Note that, on some versions of Luma3DS, the Luma3DS chainloader menu is only displayed if there is more than one payload detected. If there is only one payload detected, holding (Start) on boot will directly launch GodMode9.

#### What ye need
* Two 3DS systems

+ If your game behaves normally and does not give you an error about `boot.nds`, then you should stop and figure out what went wrong
+ If you get a black screen, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#twl_broken)
+ If the game is missing from **the target 3DS** or has an error about corrupted or inaccessible save data, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#ts_dsiware)
##### Section III - System Transfer
1. If **the target 3DS** has a Nintendo Network ID on it, you must format the device using System Settings:
+ Go to the last page of "Other Settings" and select "Format System Memory", then follow all instructions
1. Read the following:
+ Your CFW 3DS = the source 3DS = "Source System"
+ Your Stock 3DS = the target 3DS = "Target System"
+ **Move DSiWare titles if prompted!**
+ Do **NOT** delete the source system's SD card contents if prompted
+ Make sure neither device's battery dies during the transfer
+ 2DS/Old 3DS (source) to New 3DS (target) only - if asked which method you wish to use to transfer the SD card data:
+ **Do NOT** choose the "Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer" or minimal option (option 2), it will only transfer tickets and likely will not transfer the DSiWare save.
+ Fast Method: If you have the ability to move the data from the SD card (source) to the microSD card (target), when prompted use the "PC-Based Transfer" option (option 3).
+ Slowest Method: If you don't have the ability to move the data on a PC use the **full** "Wireless Transfer" option (option 1).

+ Call Nintendo and tell them you no longer have access to the device that your NNID is linked to (which is **the target 3DS** in this case), and would like it linked to a different device (which is **the source 3DS** in this case)
+ You can also just [remove the NNID](https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting#rm_nnid) from **the source 3DS** if you'd prefer it remain on **the target 3DS**
1. Reboot **the source 3DS** while holding (Start) to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu
