How to Install Emunand on MicroSD

Here is a short simple installation guide for MicroSD Emunand using SX OS 2.3

Proper Emunand installation:

1- Start SX Payload bin
2- Go to the Options menu and Create Emunand (Takes a while)
3- Turn off the system without booting
4- Remove MicroSD and insert into PC
5- Rename the Nintendo folder in the root of the MicroSD cart, into "Emutendo"
6- Insert MicroSD back into Switch
7- Boot Switch into OFW
8- Power off
9- Boot into CFW
10- Power off
11- Boot hekate mod 4.2
12- Restore your full raw nand backup that you had before WITHOUT restoring Boot0 and Boot1 (unless you've upgraded using ChoiDujour before)
13- ???
14- Profit!

If you want to upgrade your CFW, you can just use ChoiDujourNX without problems. It will only update your CFW version (Be sure to disable AutoRCM if needed)

Hope that the instructions are clear. If not, dick might get stuck

Edit: If someone wants to make a more detailed guide, be my guest to take these steps as your guidance.

I, too, do not have a clean copy of my nand. I didn't dump and back up my nand until AFTER I had already installed SX OS (I know I'm an idiot for that...). Should I still restore the nand I have backed up?

Yes, the cleaner it is, the better.
And hope for the best

How much space it will need? I tried having around 31GB of free space on my SD (FAT32) and it starts dumping the files but after a minute says "not enough space"

Thanks: i'll try this now !
Have you any idea how to check if the Switch is banned without connecting to the internet ?
Can i potentially upgrade the emunand safely ?

Thanks for this. Any game compatibility issues or drawbacks for using emunand? Like it is already using 32GB on the microsd itself which is huge.

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release

    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will

    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
