ok thanks, Im a bit confused on how to get the whole thing copied over correctly. Instructions are a bit confusing.

whats the deal with the EmuTools sofware? is it copying over all files except games? The bulk of the files look like they are in the nintendo folder. ie the size of the nintendo folder is very much all of the data

Emutool as stated on the OP is a software for backup and conver raw partitions of emuNANADs

The other partition is normal data you can backup easy as copying files

Jebus thanks I should have really invested in a bigger memory card from the offset that looks really complicated but I will give it a go at least.

if I can get this to work, does it mean I need to make a new backup within atmosphere of all of my new partitions?

you installed the full version of MiniTool, install the home version, it do not ask for payment.
it is difficult now to get the home version
im guessing i installed it before and now it doesnt let me do anything

im looking for other programs but nothing is as good so far

I used the full version of Aomei to partition the SD card, then used the free version of Minitool to reformat the parition. Have to torrent the Full version of Aomei

the guide is not very great tbh a few screen shots would have helped, ok I found something else called ease US partition

after struggling a bit is this how the new partition on the Bigger SD card should look?

Im currently using Emu Tools to copy my partition over, but I noticed already that the fat32 partition with the bulk of space is actually not visible to windows yet.

If that FAT32 parititon doesn't read later, reformat it.

I think I understand the story for the 29.2 GB partition

but as for my original memory card's fat 32 partition - is it just a case of actually copy and pasting directly from the old card to the new card? is that the best way to do it

I saw something pop up regarding a nintendo folder just wondered

oh and that fat 32 partition, does it need to be a primary or logical partition?

Primary, but first see if your SD card can see it or not, if it doesn't see it that why you need to format it again, Im not sure if you need to do it, but I need to do that when I did 2x emunand.

ok I formatted it and now windows sees the drive

bit nervous about this but we'll see if it works


If you are converted your EmuNAND from SXOS to Atmosphere and you didn't shrink your EmuNAND you need to copy the files in the EMUTENDO folder contents from SXOS to the Atmosphere NINTENDO folder (emuMMC/XXXX/Nintendo, XXXX is a Alpha Numeric 4 digit ID) this should make everything compatible work.
(Remember games installed with the built in SXOS installer will probably need to be reinstalled.)


Does the above apply to me?

No it doesn't apply to you, since you have no SX OS emunand.

Well first you should try to see if the emunand work or not, you need to use hekate to fix it


You mean this:

Make EmuNAND visible to Atmosphere.
  1. Unzip Hekate files to the ROOT of your SD.
  2. Insert SD in to the Switch
  3. Boot Hekate using the hekate payload and your favorite payload launching method.
  4. Select EmuMMC
  5. Select Migrate EmuMMC
  6. Select Fix Raw
  7. Select OK


In my example I just need to unzip hekate to the root of the fat 32 drive and follow instructions?

is that like being done to save me time?

yes, cause if you can't access the hekate then you have to format the 441.99GB again

    @Xdqwerty I like how the game had the middle ages 1000AD, the dark ages 600AD.It was great seeing the post robot apocalypse 2300 like Terminator and enter the matrix. some of mad max and fallout. 2300ad though it could had used more elements instead of just a generic ai uprising. It was a great idea for their judgement day to be 1999 Y2K.

    -great additions if they would have made an expansion or dlc in my opinion would be finding out humans trapped in a matrix -

    a follower having a cyborg character living tissue over metal endoskelleton like terminator, and the synths from fallout
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    4After Zeal fell it would have been good to see more ancient eras. Perhaps Sumeria based in one area, then Egypt based in another area, Greek based in another area, then roman based in another area before the middle ages.---------

    ----between 1000ad and 1999 is a big gap they should have had the age of revolution like the american and French Revolution

    then the cowboyy era in one area of map and the Industrial revolution/age of enlightmentthen a ww1 and ww2 and a cold war era
