3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:47, 10 February 2023

A manual CTRTransfer is an advanced version of the CTRTransfer used to restore more parts of the system software. It uses the same CTRTransfer images as the regular version, and said images can be found on the CTRTransfer page.

This is an advanced process that should only be used when all other options are exhausted.
It can be destructive if done incorrectly, so use caution.
If you run into any issues or do not understand something, join the Nintendo Homebrew Discord and ask, in English, for help.
