I followed all the instructions successfully from Part 1 up to Part 2. Then got to step 6 and that's where things stopped me from advancing. I select the REDNAND.bin and attempted to inject it with the emuNAND Tool and when I clicked the inject button, it gives me this message: "Error! Invalid NAND file size!"

This is everything that's happening in steps:

My 2nd SD card was in my 3DS and it said GW 4.2.0-9U under the settings.
I turned off my 3DS and inserted that SD card into my laptop.
Now I currently have my SD card plugged into my laptop.
I'm running the 'emuNAND Tool 1.0.3'
I clicked [extract emuNAND] button.
I save the emuNAND file to a location...
It finishes and it created a file called emuNAND.bin.
I drag and drop it to a .bat program called 'drag_emunand_here'
A window opens and tells me it's adding dummy data... please wait
Saw a temporary dummy.bin file in the same location folder....
After a SUCCESS message pops up stating: REDNAND.bin was created!
The dummy.bin file disappears....
Pressed [OK] from that SUCCESS pop up.
Then on the emuNAND tool clicked [Inject NAND to emuNAND]
I select REDNAND.bin
.....and then I get that message I had mentioned earlier.
emunandtool_1 "Error! Invalid NAND file size!"

What am I doing wrong? This is so frustrating :////
download 1.0.1 emunand tool, 1.0.3 didn't allow me as well

So if I have a 4.5CFW and then install emunand...
Can't I just use my GW card to install bigbluemenu inside the emunand and then not need my GW card anymore? (and exclusively utilize cia's?)

Does Palantine CFW have support for the red card? I don't think so.
Also, if you have a red card, why not use Gateway's immensly better support?

Just trying to find a solution so my buddy can play Zelda MM and he's too cheap to buy the GW Card.
I could boot him into emunand mode via GW but then if he restarts he'd need me to hold his hand again to get him into Emunand.

Thought maybe this CFW could get him into the same GW emunand but not needing GW card to get there.

MM uses 7.X keys, might as well quit now.
Either get a GW or don't play Zelda

So... I just installed the 4.5 CFW on (emu)RedNAND.

But I could install the 9.4 on EmuNAND, and install CIA's on there too via the Dev Menu?
I have a GW myself, buy my friend is also too cheap to get one.

So.. essentially, you could have EmuNAND with updates from GW, but without a GW card. And load CIA's?

+1 That's where I'm lost. Why can't that be done?

Probably because GW uses a hardware exploit to remove all of the checks and stuff but cfw is simply a software exploit, you may have noticed that the GW card doesn't actually have a .3ds rom on it like the last gen flashcards did (for .nds) it boots by reading and exploiting the hardware on the card, why do you think it requires you to insert the GW card before booting emunand? if it was merely out of profit someone would have found a work around by now but i could be wrong.
