New Nintendo 3DS XL System Transfer via Smartphone hotspot!
14Here is my silly but successful New 3DS transfer story:
I pre-ordered the Black XL version, got it today on my lunch break at work. I then proceeded to do a system transfer in my car via my smart phone hot spot right next to GameStop since they would not allow me to do the system transfer in the store due to it being too busy and they didn't want lots of people crowding all doing system transfers asking for their Internet. I could understand that, so I did it all in my car, lol.
-12 minutes to update new handheld to current firmware via my phone hotspot.
-15 minutes to nearly complete the system transfer from old 3DS to New 3DS XL, my phone turned my hotspot off due to inactivity since both systems only connect at the start and end of the system transfer.
-15 more minutes to redo the system transfer while making sure my phone hotspot was active.
-2 minutes to get the New 3DS XL up and going after the transfer and have the DSi games moved.
-2 minutes to open the back of the New 3DS, remove microsd and insert my new microsd already pre-loaded the night before from back up file on my PC. It was amazingly easy to open the back of the New 3DS guys, the screws didn't come out it just popped off really smoothly without having to pry or force it.
I walked back to GameStop, traded in my old 3DS with it's adapter, got my $75 bucks back and went back to my car, turned my new system back on and it works like magic, only took about 45 minutes, even after needing to start the process over.
Anyone else do it this way?
