Okay, after following the guide I think something's wrong. All was good. My 3DS booted with my EmuNand content. I formatted the SD to delete the EmuNand partition. Now, with SD it sticks in a black screen, if I press START, Hourglass. If I press SELECT, I have Luma and if I press other button, it just boots like it was on SysNand: no theme, no content, only DSIWare. I have unlinked NANDs, if this had something to do with. What can I do? Reinstalling EmuNAND? Restore backups again?

Before formatting the SD, did you made a copy of your SD to PC? (You should)

After format, copy back the files/folders to SD and it should be good to go.

When booting, hold select to get to the options screen, and enable "show current NAND in System Settings". Then get to whatever NAND is bootable, and check the version in settings. You might have skipped a step and failed to put emunand on sysnand.

This.

Step 10:

Backup every file on your SD card to a folder on your computer, all files will be deleted in the next step

Then Step 16 after formatting:

Put your SD card in your computer, then copy all your files back into it

I made that.

It shows me Sys 9.2.0-20E. It now boots with the SD, I changed the theme while I was on Sys. But, I don't have my content

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

I made a EmuNAND backup, but I thing I made it in a different way. Its name is NAND.bin.

EDIT: It's not giving me the black screen anymore!

At the step 6 of the Move RedNAND part, have you restored the emunand backup or the sysnand backup?

Go to "SysNAND Backup/Restore", then select the "SysNAND Restore (keep a9lh)" option to restore your SysNAND from NAND_emu.bin

I have 2 backups:

NANDmin.bin (SysNAND)

NAND.bin (EmuNAND?) I restored this one. Now that I don't have the black screen, I have like 3 possible solutions. I need my games back!

Well, you're the only one who knows how you named your EmuNAND :P try restoring the other one and see if the games appear again.

So, nobody can help me? I asked in Twitter, YouTube, Reddit and here. Hope I can solve this.
The only way you can get your games and saves back is if you find an older emunand backup. If you do find one, run this to get any missing icons back. ONLY use the update buttons in that, anything else will result in a loss of some sort of data.

Well, guess I have to try. Should I update to 11.0? I dunno if all of this crap has been installed correctly.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
