{{info|If the above two warnings will cause issues for you and you are willing to take extra steps to avoid them, you can instead use [[ninfs]] to merge the source console's encrypted files onto the destination console, then [[3DS:Rebuild Title Database|rebuild title.db]] to make any merged games/apps appear.<br> | |||
