3DS:System Transfer/Target has CFW

2025-07-30T23:07:24Z

Karmashiota: adding note redirecting users to movable moveover if eshop is broken

The system transfer process is mostly the same as it would be done without CFW on either device, but you will need to use faketik at the end to restore any applications and games that did not come from the eShop.

{{Warning|text=A system transfer can only be done between two consoles that are the same region, and both must have a functional eShop! If at least one of your consoles has a nonfunctional eShop, such as after doing a region change, follow [[3DS:Movable Moveover|Movable Moveover instead]].}}

==What You Need==

*The latest release of {{GitHub|/d0k3/GodMode9/releases/latest|GodMode9}} (the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> file)
*The latest release of {{GitHub|ihaveamac/faketik/releases/latest|faketik}} (the <code>.3dsx</code> file)

==Instructions==

===Section I - Prep Work===

*For '''both consoles''', perform the following steps:
*#Power off your device
*#Insert your SD card into your computer
*#Copy <code>GodMode9.firm</code> from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card
*#Copy the <code>gm9</code> folder from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
*For the '''source console''', perform the following steps:
*#Create a folder named <code>3ds</code> on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
*#Copy <code>faketik.3dsx</code> to the <code>/3ds/</code> folder on your SD card
*Reinsert both SD cards into their respective consoles

===Section II - NAND Backup===

Creating a NAND backup of both consoles is a good idea in case something goes wrong. It ensures you can recover your data in the event of an error.

*For '''both consoles''', perform the following steps:
*#Press and hold {{B|START}}, and while holding {{B|START}}, power on your device. This will launch GodMode9
*#Press {{B|HOME}} to bring up the action menu
*#Select "Scripts..."
*#Select "GM9Megascript"
*#Select "Backup Options"
*#Select "SysNAND Backup"
*#Press {{B|A}} to confirm
*#*This process will take some time
*#*If you get an error, make sure that you have at least 1.3GB of free space on your SD card
*#Press {{B|A}} to continue
*#Press {{B|B}} to return to the main menu
*#Select "Exit"
*#Press {{B|A}} to relock write permissions if prompted
*#Press {{B|R|START}} to power off your console
*#Insert the console's SD card into your computer
*#Copy <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_00.bin</code> and <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_00.bin.sha</code> from <code>/gm9/out</code> to a safe place on your computer, then delete both files from the SD card
*#Reinsert the SD card into its console

===Section III - System Transfer===

#[https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14169 Perform the system transfer as usual]. If you are transferring from a Old 3DS to a New 3DS, choose the option '''PC-Based Transfer''' when asked, not '''Wireless Transfer''' or '''Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer'''
#*The prompt mentioning this is not given when transferring between two Old 3DS consoles or two New 3DS consoles. These transfers are almost the same as PC-Based Transfers, but ask you to move the '''source console''''s physical SD card to the '''target console''' rather than just copy the data over. This part can be ignored without consequence, and you can copy the data between the SD cards anyway
#*If you have the option to pick a PC-Based Transfer but do not have access to a PC, be aware that during a Wireless Transfer, homebrew software, cartridge dumps, and any other data only obtainable through CFW will not be transferred over. You will need to take extra steps to reobtain the lost data.

===Next Steps - Branching of the Way===

Were you able to perform a '''PC-Based Transfer''' in Section III?
----
<tabber>

|-|Yes / It didn't ask me=

{{info|text='''The source console is finished.''' The following steps should only be performed on '''the target console'''.}}

=== Section IV - Homebrew Launcher ===

# Launch the Download Play application
# Wait until you see the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS buttons
# Press {{B|L}} + {{B|D-PAD DOWN}} + {{B|SELECT}} at the same time to open the Rosalina menu
# Select "Miscellaneous options"
# Select "Switch the hb. title to the current app."
# Press {{B|B}} to continue
# Press {{B|B}} to return to the Rosalina main menu
# Press {{B|B}} to exit the Rosalina menu
# Press {{B|HOME}}, then close Download Play
# Launch the Download Play application
# Your device should load the Homebrew Launcher

=== Section V - faketik ===

# Launch faketik from the list of homebrew
#* If you receive the error "The External Title Database is not available.", ensure that the correct SD card is inserted into the console
# Press {{B|HOME}}, then close Download Play

{{success|text=The transfer is complete! Note that you may have to unwrap all the icons that were restored by faketik.}}

|-|No, but a Wireless Transfer succeeded=

=== Section IV - Homebrew File Recovery ===

This section will have you manually copy all homebrew files onto the '''target console''', as wireless transfers actively refuse them.

# On the '''target console''', note all apps that should have appeared but are missing
# Insert the '''source console's''' SD card into your PC, and copy the homebrew data off of it and onto your PC
#*Everything except the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> and <code>DCIM</code> folders is considered homebrew data
# Take out the '''source console's''' SD card but leave it out of its console, and insert the '''target console's''' SD card into your PC
# Move all of the files you copied off of the '''source console's''' SD card onto the '''target console's''' SD card
# Reinsert the '''target console's''' SD card into its console
# Redo [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|Finalizing Setup]] on the '''target console'''. This will ensure you have backups available in case the next section does not work as intended

=== Section V - Homebrew App Recovery ===
{{Section WIP|notes=Provide more detailed instructions on how to use ninfs.}}

This section will restore all games/savedata that the Wireless Transfer refused to copy over.

# Insert the '''source console's''' SD card into your PC and mount its <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder using [[ninfs]]
# Copy all games/savedata that were not transferred onto the '''target console''' onto somewhere on your PC
# Unmount the '''source console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder and reinsert its SD card into its console
# Insert the '''target console's''' SD card into your PC
# Mount the '''target console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder in ninfs, and add all copied games/savedata from your PC into the existing contents
# Unmount the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder from ninfs, but keep the '''target console's''' SD card inserted
# [[3DS:Rebuild Title Database|Rebuild title.db]] on the '''target console''' to force all the new apps to appear
# Reinsert the '''target console's''' SD card into its console

{{success|text=The transfer is complete! Note that you may have to unwrap all the icons that were restored.}}

|-|No, the transfer failed=

Attempt to redo the transfer. If it continues to give errors, join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.

3DS:Movable Moveover

2025-07-30T22:49:12Z

Karmashiota: added notes about this page being useful for region-changed systems, since they can't do a normal system transfer

{{hatnote|This page is a guide to transferring data between systems without doing a System Transfer, and usually should only be done if the '''source console''' you are transferring from is nonfunctional entirely, has a nonfunctional eShop (typically after doing a region change), or you only have its SD.
<br>If you do not have a specific reason to follow this guide (i.e. both consoles are usable and the eShop works on both), do [[3DS:System Transfer|a System Transfer]] instead.}}
{{shortcut|3DS:MM}}

= Required Reading (Do NOT ignore) =

This guide can potentially cause unexpected results if done wrong. Please ensure you read the steps carefully to prevent these unexpected results from happening.
<br>Additionally, ensure you have read the following three warnings to have a full understanding of the potential risks of this guide.

{{critical|text=Do '''NOT''' use a <code>movable.sed</code> from Bruteforce Movable as your system movable (in general, but especially not for this guide). Doing so may cause other issues with the system, and '''WILL''' result in a guaranteed brick if you uninstall CFW while using that movable. Always keep a backup of your original <code>movable.sed</code> if you do so.}}

{{warning|text=If you have already done this guide at any time before the date 2024-08-11, then uninstalling CFW will brick your console, as FixupMovable (which is done by the script) is required to avoid crashing on stock firmware.
<br>If this applies to you, you can fix stock firmware by booting into [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]], copying your <code>movable.sed</code> from <code>1:/private</code> to the '''destination console''''s SD root, copying <code>MovableMoveover.gm9</code> to the <code>/gm9/scripts/</code> folder on the SD card, and then doing the instructions from Section II onward on the '''destination console''' only.}}

{{warning|text=Any games/savedata/themes/DSiWare that was already on the destination console's SD card will become inaccessible once the guide is completed - you will only be able to use the data transferred over from the source console. To access the destination console's data again, you must undo the moveover.
<br>The script extracts the original versions of those files so you are able to undo it if you need to - ''do not lose those files.''}}

{{info|If the above warning will cause issues for you and you are willing to take extra steps to avoid it, you can instead use [[ninfs]] to merge the source console's encrypted files onto the destination console, then [[3DS:Rebuild Title Database|rebuild title.db]] to make any merged games/apps appear.<br>
However, note that even this method will '''not''' bypass the issues of using a Bruteforce Movable <code>movable.sed</code>.}}

If you are confused in any way, join {{ml|Get support|the Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask for help in the 3ds-assistance channels.

== What You Need ==

* Two 3DS consoles, both modded with [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]]
** These will be referred to as the '''source console''' and '''destination console''' for this guide's purposes
** If either console is not currently modded, stop and mod it with [[3dsguide:|our custom firmware installation guide]] first
* The '''source console's''' <code>movable.sed</code>
** If you have the '''source console's''' <code>essential.exefs</code> or <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_##.bin</code> backup, such as the ones created in [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|our guide's Finalizing Setup]], you can use one of those instead
** You may also dump it from the source console using [[3DS:Dump system files#movable.sed|this guide]] if you have neither file in the sub-bullet above ''and'' you have GodMode9 access
* The '''source console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder
**this should contain the data you are trying to transfer
* The latest version of {{GitHub|/ihaveamac/faketik/releases/latest|faketik}} (the <code>.3dsx</code> file)
* The latest version of {{GitHub|d0k3/GodMode9/releases/latest|GodMode9}} (the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> file)
* The latest version of [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nh-server/scripts/main/3DS/MovableMoveover.gm9 MovableMoveover.gm9]
** To download, right-click/long-press the link and select <code>Save link as...</code>, or similar, then rename the downloaded file to <code>MovableMoveover.gm9</code> if it is not named exactly that

== Instructions ==

=== Section I - Prep Work ===

{{info|Follow these instructions on the '''destination console''' only.}}

# Power off your console and insert your SD card into your computer
# Copy <code>GodMode9.firm</code> from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card
# Copy the <code>gm9</code> folder from the GodMode9 <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
# Copy <code>MovableMoveover.gm9</code> to the <code>/gm9/scripts/</code> folder on your SD card
# Create a folder named <code>3ds</code> on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
#* This folder stores homebrew applications and data; it is different from the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder that the console automatically generates
# Copy <code>faketik.3dsx</code> to the <code>3ds</code> folder on the root of your SD card
# Copy the '''source console's''' <code>movable.sed</code> to the root of your SD card
#* If you have the '''source console''''s <code>essential.exefs</code> or <code><date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_##.bin</code> backup, you can copy that file to the root of your SD card instead
# Copy the '''source console's''' <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder to the root of your SD card
# Reinsert your SD card into your console

=== Section II - Setup Script ===
# Hold {{B|Start}}, and while holding {{B|Start}}, power on your console
# Your console will have booted into GodMode9
# If you are prompted to create an essential files backup, press {{B|A}} to do so, then press {{B|A}} to continue once it has completed
# If you are prompted to fix the RTC date&time, press {{B|A}} to do so, then set the date and time, then press {{B|A}} to continue
# Press {{B|Home}} to bring up the action menu
# Select “Scripts…”
# Select “MovableMoveover”
# Follow the prompts in the script, answering any questions that you are asked
# Once the script completes your console will have rebooted
# Your console may act like it has just been formatted - this does not mean your data has been lost. If it does this, proceed normally through initial setup and get to the HOME Menu

{{info|text=The destination console's original <code>essential.exefs</code> and <code>movable.sed</code> files will be in <code>sd:/gm9/out/MMM_Backup</code> on its SD card. It is highly recommended to back up these files to a safe location.}}

=== Section III - Reinstating Apps ===

# Launch the '''Download Play''' application
# Wait until you see the two buttons
#* Do not press either of the buttons
# Press {{B|L|DOWN|SELECT}} at the same time to open the Rosalina menu
# Select '''Miscellaneous options'''
# Select '''Switch the hb. title to the current app.'''
# Press {{B|B}} to continue
# Press {{B|B}} to return to the Rosalina main menu
# Press {{B|B}} to exit the Rosalina menu
# Press {{B|HOME}}, then close '''Download Play'''
# Relaunch the '''Download Play''' application
# Your console should load the '''Homebrew Launcher'''
# Launch '''faketik''' from the list of homebrew
# Wait until the process is completed
# Press {{B|START}} to exit
# Reboot your console

{{success|text=The moveover is complete. Congratulations for performing a complex procedure.}}

Karmashiota: -clarified the 300 title limit is for 3DS titles (not counting dsiware) -clarified you need to go into 3DS software in data management -reworded the entire "less than 300 titles installed" section (NOTE: Still need to actually make the subpages for windows/linux/mac -reworded and split the section that implies the sd is corrupted into two, one for the sd not being read and one for actual corruption -fixed typos

=3DS Titles Disappeared From Home Menu=

* This page lists multiple examples of 3DS titles dissappearing from the 3DS Home Screen and provides recommended solutions.
{{info|text='''Note:''' This issue does not affect anything installed as DSiWare, including TwilightMenu++ and games forwarded via nds-forwarder.}}

=== '''Titles with gray X's on them:''' ===
Install and run [[3DS:Faketik|Faketik]].

=== '''Titles appear listed normally, but still missing from Home Menu''': ===
==== If this occurred after installing 300+ 3DS titles:====
Delete some games from the <code>Data Management</code> screen until you’re under 300 titles.
====If this occurred and you have less than 300 titles installed: ====
Install and run [https://github.com/chalenged/gm9-title-fixer Chalenged's gm9 title fixer] per [[User:Chalenged/sandbox|their guide]].

* If you run into any issues with the above option, join the [https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp Nintendo Homebrew Discord] and mention that you've tried to use the title fixer script.

* Alternatively, you can manually generate a file that describes the contents of your SD, join the [https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp Nintendo Homebrew Discord], and send it in the #bot-cmds channel for further instructions. To generate the file, you will need a Windows/Linux/Mac computer, and a way to access your SD on said computer. If you wish to follow this route, choose your operating system below.

{{info|text='''Note:''' When the 3DS finds missing or corrupted data in the titles folder, it refuses to load the whole folder. the easy solution is to remove said missing or corrupted data. the hard part is finding the data. The gm9 script and the discord command do just that. The file the bot asks you to upload, 'title.txt', is a list of all the files and folders in the titles folder. this allows the bot to look for any folders that are missing files so you may delete them, which usually brings everything back. However, the title in question is presumably inaccessible and needs to be reinstalled.}}

==='''"The microSD/SD card software management information is corrupted. Reset it now?" message''':===
If you have any games or saves you'd like to keep, follow this guide to [[3DS:Rebuild title database|Rebuild your Title Database]]. If you do not care about your current data, you can hit "Reset", which will render your current games and saves unplayable, and you can reinstall your apps afterwards.

Your SD Card is not being read by your console. Ensure it is properly inserted into the console; if it is, backup the contents of your SD Card to a computer or phone, [[3ds-guide:formatting-sd-(windows)|reformat the SD Card]], then [[3ds-guide:h2testw-(windows).html|test its integrity]].

'''custom-install''' is a [tool] that installs 3DS titles directly to an SD card from a PC, which depending on the SD card's read/write speeds, can be considerably faster than installing the titles on the 3DS itself.
==Installation==
<tabber>

|-|Windows standalone=

<span>
=== What you need ===
* One or more .cia files from [[3DS:Dump_titles_and_game_cartridges|dumped cartridges]]
