Requirements:
- Original 3DS/3DS XL or 2DS
- Firmware 9.2
- Emunand
- Gateway (Only if you are trying to export/import .3DS/.3DZ save files)
- rxTools (only essential for Retail Cart backup)
- SaveDataFiler
Disclaimers/Assumptions:
1- This guide doesn't cover N3DS. It might work with those steps, but the retail cart won't work as N3DS cannot use rxTools.
2- I did not test this with Card2 games, so I am not sure if those steps will work fine for those games.
3- You can use other CFW instead of rxTools such as Cakes. I'm using rxTools as an example only.
4- As usual, use everything at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that may go wrong.
Before you do anything, make sure to backup your entire SD card!
