Hello and welcome to GBATemp! :toot:
Depends on if you have cfw installed or not(on both systems), you might not need to do a system transfer if you do..

If both systems are cfw'ed, you can dump your games & back up your saves on your old system and install/ restore them on your new system, without the need of doing a system transfer.
huh. didnt think about that
ill consider it... but it might be long to install 200+ games of 300mb and over

System transfer won't be fast either. Btw, you also have the option to install games with custom-install on pc instead of on the 3ds, i recommend using because it's much faster.
System Transfer would not copy game contents over, you just put the SD card in the new console and already installed games will work. If they want to transfer things like NNID then a proper transfer is needed and recommended.

You should set up custom firmware on the new console first and then: https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/3DS:System_Transfer/Target_has_CFW

I thought the Nintendo 3ds folders are unique to the system, or is that somehow an exception to the rule (after transferring nnid, profile data etc.) ?

In practice it is, but it's actually based on the movable.sed. A System Transfer will move it over, so it will be used as-is on the target console.

Yes i know that. if you still have to do a system transfer then it isn't as simple as "putting the sd card in the sd card in the target system and installed games will work" as you said in your previous comment.

It is once you do the system transfer, which I guess I didn't make clear in my original post.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
