Talk:Data transfer

The moast surefire (and shortest) way of transfering data is to use a link cable, but if you don't have one or don't have the original game but you want a password that you know works then you can find a working password generator at: http://home.earthlink.net/~paul3/goldensun.html (it is virus free, I scaned it)

Doing a data transfer on the switch

Hello! Just wanted to put this out there and see if anyone else is having a problem. I have finished GS and am trying to transfer the saved data to the second game. This is on the Gameboy Advance "emulator" on the Switch they just released. I took pictures of each page for the gold code. Went through line by line 3 times and it keeps popping as invalid password. So, is it possible to transfer data on the games on the Switch? Firstmatewolfe (talk) 01:45, 2 February 2024 (CST)

You would have better luck showing the Golden Sun Reddit screenshots of not only all six pages of the GS1 Gold Password but also all six pages of the Gold Password you tried to put into GS2. I've seen them point out inconsistencies between what GS1 shows and what players have tried putting into GS2 even when the player's positive they recreated the password exactly, since it's so easy to mix up a capital and lowercase letter and a "+" for a "t". Since the Reddit never had hundreds of people proclaim it's impossible to transfer data between the two games on Nintendo Switch Online, I'm positive it's possible.

Kraden's Beard, they avoided the l-I-1 problem but the i-j problem is horrendous, it's not the only one. These have plagued us for years. Marandahir (talk) 21:55, 2 February 2024 (CST)
