#* 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 ~~move over~~ the lost data.<br>If you pick a Wireless Transfer in this case anyway, select "Do Not Delete" when prompted on the '''target console''' to preserve all data on the '''source console''''s SD card, or else you will have to manually reobtain all lost homebrew/dumps/etc. by hand
