Hello,
This post is for people who have a significant quantity of data on their old ds and want to transfer it to their new ds system. Regrettably, the New Nintendo uses a MicroSD Card and the 3ds uses a SDHD card which is roughly five times bigger. Apparently, you can’t attempt to fit an SDHD card into a MicroSD card because it won’t fit!
Fortunately, Nintendo lets you transfer your data in two different ways. A wireless transfer which can be a full or limited transfer and a PC transfer. For the wireless transfer, you have two options. You can perform a full or limited transfer that just transfers your previous bought games such like, DSIware, ( an application store on the Nintendo DSI that uses its own points, ) or currency bought games from the “Nintendo E Shop.”
A PC transformation requires a current computer like the Windows 7 that has slots for both the SDHD and Micro SDHD card. It will overwrite all the data making it possible to the data to the MicroSD card.
Here is how to do A wireless transfer
FYI for the instructions: s is for the source system, (your old 3ds,) and t is for your target system, (your New Nintendo 3ds.)” Also, this is in order that the icons and messages will pop up.
Precautions and WARNINGS
- Make sure that both systems are equipped with maximal battery power. ( Full Data Transfers may take two- four hours and can absorb a lot of battery power.)
- Make sure they are connected to a strong Wireless local area network source. (If not or Wifi signal is lost, all data may have a strong risk of being permanently lost in the process.)
- In case one of these occur and you have done so before performing it: Overwrite all the data on a computer just in case a error occurs or you run out of power.
