OP
Any ideas on how to recover the emunand partiton? I am most likely hosed but I figured I would at least attempt an FS recovery.
If you haven't put any files at all on the SD card after you wiped it then there is still hope. If you put as much as one file on it then it would have likely been written at the beginning of the filesystem and overwritten part of the emuNAND, corrupting it.Any ideas on how to recover the emunand partiton?

Since the emuNAND is encrypted no file/partition recovery software will work for it, and most likely if even a small part of it was overwritten it will no longer boot.
Either find out the size of your emuNAND partition (use a different SD card and make an emuNAND on it then check the size of the unpartitioned space at the beginning of the card), and reformat your card the exact same way with the same unpartitioned space at the beginning.
Or better yet, make an emuNAND on the second card, dump the partition table from it and insert it to the formatted card, which should lower the chances of making mistakes. Then you can resize the FAT32 partition to fit the card.
To do either of those you'll need some 3rd party tool though.
That won't recover any CIA games, save files etc. you had stored on the card though. To recover those you'll have to use recovery software like Recuva (free) or GetDataBack (not free, but I've had more success with this one, it does more in-depth scanning) You should probably do that before you mess with the card any further, make sure you back up the files to your PC and don't write them back to the MicroSD though.
