can you transfer/port data back to an old 3ds from a new 3ds using a pc or just the new 3ds? (if i have to homebrew to new 3ds I'm already planning on doing that)

#

No, the server and transfer app don't allow new to old

#

Only same to same or old to new

#

I told you why

#

System transfer runs through the eshop server

oak sail

#

The server is needed to move the nnid, that your licenses are linked to

#

Homebrew can't touch the nnid and eshop server

#

can't the picture's or saves be transferred?

warped stag
#

Move the dcim folder for pictures

#

They're not encrypted

#

Saves are encrypted, locked to that 3ds, system transfer moves the key

#

Else you can call Nintendo to move the nnid link, but then saves don't move

#

System transfer is what moves everything to another system

Extdata is on the sd

#

Some carts like fantasy life only use extdata

#

Many games store a portion of their save in extdata

#

Save data location on sd

#

Look in data management in settings

#

Anything there is an extdata save on your sd

#

One of the fire emblem games uses it for save slots after 3

ow

#

You've already been told everything

#

Nintendo locked anything inside the Nintendo 3ds folder to the console, system transfer moves the keys

#

That's apps, updates, dlc, saves, etc

#

You can redownload everything but saves by having them move your nnid externally, that won't move the keys though

# warped stag What is unclear about this?

sorry man English isn't my first language and im tired like 25% of the things i type goes trough google translate to know if i typed it correctly and its actually the word i want to use

#

so its kinda hard to understand

warped stag
#

Nintendo locked saves and apps so they can't be shared or tampered with

#

The encryption protects from that

#

Can't give an unlocked smash bros save to a friend, they have to unlock their own content

#

And your account can only log into the system it is linked to on the server

warped stag
#

No video guides are supported, per rules and pins in #modding @oak sail

#

The guide does give you a save manager

#

But that doesn't move your account or other data a system transfer does

oak sail

#

And why not just move the cartridges as you said and see if the saves move?

#

You still need the nnid for eshop content like dlc

oak sail
#

Literally none

warped stag
#

Or any purchases on eshop

#

Or any free items like Pokémon picross

#

Transfer also moves activity log, and anything else on the system when the sd isn't present

#

You didn't exactly specify which data in the main post and title, so I gave you the answer for all data on the system
