Thank you so much!! Finally upgraded from the original 3DS to a New 2DS XL and I was so confused with the transfer because of the differences in sd sizes
Same, I'd also love a video tutorial if anyone knows of one. The only one I found for modded 3DS' is specifically for cloning, but I just want to system transfer.
Wait... So if the data from the old 3DS was transferred to the computer, then what's the need of doing the system transfer in the 3DS settings? I only want to transfer one thing to my New Nintendo 2DS XL, my save data from my Pokémon Sun/Moon Special Demo Version. So can I just put it on my laptop from my old 3DS and then put it on my NN2DSXL from my laptop?
@Pabs Nah, I didn't. I think If I wanted another Ash Greninja from the demo version, I'd just play it again cuz it's just a small demo version. But hopefully everything still works since the Nintendo 3DS eShop is shutting down.
I tried doing a system transfer between an old 3DS that no longer has its SD card and a n2DSXL via PC transfer. Now, I cannot acces the new console because its stuck on the transfer screen, and I'm unable to delete anything from the 2ds SD card.
I put all my digital save data on the pc by pluging in my sd card to the pc to make a back up then I formatted my sd card to take care of an issue now when I put the save data back on my sd card all my save data is lost example I made a restore point for oracle of seasons and now I can't restore the back up help
Hey so since the Eshop is now shut down and it's impossible to get DLC content now Is it possible to delete save data of a DLC game and transfer an already downloaded dlc data to a now erased file???
i have a question in about a few weeks am going to get a classic 2DS with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed my question is i want to do a system transfer from an old 2DS i have (but with the top screen broken) to the 2DS i'm going to get am i going to lose the game if i do this
Hey I'm trying to follow this advice but I got this error when making the back up, Error 0x800701b1: A device which does not exist was specified. Will this effect anything negatively?
Since the eShop shut down, am I able to get a copy of alpha sapphire from someone? My physical cartridge is recurving the error message, and no fixes have worked
what about transfer to a new n2ds xl I have disney magical world and I dont want to loose the data :‘( but my new 3ds xl is super laggy and the display is scratchy af
do you have to format the SD card to a certain type? Like FAT32? I am going from a 3DS XL with regular sized SD Card, to a 2DS XL with a microSD only. How do I setup my Micro SD card?
Oh so if I'm transferring between 2 new 3ds all I have to do is enable PC transfer and swap over the sd card to the target 3ds. Nice cuz I have a ton of games. Home this doesn't fuck with the homebrew.
Thank you so much!! Finally upgraded from the original 3DS to a New 2DS XL and I was so confused with the transfer because of the differences in sd sizes
can you figure out a way to transfer from a homebrewed/soft modded 3ds?

Still useful many years later!
Help me out with this 😭
Thanks a lot for this guide it was by far the easiest to follow on RUclips.
I lost all my DLC's and save files when I used this method :((
I'm planning to get a new nintendo 3ds xl, and a dsi. Just to relive those good days.
I already got a new 3ds xl myself for nostalgia
AND a DSi??? I get getting an OG DS or a DS Lite because of the GBA slot, but a DSi when you already have a 3DS? wut?
@@arcyarcanineDS games look horrendous on 3DS.
@@nottucks pixel perfect mode, my dude
will I be able to restore the data of the old 3ds with this method? to have the data on both
I know this is late, but no. The save data transfers to one system and then is lost.
@@tomasgarcia7499 Hey I don’t really get any of this but uh is there any way that something I purchase from the eshop can be used on both 3ds
@@Noah-ek3jn No, I don't think so. I think it can only be on 1 3DS

I bought my new 2ds xl with Mario kart 7 pre installed will that be deleted if I do the system transfer.
No it should transfer over. My original 3ds came with Mario 3d land preinstalled and it transfered without a hitch
@@skyforce95 thanks for the help
Btw heard that if you do this the original nnid will be in your new 3ds.

Do you still need it?
Yo do you know how I can do this with only my old 3ds sd card
Is there a way to transfer from a broken 3ds to a 3ds xl (I have the sd card for the broken one)
Did you figure it out? I have the same problem
@@halogod6914 no, I couldn’t. Sry.
Same here that's what I was trying to find
Is a pc still required if I want to transfer my data from my old 3DS to another 3DS of the same model? I have a pc I’m just wondering
Would recommend the PC method since it’s the fastest
@@skyforce95
and safest?? (have a low possibility of losing any data at all)
what about transfer to a new n2ds xl
I have disney magical world and I dont want to loose the data :‘( but my new 3ds xl is super laggy and the display is scratchy af
should work the same way
If I have content and save data on my new ds does it delete once the transfer is complete?
Yes, what you transfer will replace existing
can you transfer save file with this method or just game file?
It’ll transfer everything, including any saved data
@@skyforce95 after license transfer completed, do you need to turn off the New Nintendo 3DS when you want to remove SD Card ?
Can this be done to downgrade as well? My new 2ds xl broke and now I got a 3ds xl but ik you can’t wireless, would this work?
I don’t see why not
Sweet that makes me feel a lot better now because I was stressing out hard because of it
literally i have the same 3dss and had the same issue 😂
I need help with this really bad
I don’t think I’ll get my NNID Back because my 3DS is broken 😭
Edit: I need to hurry up before eShop shuts down!
Thanks for sharing. I'
ll do that soon.
if my old 3ds is modded, will my new one get bricked or will it get modded as well?
You have to jailbreak the new 3ds and then do a pc based transfer
have people tried this with cfw?
assuming both are modded
do you have to format the SD card to a certain type? Like FAT32? I am going from a 3DS XL with regular sized SD Card, to a 2DS XL with a microSD only. How do I setup my Micro SD card?
Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the same question
@@vicccturrr6689 I backed up to my computer and put onto the new card after doing the transfer fr 3ds to 2ds
yes, it has to be FAT32 and you need 32kb allocation size
Oh so if I'm transferring between 2 new 3ds all I have to do is enable PC transfer and swap over the sd card to the target 3ds. Nice cuz I have a ton of games. Home this doesn't fuck with the homebrew.
bro i cant with this mic
wdym
Thanks! It worked!
Thanks So Much Bro
Thank you so much!
But what about going from a New 3DS XL to a a regular old 3DS XL?
You unfortunately can't do that. That's the only combination which is not compatible.
@@wockio205 well... that sucks!
@@wockio205If you transfer to a New 3DS system, the only transfer you can do after is with other New 3DS systems
