i have a question regarding this,when i was trying to update emunand with the cia update files i downloaded using 3DSNUS v1.8 do you think it's possible for some of these cia files to have installed to the sys nand instead even though i was in gw emunand mode ?
When you say "update emuNAND via cia" do you mean you were trying to update the emuNAND firmware from 9.x to 9.5 or something? Or were you installed DLC update CIA's for games?
i was testing this method because it's handy to have away to update to 9.5 in offline mode.

Yea, but it's fun to experiment. That's how we learn new things
true but i think it's handy to have 9.5 update in CIA format. i haven't giving up yet,Ground said he will try to fix it next week.
Considering you tried to do a system update from a CIA, yes it is very possible that it started updating sysNAND in some degree. For example, if you update firmware from an eShop prompt, you will in fact be updating sysNAND even if you access eshop through emuNAND. It's always recommended to open system settings in emuNAND GW mode and run the firmware updates from there.
It sounds very likely you partially updated your sysNAND.
OK so I finally got my JP OoT3D copy in today and Gateway worked thank god. I backed up the system nand and formatted emunand and was going to update to 9.5 but there's no GW3D in front of my system version (8.1J). 3.1.1 was supposed to fix this so I'm cautious if I should update or not... :/
Apparently I am supposed to change the language and it will be fixed but I don't think you can do that on a JP system.

True but it helps to know if works in the first place before branching off and having fun.Yea, but it's fun to experiment. That's how we learn new things
you got me really worried now because when i format a new emunand & try to update it via CIA i got messages from some of the 9.5 cia update files saying they can't be copied because they already exist BUT they exist where if the emunand is 9.0 ?
or maybe 3DSNUS v1.8 is not downloading the correct 9.5 files ? anyway Ground is waiting for his CN copy to arrive next & then he will look into it & try to fix it.
If you're using a USB3 port, try an USB2 port. Also if your mb had one of those USB accelerator deals you MIGHT want to try removing that although I haven't had any problems with ASUS' version on my p9x79 machine that is my primary desktop, nor with ASROCK's util on a 990fx extreme9 machine.
Also be aware those cheapo USB/uSD/whatever adapters can be flakey as all hell anyways. I have a pile of about 20 of them but really only trust 2 of them to any degree, and when I want to be absolutely certain I use either my old macbook pro's builtin multicard reader/writer(mostly for flashing osx boot media) or one of my newer notebook's similar builtin multi format r/w.
BTW: also "decent" readers are generally just a rebrand of one of those $0.25 USB stick readers with some other companies rebrand on it and a hefty profit margin. Seriously the only USB general I/O devices that you need to worry about are the FPGA programmers and FTDI serial devices. BOTH of which have tons of clones and FTDI made an ass move semi-bricking the clones a few months back, but they backed down as admittedly most of us don't have an electron microscope handily available in the garage or basement to check them out. The clones appear to have been reverse engineered and on a scanning electron microscope have an obviously different layout but are otherwise functionally equivalent with the only potentially "illegal" bit being using FTDI branding and vendor/device IDs(this is not illegal as these are assigned by a commercial consortium). The FPGA cables are just ripoffcity to begin with, so I really could care less beyond the realistically priced ones work or not. We're talking Xilinx, et. al. charging c. $300 for a freaking USB cable that does not much more than a serial adapter here... rather than $5 for FTDI or reverse engineered workalikes.
Lastly wrt usb flash adapters, they all get warm in protracted use IME, don't recall about the notebook "built in" r/w adapters as I just don't use them very often.
DMCA ----tard: well, I suppose that I should fry my totally illegal FPGA then eh? After all I'm apparently illegally emulating in hardware all of those old consoles and computers... Just to be safe and "legal" and all... christ gbatemp's gone down the hole a bit... as to your EUCD I'd be highly surprised if it was more onerous than that abortion that DMCA is. :ROFLMAO:
[EDIT]
Also if you have various USB controller chips, e.g. Intel, etc. Try using different ports attached to different controller chips, but still try to stick with the USB2 ports for best compatibility... even IF the el cheapo reader claims USB3 it's still probably USB2 or pretty flakey USB3 which will generally work more consistently on a USB2 port... many systems have the USB3 port with a blue PCB and the USB2/1 black or some other color, but this is NOT consistent, just common.

But how did your sysNand get updated, didn't you put those false connection settings in sysNAND?
It should be impossible for that to happen right?
I don't know if this is has been asked, and I don't feel like sifting through 30+ pages to find the answer. After getting the OoT save loaded onto the retail cart and verifying that it works to load GW mode, could I go back and play OoT in either of the other two save slots without affecting the ability to load GW mode via save slot #1? If not, I don't mind throwing OoT on my red card or installing via .cia to play in GW mode. However, it would be nice to know if I can use the same OoT retail card to actually play the game as well as an exploit entrypoint.
cutterjohn yes i was using usb3.0 but now i'm using my Akasa internal card reader,hopefully once the CIA installation is complete in few hours time everything should work fine,i have strong feeling it was the cheap usb card reader causing all the black screens,also the Akasa is much smoother even the process bar in emuNANDTool_1.0.3 tool is not stuttering like it was when copying or writing on the cheap usb card reader,i just hope i didn't mess up the sys nand when i was trying to update emunand via cia. hopefully not
i made sure i was always in emunand mode before updating via cia so i have no clue how if some of the cia files did install to the sys nand instead !! i don't think this is possible but who knows
Not sure if someone else already answered, but CIAs from regions besides your own can cause Parental issues even if they normally would not.

@HoTuan You'll need one that hasn't had its stock firmware updated in quite some time, for starters
