New page

{{Warning|text=Please read the [[../|previous page]] fully before continuing.}}

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 [[3ds-guide:|our custom firmware installation guide]] first
**If the source console cannot be modded but you have access to ntrboot, you can use it instead during Section III
*The latest release of {{GitHub|ManiacOfGitHub/3ds-nandsave-transfer/releases/latest|3DS NAND Savegame Dumper}} (the <code>.firm</code> file)

==Instructions==

===Section I - Movable Moveover===

#Before continuing, you '''must''' follow the [[3DS:Movable Moveover|Movable Moveover]] guide to its completion
#*You can use [[3DS:3ds_essential_dumper|3ds_essential_dumper]] to obtain the <code>movable.sed</code> file from the source console if it is not fully functional
{{Warning|text=If you do not follow the Movable Moveover guide, some save data will not copy properly. If you do not want to transfer SD card data, this guide will not help you.}}

===Section II - Prep Work===
{{info|Follow these instructions on the '''source console''' only.}}
#Power off your console
#Insert your SD card into your computer
#Rename <code>boot.firm</code> to <code>luma.firm</code>, if it exists
#Copy <code>3ds_nandsave_dumper.firm</code> to the root of your SD card
#Rename <code>3ds_nandsave_dumper.firm</code> to <code>boot.firm</code>
#Reinsert your SD card into your console

===Section III - NAND Savegame Dump===
{{info|Follow these instructions on the '''source console''' only.}}

#Power on the console
#*If you must use ntrboot because the console is not modded, you should perform ntrboot now
#After a few seconds, the console should have booted into the 3DS NAND Savegame Dumper automatically
#*The script uses the top screen to show its status. If the top screen is broken, you will have to trust that the process completed successfully
#The script will begin automatically after 5 seconds. Wait 1-5 minutes for it to complete
#After the script completes, the console will power off automatically

===Section IV - Transferring Files===

#Insert the '''source console's''' SD card into your computer
#Copy the <code>nandsaves</code> folder inside the SD card to the Downloads folder on your computer
#Eject the '''source console's''' SD card from your computer
#Insert the '''destination console's''' SD card into your computer
#Copy the <code>nandsaves</code> folder from the Downloads folder on your computer to the root of your SD card
#Reinsert the '''destination console's''' SD card into the '''destination console'''

===Section V - Data Transfer===
{{Warning|text=This process will overwrite all current NAND savegame data. A backup will be made at <code>/gm9/out/data</code> if you follow the instructions properly. For additional protection, you may want to [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Creating_a_NAND_backup|create a NAND backup]] for the destination console before following this section.}}{{Info|text=Follow these instructions on the '''destination console''' only.}}

#Hold {{B|Start}}, and while holding {{B|Start}}, power on your console
#Your console will have booted into GodMode9
#Navigate into the <code>[0:] SD CARD</code> drive, then enter the <code>nandsaves</code> folder
#Press {{B|Y}} on the 32-character ID (known as the "ID0")
#Press {{B|B}} to go back to the main menu
#Navigate into the <code>[1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND</code> drive
#Press {{B|R|A}} on the <code>data</code> folder
#Select "Copy to 0:/gm9/out" to make a backup of your current NAND savegame data
#*If you see "Destination already exists", press {{B|A}} on "Overwrite file(s)"
#Once this finishes, press {{B|A}} on the <code>data</code> folder to enter it
#Press {{B|Y}} and select "Copy path(s)" to paste the savegame data from your clipboard
#Press {{B|A}} to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing, then input the key combo given
#Select "Overwrite file(s)" in the prompt that appears and wait for it to finish
#Press {{B|Start}} to reboot
