I used the modded method so I'm not sure I can help you personally, but the people over at Discord will be very willing to help. Here is an invite to the Discord https://discord.gg/bVpaR9EY so you can get help; I'm sure they can help you. Otherwise, there is another method listed on the site that doesn't involve Python, but it only works on the New 3DS or New 2DS though. I don't know if the method is any more or less difficult, though.

Hey. Gotten around to it yet? Just checking in with a few of the "I'll do it later posts".

Hey, you looked further into getting it done yet? I've had a lot of "I'll do it later" posts, so just checking in on some people.

Hey, just checking in and seeing if you remembered to make your dump yesterday? Just in case you forgot.

Don't mean to bug you, but did you end up getting it done? Just wanting to check in.

Note that if you got the console second hand (even if it was factory reset), apparently, the SpotPass data stays on the console in the background, so it may be of more help than you think.

Edit on May 13, 2024 (Originally commented April 5): Sorry, but this information was incorrect and no data remains after a factory reset. Mainly making this edit for future readers.

Thanks a lot! Don't forget about the time-zone information so you don't miss it. April 8 at 4PM PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)

Thanks a lot for that! Why didn't I even think of doing this?

r/wiiu mods were good. Pinned my post. r/gaming on the other hand... well. They took it down because it had a singular link to this lemmy post at the bottom which was apparently spam according to the moderator I appealed to in DM's.

Something you're not understanding, or just shocked by the news?

"Long live preservation" Preserve preservation so that preserved preservation can continue to preserve what needs preserving.

Edit: Sorry, what I said below about SpotPass data sticking around after resetting the console was false information. I'm sorry to any readers if this inconvenienced you.

Since I last commented, I've learned that SpotPass data can still be stored in the background even after factory resetting (supposedly). So if you got your console pre-owned, there may be some SpotPass data to archive still hanging around.

Awesome, thank you so much for stickying the post so that more people will see this, and for dumping some data!

Thanks for the suggestion. My post over there currently has 48 upvotes and had at least one person comment they've uploaded their data; a few others said they will do it "soon" or "tomorrow"

Thanks a lot for the help!

Worth a dump, I think. I dumped my modded secondary console which is an OG 2DS which I also hardly ever use, just in case there was something there.

Edit: Ignore this comment, what I said is completely wrong. I'm sorry if I inconvenienced anyone and wasted your time dumping a console with nothing on it.

Probably not. Unless you bought it second-hand? Apparently the data still remains on the system even if it's reset, so if you bought your console pre-owned, or was given it by a friend, there may still be a large amount of data still there in the background.

Thanks for asking. I asked on the Discord server, and I was told that the Pretendo Network devs are also asking for network dumps for games that have online multiplayer support, and that you can find out about it on their website. I haven't found where on the site he was talking about yet, but I'm going to look further into it tomorrow to see if I can get any of mine dumped.

Ohh, I just found out that notifications can't be saved into the archive which is sad. I thought they could but I know now that they can't.

Edit: Scrap that. I just found out that notifications aren't able to be archived :(

I heard that some stuff can still install via SpotPass in the background without your knowledge. I'm not sure how true that is, but I do know that since the notifications are sent through SpotPass, you might also have some news articles that need archiving too (and their are region-specific articles too). I have a 2DS too as a secondary console, so I dumped my data from it as well just because I have some Australia/New Zealand exclusive ones.
