DS Lite Owners Don't Need to Lose Friends

Well, after the fact, TYP pointed out that the WiFi firmware has an option to transfer ALL of your settings to another DS system.  Anyone upgrading to a DS Lite can use this method for an easier transition than Smash_Bro and I went through, forcing all our friends to add us again.  If only I'd known yesterday.

Yeah on pennyarcade they mentioned something about that and I wondered if you guys would write it on some dsl faq you would eventually do.

Hmm, I figured this would only bring the "settings" over, as in the preferences of the connection, not friend codes and the like.

Dammit, I knew I should have looked further into that option.

Assumption is still the mother of all screw-ups...

EDIT: I feel like a colossal sack of stupid right about now. The transfer took exactly 3 minutes from start to finish as I moved the config from one DS to the next and back again.

Sigh. Live and learn...

At least I won't make this mistake again.
