3DS:System Transfer/Target is stock

From Hacks Guide Wiki

Due to seedminer being the current exploit method, it is easier to perform a System Transfer first, before setting up custom firmware on the target console. Dumping the source console's movable.sed before performing the transfer means that seedminer can be bypassed entirely on the target console after.

If the target console does already has CFW, follow this guide instead.

Section IV - System Transfer

  1. Perform the system transfer as usual
    • 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 Transfer" option is very slow (taking about 2 hours to transfer 1GB)
