Hacking ReiNand mod for a second emuNAND on SD

[wrongmlg]

Is the nand partition on the sd supposed to be 4gb? MultiNAND tool created a 4gb partition.

It seems that GateWay-style emunands reserve a 2GB slot on the SD card. The space from the end of the nand to the end of the slot, is simply ignored. That's why 3DS Multinand creator, trying to respect the original format, i gues... adds another 2GB slot at the end of the first, with the same structure.

EDITED: @Supster131 i didn't remember this only happends on n3ds emunands!

Is it possible that is the reason it corrupted(only have 2gb partition)?

If you are supossed to have 2 emunands (new 3ds) and your fat partition starts at 2GB offset... yeah, something went wrong...

Ok, I am still copying all my files from pc back to sd card. So, since it is 4gb now, I should be able to get a 2nd emunand on it without it corrupting, right?

What i made to check that everything was right on SD card even before powering on 3DS, was extract both emuNANDS using 3DS MultiEmunand to temporary files (even if i had just done the opposite operation hehe), and run "diff" or "md5" with the original images and the testfiles to check that they were correctly copied to SD. Remember to select "1" and "2" on the combo for each extraction, and name the files accordingly.

EDIT: Sorry! I have just now understood what u were explaining sorry. You corrupted your fat partition when creating the second emunand. I see. And yes, as your fat partition now starts at 4GB offset now, it won't overlap!

2nd EDIT: In fact, if you only have 1 emunand, and select "2" on 3DS multiemunand, it should tell you that your fat partition overlaps and will ask for confirmation for redimension it and format of course.

To region change, I have to download all the cia packs? Or can I just download 9.2 and follow this guide?

Follow the guide I sent you, it's the only one that worked for me.

Depends on your internet speed really, I downloaded them all fairly quick.

I can't get the 8.1 updates because JPN doesn't have them on that iso site.
