Yes, it's slightly bothersome though, you'll have to generate a file using the .3ds, put that on your 3DS to generate another pair of files, then do the conversion on the PC. Not sure if it can be done in batch, maybe it can. If you have a fast connection I'd just recommend going to that iso site and find Billy's GDRIVE thread and use the CIAs from there :)
It can be done in batch. Only one ncchinfo and one xorpad generation process and it will convert all 3ds to cia at once.

one more thing, did they ever fix getting into emunand? I had my old 3ds set up for it but it would only go into emunand like 20% of the time when I would try and go to the nds profile.

Not sure what you're asking. No need to use MSET exploit if that's what you're talking about. We just boot straight into EmuNAND from coldboot.

You can possibly use SaveDataFiler or some other homebrew save manager to do it. I'm not entirely sure how it would work for Sky, but I would guess that you'd want to select the game on the Home Menu with the button(s) on the cart before starting SDF/your favourite save manager. Then just use SDF/the manager to export the save, and re-import it to your CIA game.

A lot of games you can transfer the save from the Sky cart direct to the cia using the official Save Data Transfer Tool (I've used it myself for this exact purpose)... but it will only work for titles of the same region as the console (both the rom on the Sky3ds and the installed cia).
Some saves will only transfer using Save Data Filer, due to the secure info (Smash Bros), but I find having a combination of the 2 or 3 homebrew save tools, Save Data Filer, and the legit transfer tool caters for all eventualities.

Hiya.

You can downgrade 9.9 easily, don't need a hardmod. There is a chance that you brick it if you are stupid, but if you use SafeSysUpdater that wont happen, unless you intentionally force the system off during the downgrade.

Since you have a New 3DS, rxTools only goes as high as 9.5 on EmuNAND, so ReiNAND would be my choice, since you can be on 10.5 EmuNAND with ReiNAND.

Use this guide but get SafeSysUpdater instead of the one used in the tutorial and you should be good. There are some steps to take care of after the downgrade, but at least the scary part is done when you've downgraded :)

If you have any questions whatsoever don't hesitate to ask! =)


So I'm working on doing this right now. Any tips for safe sysupdater? I'm using ninjhax and I get black screen everytime I click Y to downgrade.

use it to check the files if they come back good use the sysupdater from here http://gbatemp.net/threads/simple-guide-to-downgrading-your-3ds.407888/
i had to do that on my n3ds as safesysupdater didnt want to do the downgrade

I can't even get it to check the files. just black screen with some purple pixels in the bottom left, I must have tried about twenty times now. :/

Also is it okay to downgrade from 9.9.0-26U? cause the guide says "BE SURE TO BE ON 10.3 BEFORE DOWNGRADING"

    @RedColoredStars, Companies do the exact same thing with other companies as well, so it's not just Microsoft. There are 3rd-parties like 'data brokers'.

    I'm 52 years old and one of my jobs in life was marketing research. Im well aware. I've been online for around 30 years. Everyone and their grandmother already has my personal information. One more having my email address isn't ruining my life or even effecting me in any way whatsoever.

    Other windows stuff people complain about hypocritically too. Like "But but but Windows bundle junk apps!!!!" Yeah?? So do many Linux distributions. Dont like it? Use one without them. Same with windows. Either find a pre-made version without the bundled stuff, or very easily make your own installer with what you want and do not want.
