Hello! I looked a while for an answer to this question, and came out empty. So I just got a new digital copy of AC:NL, and I also have the cartridge version. When I streetpass with people, which town will transfer over? If I never talk to Digby in the digital version, will my regular cartridge version's streetpass information still be sent over? Basically, I'm asking what happens when you have multiple towns on one 3DS in regards to streetpass.

Also, the cartridge version is my main town. Thanks in advance!

I'm not 100% But it is very likely that both towns would streetpass, if not it is most likely the first game file/cartridge you had first.
 
From what I've observed, you need to have the game open and your character selected to have your data sent out - not having the game open will allow you to receive streetpassed towns, but it won't send your own town to another player, at least with the cartridge version. I have no idea whether it works the same with the digital version, and I don't know whether both towns will be able to receive the streetpass data.

Tl;dr - the town that will be shared is the game that you have open.
 
Only one copy of ACNL gets the streetpass. I lost streetpass to my digital copy by opening it first.
When you see the green light on ACNL open the game that you want the streetpass to go to. Also make sure to use the player that is trying to get the badge.
I didn't know about this and my 2nd 3DS got their streetpass badge first. I wasn't very happy.

To make sure you do get a streetpass tag open ACNL before you go out. It just to be sure that the last game you played was ACNL. I started doing this after I took 2 3DS out. Got a tag and found out one of my systems was tag was systems setting. So I lost tags.

If you do play on the go you might lose streetpasses while in dialog or coming into a building. I noticed the 2 3Ds weren't tagging each other. Found out I closed the 3DS too soon on one of the systems. The player didn't make it into the building so it was black.

Do you have your spotpass on for your digital copy? If you shut that off your other copy wouldn't get tags or be able to visit the showcase.
