Hello,

How big is the SD card? That will help determine the space you need or if you just need to buy a bigger SD card

Is it a new (4gig) or old (2gig) 3DS?

Kayxo · Apr 10, 2016

It is the NEW 3ds XL

Strange. Well, you can go into system settings, data management, and there will be a list of what's installed. Maybe there are things like YouTube or Badge Arcade you can get rid of.

In any case you only need to free up room for one back up, which is around 1.3gb

Okay, ill let you no thank you.

If you are able to free up enough to dump one NAND, I would recommend getting a larger card before going through the Plailect guide.

You need to do this since you have an EmuNAND:

- backup your old Sd card content
- use emunand9 to dump your emunand.bin
- use emunand9 on your new sd card to create a brand new emunand
- reinject your emunand.bin in this new emunand
- paste back your sd backup on your new sd card

Ok great thanks I had another SD card handy (16gb) and got it to work! THanks for your help

Kayxo · Apr 10, 2016

Now i get a message after backuping up sysNAND...
"SD if not formatted for emuNAND"

regnad · Apr 10, 2016

Did you do what I said? You can't just copy the SD because the EmuNAND is on a hidden partition that won't just copy over. You have to go through the process I listed above.

Kayxo · Apr 10, 2016

So I am in emunand9 where do i go after to dump? do i do this in cakes?

EDIT: Ok, i got it. Dumping EmuNAND currently

Kayxo · Apr 10, 2016

It said failed. 0 space available fsjdfdfj s im a mess :|

regnad · Apr 10, 2016

If I'm not mistaken Emunand9 won't even open in EmuNAND.

Format your 16gb SD using Panasonic SD Formatter. Get into EmuNAND9 using your old SD on SysNAND. Then if I'm not mistaken you can hit select to unmount the SD. Take it out, put in the new one, then set up the new one for EmuNAND.

Im actually in sysnand tho when i open homebrew

regnad · Apr 10, 2016

Were you ever able to free up 1.3gb on the old one in System Settings data management? Do that. Dump the EmuNAND. Put that bin on the new SD. Inject that into the EmuNAND you just set up on the new one. Copy the rest of the old SD onto the new SD.

You should be good to go then.

There is nothing to erase accept Internet so i did that..

What's better this arm9 thing or rxtools?
Im just trying to make it so i can get online access and also be able to use savemanager for animal crossing..
I have been working on this for almost a month and not to sure the easiest way to get the right thing on my ds to do simple thing.

Im not trying to play games for other region but just simply have access to Savemanager in homebrew and have online access. Any suggestions? I feel like starting all over again for the 5th time lol :|

regnad · Apr 10, 2016

Let me know if I'm unclear! I don't have my 3DS in front of me.
