Precautions when transferring Nintendo DSiWare
Only Nintendo DSiWare software programs will be transferred to your Nintendo 3DS XL system. The DSiWare
save data will not be transferred.
When you transfer DSiWare from your Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL system, both
software and save data will be erased from the original system. Do not transfer Nintendo DSiWare unless you are willing to
lose the save data associated with that DSiWare.
DSiWare and save data will be erased
NOTE: DSiWare will be saved in the System Memory of your Nintendo 3DS XL system. It cannot be transferred if there is
insufficient space in the System Memory of your system. If necessary, go to Data Management under System Settings and
copy previously saved DSiWare to the SD Card (see page 54), and then delete them from System Memory.
If DSiWare has been deleted or copied to an SD Card...
If you purchased a license for DSiWare and then deleted that DSiWare or copied it to an SD Card, you can still transfer
it even though it is no longer saved on the system. In this case, system transfer does not save the software itself on
the Nintendo 3DS XL system, but it does allow you to re-download the software from Nintendo eShop and play it on
that system.
Only the account activity showing your DSiWare purchase is transferred
