Hacking Unlinking sysNand and emuNand - which way should I use?

[Alan Treecko]

So I want to unlink sysNand and emuNand to be like the cool kids here.
But which way should I do it? There's a rxTools guide on using TinyFormat and another video guide on using the format setting prebuilt on the 3DS.

I used TinyFormat, myself. The guide I used stated that you should use TinyFormat if you have an NNID, and use system format if you don't care.

Link to guide please, also, if you don't care about what?

It was technically under the guide I used for installing CFW on my n3DS, it can be found here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...g-10-4-emunand-coldboot-cia-installer.405589/

It states to use TinyFormat to prevent problems with your NNID not working under EmuNAND.

I don't own an N3DS. I use an O3DS. Is still any choices available?

I would think the process would be the same between the two, but I'm not sure. I'm not too sure about the o3DS, sorry. I'd wait for somebody who has experience w/ that.

After setting up emunand, I formatted sysnand to unlink them. Easy and no problems.

I formatted sysnand , there no point to ever use sysnand after you have emunand with cold boot

I'm pretty sure you're suppose to remove the internal SD card when attempting this...not sure why some members aren't making that clear.

tinyformat is the safest way to unlink nands, especially if you have an NNID on your sysnand.

 

[Alan Treecko]

Ok, So I'm using tinyformat for now on an O3DS.
Should I take out my SD Card at some point or let it take it's course?
I'm scared of it deleting my sysNand and emuNand.
I'll try when I finish backing up my SD Card.

You need to make sure you are using some sort of software to create a backup image of your SD, the emunand partition is hidden in windows and cannot be seen through explorer. I'm unsure of how other OS's.

PowerISO or WinImage?

 

[Alan Treecko]

Alright kids, I have emuNand setup. Now how to I properly execute tinyFormat?

 

[tony_2018]

Did you even look into TinyFormat before asking that question?

No, just posting as a precaution before doing anything else.
