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.

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.

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.
