Hi there, as the thread title suggests I’m interested in making a clone of my existing 3DS system. I asked in the Nintendo Homebrew discord, and the idea seems to be as follows:
-System transfer main 3DS (N3DSXL) to backup (N2DSXL)
-Use NTRBoot to launch into GodMode9, create a NAND backup of N2DSXL with my content
-Wait a week, system transfer back to original system (N2DSXL to N3DSXL) (This is to restore my NNID to the original system)
-Restore NAND backup of N2DSXL, keep system offline
As far as I can tell, this should work fine in theory. I was just wanting second opinions on the idea. I have a loooooot of titles (DSiWare, DLC, 3DS) and a manual clone would be a massive pain, so I’m happy to just use the system transfer.
