buy a 2nd Micro SD card just for this. If the official transfer tool only transfers saves, I could use a temporary SD to complete the transfer.

Bump because the new N3DS is nearly charged and ready to go.

You can use save data manager, svdt or save data filer in order to backup/restore the saves.

I can't link save data filer cause.....reasons (copyrights), but you'll be able to find it in that iso site.

Cheers! And any of these will work with .cia games, from one N3DS unit to another?

Yeah.
The first and second option can be launched from the homebrew launcher.
Save data filer comes in a cia form, you just need to find the ID of the games you wanna backup the saves from.

You can find the IDs here.

Beautiful. Is there any disadvantage to using reinand over the official Gateway emunand?

no gateway in game menu for cheats. but that's all

Edit: Googled, apparently ReiNand does indeed work on 10.5, despite his github/pastebin not stating so.

Reinand is only a cfw loader... That's all - no cheats
