| | # [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''' |
| | text = TODO: Steps if someone could not use "PC-Based 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. |

|
| # Perform the system transfer as usual
| | === Next Steps - Branching of the Way === |
| #* If this is from an Old 3DS to a New 3DS, it is best to use "PC-Based Transfer", unless it is impossible to do. The wireless file transfer is very slow (taking about 2 hours to transfer 1GB)

| | === 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 |
