Hacking Question about ditching EmuNand

[vexhash]

So, if emunand is "useless" now as some of you say, can i just delete emunand partition from sd card? I kept 9.2 emunand for stuff like decrypt9, but since it can be launched with a9lh, it is no longer needed?

NX may be that very thing.

Probably yes, but not this year, otherwise they will be criticized for programmed validity because each console family have 7~10 years in the market without a new and better console family, but that's offtopic xD

@Supster131 take it away as I think he is responding to on of your previous posts.

Now you sure can, now we have Decrypt9WIP, GodMode9 and EmuNAND9 for A9LH (though the last one is useless too right now xD )

I use Uncart and Decrypt9WIP through @FIX94 arm9select, but I kept my emuNAND (it's got that retro feeling don't it). It's downright nostalgic.

i may just do this tomarow ill have to make a backup of my sysnand and emunand from rxtools and copy all my sd stuff to my cpu

Do you have the github for the Uncart?

when you flash your emunand to your system nand you dont have to unwrap gifts everytime you start up do you?

it says you can overwrite the system nand making your emunand the sysnand will you still have to unwrap gifts everytime you start up

No, you don't (at least no if you are using Decryt9WIP to do the sysNAND and emuNAND backups)

wouldnt i rename emunand to nand and then use decrypt9 to restore sysnand with my emunand? and would i do that from homebrew menu or from somthing else i dont want to brick my sysnand during restore

If you are doing the swap emuNAND to sysNAND to get a updated sysNAND with A9LH, you should let the arm9loaderhax.3dsx do the NAND.bin restore

i have no idea what that is but i guess ill cross that bridge when i get to it

So... I'm sorry, but I complete lost on what are you doing xD
If you can explain to me what are you doing maybe I can help you better :3

I still have emunand to change between two region emunands.

I figured after the inital install of a9lh i would delete my emunand partition but i need my emunand because it has all my data on it so i want to know if i can make my emunand my sysnand.

Make your emuNAND.bin and keep it somewhere safe righ away, after the 2.1 downgrade and the otp.bin dump:

1. Restore your 9.2 sysNAND
2. make the arm9loaderhax.3dsx with your otp.bin (and keep several copies of the N3DS of yours everywhere you can)
3. Put your emuNAND.bin in your SD and rename it to NAND.bin
4. Open Homebrew Launcher and run arm9loaderhax.3dsx (it will make the the NAND.bin [your old and upgraded emuNAND] restore automatically)
5. And have fun having a updated sysNAND (clone of old emuNAND with all your data) with A9LH
