So I had two 3ds's. One legit updated one that i was playing my eshop downloaded pokemon y. I backuped everything that was on the sd card of my legit 3ds. Then i have my gateway 3ds which i updated today to emunand 8.x. I did a system transfer from my legit to my gateway 3ds then redownloaded pokemon y from the eshop. Every time I start the game it doesnt read my save. Is there any way for me to retrieve the save from my legit SD card backup?

I've also had the exact same issue with a few of my games, I haven't tried yet but it might be possible to move the save across manually.

pretty sure the saves should of been transferred during the system transfer, you cant just copy them from one console to another as the save is encrypted to be unique to the console it came from

also you will likely have space wasted on the SD card as all the content you transferred to the new console will not be read by the new 3ds anyway

iirc the issue is that there is a point in the transfer process where you need to switch the SD from the old console to the new one.......this part cannot be completed properly as emunand is running from the SD

did the system crash when you got to that point?

No the system transfer worked fine actually
im pretty sure the save should of transferred fine.....but im not sure maybe they are transferred using the valid 6.x encryption so unless gateway release a update to accept valid 6.x encrypted saves your save will be unusable

i was sure ages ago (back when 6.x was the latest version) when people did the system transfer it asked you to swap the sd cards at one point which is where it would fail(the actual transfer happened though but all the content needed to be re-downloaded)......maybe im just imagining thing though, i have never do a system transfer myself so im not exactly sure of what it involves

Actually my content did have to be redownloaded from eshop but I don't remember it asking to switch sd cards or giving an error. I also have all the data from my old 3ds's sd card backed up

Hi, I did a System Transfer from my original 3DS to Gateway emuNAND today, which worked absolutely fine. The Problem is that I lost my save of my eshop downloaded Super Mario 3D Land. Do you know why and if I can restore it somehow?? This game does definitley NOT have the 6.X encryption, thats why I thought the save would still be there... Of course I copied all files from my old SD to the Gateway SD.
Thanks for your help!

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
