While New 3DS models can do a similar method through microSD Management, said method has a number of downsides: |
| | * microSD Management does not exist on Old 3DS models. |
| | * microSD Management uses a protocol (SMBv1) that is only supported by Windows. |
| | ** Additionally, SMBv1 is heavily outdated, [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/stop-using-smb1/ba-p/425858 now a major security risk], and disabled by default on modern installations of Windows. |
| | * microSD Management can cause random file corruption in use. |
| | |
| | Luckily, with custom firmware, we can instead use FTP to transfer files wirelessly on both New 3DS ''and'' Old 3DS. |
