Tips on using 2 3ds machines..street pass ect

[Classygirl]

I know there are users here who have access to and use more than one machine, I got a second for Xmas. If anyone has tips on working this, can even pm me. Little questions like I have street pass turned off on my first the main town but should I keep this off, if any of my towns has a voider lurking I don't know of I could pick them up by interacting between not likely as haven't ever had that happen should be clear unless Jays adopter doesn't come forward but can clear first.

After I move around my towns maybe try moving some animals between two towns am planning to cycle. Not sure if with new machine when starting, only use carts to start with a blank cart never used on that machine for this to work. I have had a spare a long time for when ready to cycle and got another for the new ds as a moving/holding town and one to be a main for that particular machine I guess.

These all seem probably like silly questions but with multi cart towns and ever only one ds I have questions on connecting between or mistakes people have made or tips learned and as some have family with machines or more than one probably know better than I some little tips. I read a board where the person asked pros and cons of a second copy and being better if have two machines came up as to the benefits and more doors that opens but I don't know what those are. Just looking for any advice, can message me if want or have any tips to offer about your experience with carts and two ds machines with more than one town. Just setting it up right and not making mistakes or using main copy as start up it's just overwhelming. I know I can switch the carts in and back between and visit myself as well with both but feel it should be started with clean cart. My questions are actually really basic info stuff but I know long posts can be overwhelming so any tips on the 2 machine dynamic appreciated it's a little overwhelming probably making more of it than is but running two at once if not used to it likely takes some getting used to.

You can streetpass with each system around every 8 hours, but I only have one 3DS. You should ask more specific questions, then it`s easier to answer here

I'm not sure that I understand some of your questions but I'll try to help. If you don't want to get villagers from the void through StreetPassing, switch off SP on one (or both) of them. You can still pick up voided villagers from the other game if you connect both via wifi, though. If you're only connecting them to pick up villagers (for example, if one town is a cycling town and you want to invite a villager from it into your regular town), that's not an issue since the villager you invite will be the one who moves in.

You don't need to use a new cartridge on a new 3DS, you can use a cartridge that you already own if you have more than one. I think you can use either cartridge in either 3DS, because you can have unlimited physical copies of ACNL in one 3DS, so it should be fine to swap cartridges. If you have digital copies, you can only have one per 3DS.

I think the benefits people usually talk about are being able to jumpstart a new town by trading over bells and items from the town they've played most, or being able to use a spare town for extra storage, holding villagers, cycling for dreamies, things like that. I don't have multiple copies of the game or 3DS so I don't have any experiences of my own.

I have 2 3ds'es for streetpass and I love it, currently at 475 tags with myself since August, it's awesome. I have a second town I use for storage and stuff.
