I've been following the quite simple instructions to convert a GW to a red
  • Backup your current EmuNAND and SD card contents (via EmuNAND Manager Options).
  • Either use 'Complete RedNAND Setup' or 'Format SD for EmuNAND (min size)' to setup your SD card.
  • Restore your EmuNAND and copy back the contents of your SD card.

But no matter what I do, I'm always getting hit by an i/o error on my μSD card
I'm using one of these as the card, and it only affects that card, but it's the only 32Gb card I own

I've also had the same issue dumping nands to the card, but this issue did not exist when using emunandTool 1.0.3, which is what I used to backup the nand

Replacing the SD card can be sorted out

The 3DS SD card reader has problems with certain cards (it works outside of homebrew because of software workarounds Nintendo implements). I'd suggest you use E9 just to format the card, then transfer the RedNAND via Multi EmuNAND Creator.

The Multi EmuNAND creator doesn't support RedNAND on N3DS apparently
Injecting the rednand bin folder turns it back into a GW Nand, that's all I can do, even though it's a 1.2~.3GB file

Appreciate the help

Okay, this is bad. Multi EmuNAND Creator is too smart for it's own good and classic EmuNAND Tool does not work with anything new. So... you got to get acquainted with and use the dd command line tool, and I can only give you a starter point.

For examples, see here:
http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/3DS_Fl...my_EmuNAND_partition_located_on_my_SD_card.3F

For a working, good version of dd for Windows, one is included in this package:
https://github.com/al3x10m/A9LH-Injector

EDIT: ... and, another hopefully helpful hint... you basically should only need this command:
dd if=rednand.bin of=/dev/device seek=1 count=2539520
... be extra careful with of=/dev/device - this needs to point to your SD card. Get informed about how to change this for your needs. Also, dd needs admin rights to do this.

So. Sorry for bothering, everyone.

I'm trying to boot EmuNAND9 from Luma using the BIN file, in a Nintendo 2DS.

Decrypt9 loads and works just fine (from BIN too). I just made a backup.

I've searched everywhere, and read a lot, but couldn't find someone else with a similar issue. What could be wrong?

I've also tried naming it arm9loaderhax.bin in the root, so that A9LH loads it directly. I got the same result.

This is what I get:

You are using @Shadowtrance's graphical UI version, but you haven't copied the graphics files to your SD card. What you need to do it either use the text version (mine), or copy the grahics files to your SD card.

Hi @d0k3,

I'm getting errors with your latest EmuNAND commit (1f072ae7).

Top menu:
Code:
EmuNAND: SD not ready
SD storage: unknown filesystem

I tested Format SD (no EmuNAND)
Code:
Unknown or corrupt file system
...
Unknown error /  something went wrong here
...
Format SD (no EmuNAND): failed!

Reverting to your latest release
https://github.com/d0k3/EmuNAND9/releases/download/20160420/EmuNAND9-20160420-141209.zip

seems to resolve the problem. Is anyone getting this issue?
someone else and I are also getting this on New3DS. I believe this worked fine for me on Old3DS.

This is pretty strange - that commit should not have that effect, and the other ones since the release should not either. I'll do a test build later today, would you be willing to give it a try?

Okay, seems like I already found the issue, just a small typo. Could you try this test build?

If that still does not work, I'll need some info on what you used to format those SD cards and what sizes they are.

EmuNand tool is practice when you don't have too many space on your SD for generate the backup directly on it, like me xD

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

especially when you nand's size is 1.8 gb...

Use Multi EmuNAND Creator instead, if you need a on PC EmuNAND tool. Also, use RedNAND as created by EmuNAND9, and you will be able to do the backup via any imager tool ;).
