Comment on Day 775 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing
Baaron87@lemmy.world 1 week agoOh, nice! That will definitely be doable then. I was able to get ftp to work once, but that was with Bazzite. I’ve mainly been moving the micro SD card instead of trying to resolve the ftp issue lol.
In that case the simplest path for you would be to take your saves, put the ones you want to move into PK Vault (haven’t had luck with OpenHome on Linux) and send them to either a gen 6 or gen 7 save. PK Vault will give you a heads up if there’s any potential issues before migrating. Then from there, to the 3DS > Bank > Home

FTP for me will work for like 5 minutes and then decide “nope. We’re not doing this” and crap out on me lol. I’d move the micro SD Card but I have the battery and stuff duck taped in because the back plate went missing and started flaking apart (N3DSXL Model).
I’ll look into Open Home, I was using Pkhex to trade them into ORAS Before, but Pkhex is finicky to find saves with so OpenHome might be a better option

Ah, yeah. Last I tried ftp I got it to connect but any subsequent attempts it would act like it wasn’t available. I modded a N2DSXL so the Micro SD isn’t as cumbersome to get to. The system is a massive fingerprint magnet though lol.
That back plate can be a pain to deal with if it breaks or goes missing. Definitely don’t blame wanting to not mess with that. (It’s why I opted to not mod my N3DSXL). May be worth getting a replacement from a donor system or an aftermarket replacement down the road.
Hopefully you have better luck with OpenHome than I did. The appimage would consistently crash for me on Bazzite (was able to get it working on an old MacBook I have laying around, but I’m not going to add another device just to use it lol); I’d think CachyOS would have an easier time with it, which I think there’s multiple ways to install it there in comparison if I remember right

I might try and see if a static IP for my 3DS will help it. I doubt it would but it doesn’t hurt to hope.
Honestly I have gripes about the entire shell of the N3DSXL. The backplate on the upper and lower screens are this cheap vinyl material that peeled off so easily from average use. I honestly don’t know what they were thinking. I hope someone out there eventually comes up with a mod that replaces it with something better. Until then though I’ve been eyeing a shell swap but I’m not sure because I know it’s just gonna start peeling again
I’ll let you know how Open Home goes once I get it setup. I know Cachy has a bit of Setup with Appimages I think but I haven’t ever really had any big issues with them
