Import Mode

In this mode, you can import CIA files on an SD Card into importable media.
Press the A Button, then press the A Button again to confirm that you want to import the program.
The media into which the CIA file is imported is automatically determined from the CIA file information.
While holding the L and R Buttons, press the A Button to import all CIA files in the current directory.
If an error occurs while importing all files, any files not yet imported at the time of the error will not be imported.

Save data is retained if you re-import a program that has already been imported.
However, if the application being imported has a differently sized save data region than the application being overwritten, then the entire contents of the save data region are cleared. If you need to clear the save data, delete the imported program in program list mode before importing it again.

If you attempt to import a file that is identical to a program that was previously imported, the following message will appear, and the import will be canceled.

 Program already exists.
 Import canceled.

If the SD Card is write-protected by the LOCK switch, then the following message will appear, and file operations will be disabled. Make the SD Card writeable and try again.

 SD Card is write protected.

Expanded Save Data Mode

In this mode, you can display and delete expanded save data. You can only delete expanded save data on a per-ID basis. To delete, select the ID of the directory with data you want to delete, and press the X Button.
