Hacking Is There A Maximun CIA Limit In EmuNAND?

[cearp]

They can, but generally aren't, for safety.

What do you personally think is dangerous about it? Games only get installed to sd

So if I install a Colors! cia to sysNAND or a 4 Swords cia to sysNAND it won't brick it?

lol you will be ok

But how do I do it if emuNAND is set up. My 3ds is on 4.5.

Delete emunand, you can back it up first. Or use a different SD card

Oh ok. But will cia's boot and be fully playable in sysNAND.

cearp, i thought it was harmful to install cia to sysNAND...?

I think in theory if it is a bad cia it can cause issues, like a bad wad on the Wii. It least that is the fear.

I guess so.

So its a 'its probably safe but not recommended' things?

well devmenu tells you want kind of cia it is, if it is a system one, or regular game/app.
so if someone created a malicious cia that would brick your system(it's possible to do it), you would see that it is not a regular game cia, if you want to be careful only install games/apps

That is it. I know some ppl refused to instal WADs on sysNAND on wii because they were afraid of bricking. Honestly, just d/l from a legit source that has been proven in the past, and you'll be fine. If you wanna go the extra step, just practice install in emuNAND.

So a game .cia that is faulty will still not brick your 3ds?

Will Colors! and 4 Swords (DSiWare) boot if installed in sysNAND?

no, if you do not have rights for them, you cannot play them, just like any game. GW patches that out so you can play stuff you are not supposed to, but it doesn't work with dsiware

What if I had Colors! in the past? Will it work?

yes it should

 

[Tank Dempsey]

yes it should

Thanks cearp for all your help. I really appreciate it.

Just one more question: If I want to install cia's in sysNAND and use another sd card instead of deleting emuNAND, would I have to use the browser exploit or ds profile.

That depends on the version of sysnand you are running. <=4.5 DS profile, >4.5 browser

You're probably limited more by available space then the space emunand/sysnand has to store the information for each title. As I recall FAT32 (the only file system the 3DS supports) can't go higher then 64GB from what I've heard. So even if you can get a 128GB card installed I don't think the 3DS could ever be able to use it all. The gateway card supports exfat for the MicroSD file system, so I think the sky is the limit on that one.
