Stage 2 EX Compatibility with Stage 3

Post by aarongbarker »

Has anyone restored a Stage 2 EX to a new Stage 3? Can you load saved programs from Stage 2 EX onto a Stage 3? If so are there any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance!

It is unfortunately not possible to restore settings from a NS2(EX) -- or any previous generations -- on a NS3.

And another that says P.S. YES THE STAGE 3 SOUNDS AND PLAYS DIFFERENT FROM A STAGE 2. MOST PEOPLE PREFER IT THAT WAY.
