How I can use this to move from a 16 gb sd card to a 32 gb sd card?

I really don't want to mess up this...

Keep getting "read failed error=87(the parameter is incorrect)"

I read like 25 pages. So I'm guessing win 8 doesn't support this tool??? So what can I do to create a emunand backup instead?

I wanted to update my EmuNAND from 9.2 to the latest, unfortunately I do not have enough money to buy a bigger card to dump my EmuNAND. Can I use that PC tool to dump/extract it and then update/reinject it or would absolutely have to get a bigger SD?

I'm running Rei on EmuNAND and SusNAND 9.2.0, some games on my Sky3DS require updated firmware to work correctly and I don't really like having to boot into HBL to use HANS or whatnot.

hello there, I want to upgrade the size of mny SDHC of my card so I can try to install .cia files on it.

so all I have to do is:
1. format emunand on this new card
2. inject the old emunand image with this tool?

is that all?

Same here. I got my main (sysNand) backup but i dont have enough memory for a emu nand too. So i was thinking the same thing? Does this work?

Does this extraction/injection create a carbon copy of my emunand? Will all of my installed games, saves, other stuff be there? Planning on upgrading my card. Thanks

Copy of emuNAND - Yes.
Copy of games/saves - No. *these reside on the SD itself*

All the items on your SD wiil need to be copied to the new SD. All this does it just backup the emuNAND partition.

If you're swapping over to a newer-larger card (and you have the HDD space), it can be easier to just use Win32DiskImager to read out the entire SD, then write it to the new one and then extend the partition.

Otherwise you'd need to backup your current emunand, copy all the files off the SD to your PC. Then create a new emunand on the new SD, inject the backup, and restore your files.

Huh. I hope copying off the files is as easy as copying and pasting the whole content of the sd card itself?

Done it :)

- Take SD out of 3DS and copy everything to PC
- Be sure to make a new folder for that
- Make a NAND dump of the Emunand with "EmuNANDTool" (Extract emuNAND)
- Rename EmuNAND.bin to NAND.bin
- Place "Launcher.dat" on new SD
- Place NEW SD into your 3DS and boot into Gateway menu
- Format EMUNAND
- Turn off 3DS
- Place SD in cartreader and into your PC
- Start "EmuNANDTool" again and choose Inject NAND to emuNAND
- Copy everything back to your new SD

You are now ready, insert the new SD into your 3DS and boot inbto Gateway, everything is back as it was before

Something like this? Thanks by the way.

Yep, that's pretty much exactly what I said.
Though to be honest, I get tired of recreating emuNAND due to the time and having to setup GW.

I personally find it easier to just read out the entire SD to a file, then write the image back to the new SD. Then use a partition tool to extend the data partition out to the size of the new SD. Requires just a PC and no need to fuss with Emunand9 or GW or injection.

Hello, I borked my emunand and need to use a backup that I previously made. With Emunandtool 1.0.3 I am getting the error when I try to inject emunand is "emunand size is invalid" I googled it an it appears to be a common issue with that version so I went down to version 1.0.1 and tried to inject emunand again and it says access is denied. I have disabled all antivirus/antimalware and all firewalls, checked for write protection on the drive and there was none, ran the tools administrator and it is still giving me these errors.

I'm using the latest and it says that the backup is not the right size when i try to inject it. Any Ideas?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
