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.
Ohh, I just found out that notifications can't be saved into the archive which is sad. I thought they could but I know now that they can't.
Edit: Scrap that. I just found out that notifications aren't able to be archived :(
I heard that some stuff can still install via SpotPass in the background without your knowledge. I'm not sure how true that is, but I do know that since the notifications are sent through SpotPass, you might also have some news articles that need archiving too (and their are region-specific articles too). I have a 2DS too as a secondary console, so I dumped my data from it as well just because I have some Australia/New Zealand exclusive ones.
No worries! Yes, the dump unfortunately won't have any use after the 8th. This is because the useful part of the dump is a URL which the devs need in order to access the content from Nintendo's servers before they shut down. Once the servers are down, the URL's can technically still be dumped, but they will just now be useless.
Awesome. Thanks for helping out!
Follow the instructions on the main website for the project which I've linked in the post. https://spotpassarchive.github.io/
Ah, great! Glad I mentioned it.
Maybe convert the times to your time zone if you want to make sure of the correct date/time.
Thanks a lot for the help!
