In this tutorial, you will be guided on how to move a save file from a cart game to a digital version of the cart game.

For NDS save transferring, see here.

What you need:

    • A 3DS modded with Luma3DS CFW
    • Checkpoint (If you do not have Checkpoint, a direct link to the .cia download is here.)
    • A 3DS Cartridge with a save in it
    • A digital version of the 3DS cartridge

steps

  • 1. Power on your 3DS and open Checkpoint
  • 2. Wait for your apps to load before selecting the save you want to transfer. If it doesn't appear, hold B to refresh and make sure you have a save file in the game
  • 3. Press L to backup the cart's save file, give the save any name you want
  • 4. On the digital copy, press the save's name and then press the R button to restore it
  • 5. Congrats you're done
