I'm getting confused. Why would you want to decrypt and extract into cia form?
Or is that really just developer usage and if I just download from that iso site, I shouldn't worry about Xorpads?

Uh, when I mean decrypt and extract the game, I mean ripping out the actual game files and stuff. Then you'd need Xorpads to rebuild your game into a playable CIA.

So again, Braindump and HANS?
Main difference is one is where you make an actual playable cia and the other is something you run at the same time/Romhack to say.
But overall function is similar?

If I backup EmuNAND , does that mean it would back all Apps and CIA Games that are installed as well?

If it doesn't how do u backup the Apps/Games?

Once 10.4 comes out you can't access the e-shop to redownload those apps...e.g. youtube?
So how can we backup those apps?

So if we restore that emnuNand, do we need to reinstall all the apps and cia Games download?

Will the EmuNand backup always be the size of the hidden partition ie. about 1.84gb?

===
Does ReiNand need/support slot0x25KeyX.bin to play the latest games?

===

How does reinand/rxtools differ to EmuNand?
How does it work in the booting process?
Is reinand = bios and Emunand = Operating system?


If my EmuNand is on 10.3, it means rxtools will no longer work?
Right now I only got reinand.

Yeah, Xorpads is basically Braindump and HANS combined, for cfw (Sorry for being confusing, I don't use Braindump and HANS as I prefer things in CIA format).

With Xorpads you can rebuild romhacks into an actual playable CIA format, while HANS only uses RomFS (basically a compiled version of the romhack).
That's the only use for Xorpads, to rebuild games in CIA format (there are other uses, but they're practically outdated with the stuff we have now).

It actually installed into the Nintendo 3ds folder, in the emunand folder itself. However, it can only be used if the key (the number of the emunand folder) matches with your Nand, emunand in this, which is the OS of the 3ds.

The Nand, or Emunand in this case is the OS of the 3ds.

If you don't do anything to the 3ds folder, then if you restore the correct nand, you don't need to reinstall.

And yes, that size is right.

Reinand has it built in so it already has it

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Thanks thedude28. Look like I'll update to reinand when ntr support comes out.
Is there a way of extracting a save file from my original pokemon OR and put it into my CIA version?
Use either svdt, or the official nintendo physical to digital app.
You could try SaveDataFiler too.

Hi!

I'm sorry to ask this question but with so many options I'm lost :(

I have a original 3ds on 4.5, I have both cubic ninja and Zelde OoT. Now what is my best choice for running .cia's/cfw ? And something that supports auto boot into the hacked cfw?

I hope someone can pointt me to the right direction :)

Hey...
so I followed instructions for installing rxTools on my 3DS, and along the way, there was some big screw up.
I suspect that the SD card ran out of memory (even tho I had 2GB freed up) when the NAND was dumping and it became incomplete, which messed everything up.
To unlink the two NANDs, I obviously had to format sysNAND, but I quickly found out after doing so that my emuNAND was blank as well.
So, that said, because I'm kind of panicking right now, is there any possible way I can get back all of my old data, or am I just going to have to face the facts and use a blank 3DS?

Svdt is homebrew

How did you dump your nand?
For me, I had to restore my nand that I backed up to the emunand after unlinking.

Also not there a difference between dumping nand, backing it up to your computer, and restoring it. Dump just makes a copy, but doesn't actually do anything

Another question, I heard rxtools and reinand have screenshot ability. How to use/set it up? Or just use ntr for screenshot?

What is the difference between reinand and emunand?

Please explain using PC as example...

e.g BIOS and OS
Actually, I would link emunand more to bios, or the data the country of the 3ds runs on, and cfw like reinand are the OS
My mistake with the confusion

That an anti save restore problem that games like pokemon/smash use to prevent the.
What save system are you using?
SVDT has something called anti anti save restore to block that.
Save manager doest
Not sure about SaveDataFiler

That problem is only for digital games and not physical games

i have 2 backups - Sava Data Filer and Save Data Manager - Both are not working
