Is anything saved to the 3DS console?
I've noticed that seemingly everything is saved to the SD card in the 3DS. Does the system itself have any memory itself? Or does it use the SD in it as a sort of storage for everything? And if the system does have any memory, how much storage does it have, and is it possible to access it?
