It's very easy to have a public image and a private image. And you see, as soon as the other day I was called a "kid" (I didn't even do anything, I just replied to a post which said that me and other devs did things in a wrong way while it was blatantly wrong, and I just pointed that out) and I replied by briefly exposing bad things that happened privately, this group of people caused a shitstorm by insulting me here (not that I care, to be honest) and by taking over private skype groups.
Also, it's pretty funny to see that as soon as people join this private "friends" group they become haters and start acting/speaking in an aggressive way. Must be group dynamics.

If being called a "kid" annoys you, never play ESO on PS4. It's happening. Regardless of which side you pick. We've all rationalized why the people playing the other sides must be ignorant 12-year-olds. The Aldmeri Dominion -- "poor 12-year-old kid saw LotR and thinks he's playing Legolas, probably doesn't even know the Altmer are racist." for example. Same happened with WoW actually. Alliance -- "Who idolizes feudalism and crown-wearing dictators? Oh yeah, 12-year-old kids." Oh well, it's probably for the best if you don't play MMOs. Wouldn't want your releases to become like Gateway's (don't get me wrong, I love the continued support, I've just long ago accepted that SOON means 1 to 6 months)

.

Here's the thing. I don't see Rei attacking you here. If he did it on another site, attack him there. It might not even be the same Rei. I was playing Destiny one day and someone threatened to report me if I didn't leave the area. I was like "For what? I have no idea who you are, but I have just as much right to be here as anyone. If other people being present bothers you, there's offline games like 'Wolfenstein: The New Order' and 'Shadow Warrior'". It was probably a case of mistaken identity. I never use the same name twice. Sometimes I don't even use 77. Leaves it wide open for someone else, and as often as not, they will take it, being just as bad at coming up with original usernames as I am.

To all involved: I think you're all talented programmers. I think everything you all do for us is great. And I find all this pointless arguing sad. Retaliating often just makes you look like as much of an ass as your attacker. I don't claim to be a paragon of virtue. I don't always know when to stop, and I've outright lost it with people a few times. In fact, I'm feeling a bit like Dr. Dre in that song he did with Eminem called "Guilty Conscience" -- you know, where he's trying to tell other people not to be violent, "Cause he don't need to go the same route that I went." But I am trying to do better. People still take issue with this or that, but you can't win them all over.

Anyway, thanks for the new release, Rei, it's working great.

So how does one go about updating to firmware 11? I still got the error updating to the latest firmware? Do I need to downgrade the emu and and upgrade it again?

newest release should update fine. Update is up on git

This night be a bug or something but when I updated to the rei version everthing was gone when booted ReiNand and I was on 9.2

Are you using menuhax? It seems you're booting into your sysNAND, your emuNAND should be intact, but it apparently you're not booting ReiNand. Did you by any chance changed the name of any of the files?

Everything load fine in terms of menuhax. But when I launch ReiNand the splash screen appears then takes me to rei but it's empty. And no I did not change any file names

So, ReiNand boots into your 9.2 sysNAND? Do you have the .:Rei string in settings?

Yeah It does have that also when I have my sd in my computer it reads all the space is being taken up by the games that are not showing up

Rosselman · May 18, 2016

That's weird, it means it isn't detecting your emuNAND, and consequently launching sysNAND. Can you launch something like Decrypt9 and see if it detects your emuNAND?

It's saying no emunand

Oh, that's not good. Do you have a emuNAND backup? I don't know what could've caused it, but it seems like your emuNAND could be gone. Did you format the SD?

Don't think I have a emunand backup and no I did not format the sd card

Looks like due to some strange reason, the NAND cannot be read. If you have Emunand9, i suggest to check and dump the EmuNand before you try to inject an older one. Then, try to reinsert it on the system with Emunand9.

If everything else fails, then you should reinject one of your older Emunands. The games and data are still in your system, the installed games and the updated firmware will be the things just missing.

The only problem is I don't think I have a older emunand back up

Reisyukaku · May 18, 2016

emunand reading was never touched, so not sure about that. The checks for jumping to emu or sys are as follows:
if emu is not detected, or a GBA game was played (CFG_BOOTENV == 0x7) or start button was held, then jump to sys.. otherwise, jump to emu. .. so one of those conditions is failing most likely. Also not sure about you but i always had menuhax autoboot, so if that was the case, then you'd be stuck in a bootloop instead of seeing the results you are. which would make things more concerning.

Didn't you make an Emunand Backup when you first hacked Sysnand? Normally, you do one for security reasons.
Optionally, you could use your Nand.bin and inject it as an emergency backup Emunand. Thing is, if you had games installed, you'd have to "reinstall" them, with fbi, and go through the nuisance of updating the emunand again to firmware 11.

C02 · May 18, 2016

@Reisyukaku When I hold L to boot menuhax I go to my boot manager and I have 2 options ReiNand and HBM. When I choose ReiNand it brings my to emunand but my cia's and theme is not here. Then I go to settings it's .:Rei 9.2.0-20U not 11.0.When going to software management it reads 'There is no accessible software data'. Then decrypt9 reads no emunand so I don't know what going on.

The nand.bin I have is before I had emunand.

That'll do. You can inject it as your Emunand. Thing is, if you do it, you'd have to reinstall your games with FBI, and update emunand to 11.0.0.33
(And remember, if you format your SD to have an emunand partition, you need to copy everything to a pc first, as formatting everything on the SD wipes and writes the partition for it, leaving the SD empty)

But before you do it, have you checked what Rei said about the booting processes, as well as checked with emunand9 several times if you don't have emunand or at the very least, the partition?
Also, have you checked with your computer if you have a partition for emunand on your SD? If you had one since the beginning, the partition should still be there, taking away space from the SD.

That depends. People with a lot of GBA VC or DSiWare installed on SysNAND will often switch to type 1 (especially after forgetting to hold a button down one too many times and getting the boot loop). And some just don't bother to change the defaults.

Backup everything, then try formatting the card (I'd recommend doing it twice actually -- SD Formatter in Windows, then hit it with EmuNAND9). That backup sounds like it's probably from before you unlinked, so you may be in luck. Restore the card contents, then restore the nand.bin to EmuNAND, update EmuNAND, then check in Data Management. If the games are there, but greyed out with an X, just load the CIAs in SocketPunch and send them over the network using FBI 2 (which you might have to inject if it's not already on the NAND backup). It should go quickly, because you just need to reinstall the tickets if the games are there. You might also be able to restore the tickets with CIAngel (probably only if the games had proper tickets though). If they're not there, you'll just have to reinstall them all.

Hey friends,
I want to completely reset my Emunand, like a factory reset. Can I just go about it like I would on a unhacked 3DS, from the system settings? I'm on a menuhax setup, will such a reset hurt anything? My nands are unlinked if that matters.

Thank in advance.

I updated the system after compiling the latest version and didn't get any error...

Problem is I already updated to firmware 11 with reinand 4.0 it says it has error but boots up fine and says rei 11.x. But it will still try to update and error out even with reinand 4.1.
