How did you do that?

Okay so technically this is on me for not backing up the raw 3DS folder before attempting this. Basically I had switched to a larger card to fit MH3U on because it didn't fit on the default 2g card. But I wanted recently to transfer over all of the downloaded titles I had on the old card finally.

This is where I get stupid, but to be fair their system is stupid as well. I was stupid because I didn't manually back up the entire card just in case, but they were stupid because there is absolutly no rhyme or reason to how files are stored in the 3DS folder, its all folders with names like 000007 and 000a12 with no way to tell what's associated with what game or whatever. So I couldn't actually locate the MH specific files to back them up.

So I copied the folder with all the old 3DS games onto my harddrive, and then inserted the larger card. I dragged the folder with the old games onto the card. I assumed I would be able to merge the contents of both folders and have all the games.

There was no option to merge. I reflexivly hit replace. Five seconds into the process I recognized what I had just done and cancelled in a panic, but it was too late.

 

[GulAtiCa]

neat. Works well. Though not available for Animal Crossing.

Edit: Can have more then 1 backup per game!

 

[slaughterking]

Yea, how do you trigger the Mii Plaza update? Did you go to eShop?

Just start the Plaza app after getting the newest 3DS firmware.

 

[Exterminieren]

Well, no Streetpass Quest 3, but there are new DLC games to play to unlock new hats in.

Nintendo's F2P game revealed?

 

[Samurai_Heart]

At least they are fixing Streetpass for the west else I'll be mad lol XD

 

[Son of a Witch]

5€ for each of the four new games. I'll pass...

e: 15€ for the complete pack.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Just start the Plaza app after getting the newest 3DS firmware.

Doesn't work for me. Are you guys who can access it in Europe?

[DaBoss]

There's a little left arrow now on the bottom of the bottom screen of the 3DS Home Menu. Press on it and you can create a backup save.

K, thanks.

Just start the Plaza app after getting the newest 3DS firmware.

Hmm, nothing is happening, will keep trying.

[enzo_gt]

[Cbajd5]

Wait are the people seeing the new games not in North America?

Didn't the tease for all this say it'd be better for non-Americans sooner?

I NEED MORE HATS

also i get why you can't back up animal crossing save data but it's still lame

 

[Astral/H3X]

Whoo! Finally a decent way to do this. Now if I lose my 3DS I should be able to get back basically everything without skipping a beat.

 

[Frolow]

Anyone in North America get the Streetpass DLC yet?

 

[SuperSah]

Doesn't allow it for Animal Crossing.

That's shit.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Xenoblade puzzle piece, really?

 

[DaBoss]

Anyone in North America get the Streetpass DLC yet?

It doesn't seem to download for me yet.

Nothing yet for me in Canada.

 

[LayLa]

EU here, got a Xenoblade puzzle piece too
every time i go into the mii plaza shop it crashes

 

[DaBoss]

Nothing yet for me in Canada.

I'm gonna guess this is what Emily Rogers meant by getting it later for us NA folk.

 

[spindashing]

More...hats?!!!!!!!!!

 

[SuperSah]

Y CAN I NOT BACKUP MY DIGITAL ANIMAL CROSSING?!


Makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[gogogow]

It crashes when I wanted more information about Streetpass squad, the bunny takes out something and I get an error message.

 

[Exterminieren]

It's not just hats any more. The category is outfits.

There are 172 spaces. I'm now sporting a fetching pixel-art Mario hat.

 

[CLEEK]

But you could backup saves anyway. Just copy the content of the SD card to your PC. The .sav game save files for DD games were under the \..\..\..\title\.. folders.

e.g. .\Nintendo 3DS\2759ad88e6b3404de0152b033419088b\227300bb641019304e43617200734247\title\00040000\00042a00\data

My 4yo accidentally deleted our Luigi's Mansion game save while on holiday. I'd backed up the SD card before leaving, and was able to recover it when we got back home.

 

[DrWong]

Good news! I'll wait before updating though, seems to be some issues.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

And that's like the only game I want to back up!

Uh that sucks. Don't worry though, actually you CANT backup MH data. Yes, I just backed up Brain training, Fire emblem, Etrian Oddysey, but can't do it for monster hunter. Welp

 

[Salsa]

wait so is this is better to backup animal crossing digital saves?

 

[gogogow]

What Xenoblade puzzle piece? I got a Skyward Sword one...

 

[The Technomancer]

Uh that sucks. Don't worry though, actually you CANT backup MH data. Yes, I just backed up Brain training, Fire emblem, Etrian Oddysey, but can't do it for monster hunter. Welp

I feel a little bit better now.

A little bit.

Plus my friends are going to let me sit in on a few G-Rank hunts next time we hunt together, so I can make just one weapon that will let me grind back up the ranks at lightning speed.

Well it prevents save abuse or something. It makes a bit of sense at least.

Doesn't work with Animal Crossing for whatever reason.
