N3DS Adv and Disadv vs 3DS

+ Thumbpad feels more plastic and doesn't feel like it's slippery or wearing down due to better material (AKA Much better for Smash Bros)
+ Small sensitive c stick for precision and more interesting gameplay (Also much better for smash)
+ Similar price to N3DS (Only for now)
+ Face tracker helps 3D to always work as long as you are in its field of vision
+ Extra buttons on back
+ Slider for volume now on top so you don't hit it accidentally when playing
+ Extra battery and customization (2nd For N3DS only; Not XL)
+ Will have games you can only get on the system
+ Images look slightly better

+/- Uses MicroSD, can be unconvenient for some but I dont really mind, I say its a plus

- Must use screw on back to get to MicroSD

but the N3DS has a file transfer program build in, so you won't have to unscrew the back

if you want custom faceplates for n3ds xl, just print off your picture and tape it to the n3ds

There are clear covers from Japan that you can get. Just print a picture out and put it in the clear cover.

So, it doesn't allow the NAND to write/read anything while you transfer?

What? It doesnt work like that. It turns the 3DS into a network attached storage device. I go onto the micro SD option on the N3DS system menu and my micro SD appears as an attached network drive on my Windows PC. You can transfer any kind of file back and forth, no limitations. And its fast.

You never have to remove the micro SD after putting it in.

I know how it works, it acts like a NAS.
What I asked is while you are in "NAS mode", does the 3DS completely block access to the SD card, since it highly advises to not remove it while in use (Since it most likely reads and writes to the SD card while the system is powered on).

do you need a windows computer to use the microSD management tool? Can i use it with a apple computer

I still do not get what you mean.

You click Micro SD Management in the 3DS menu. It boots into its own little system and It comes up with this screen:

The console then acts as a wireless storage device with the SD card as the target drive.

No other applications seem to run whilst this function is running, including the update system. And its functionally the exact same as removing your SD card and using a USB reader.

So Gary doesn't appeared to you, guys? It's surprising.

I got it to work on Android through SMB sharing.

I'm not asking how to do it.
I'm asking if the 3DS, while in the "NAS mode", does it act like the SD card is completely removed from the system and has absolutely no access to it?

Really sweet, that's awesome, I never knew that

I also discovered it by accident. I tried to install it on my normal 3ds emunand though, but that didt work (obviously)

The wireless transfer is handy, but of course, be cautious because it DOES require you to connect to the internet! Don't update that SYSNAND! You'll be ready for when GW support for N3DS comes out within a week or so.

How the hell am I supposed to know that? I don't know what the console is bloody doing whilst its in transfer mode. Its a dedicated app in the system menu, not something that can be suspended like a game or other app.

All I know is that once you quit NAS mode, it seems like the console reboots its memory, and takes a moment to boot back into the settings menu.

Unplug the internet LAN cable from your router. Works fine. No risk of update and you can still use the network storage feature with your router/PC.

Plug it back in once youve transferred files and switched the N3DS wireless back off.

For some reason I didn't think of that. Clever.

Thats the name I gave my router.

It used to be "*neighbours name* is a cunt" until he worked out it was me.
