Hacking emuNAND Tool - Release and Support thread

[toto621]

32GB may be over the limit for now, I don't have one so I can't test myself, just reported what happend to me.

 

[Maximilious]

It's because N3DS nand is twice bigger than 3DS nand (954 MB against 1.84 GB).

My dump is 1.2GB... Hmmmmmm

Same here.

Same here.

Some N3DS will be 1.2GB, and others will be 1.8GB. It's to be expected because of different underlying chips. The extra 0.6GB should all be 0s, so gateway was lazy with their dumping.

Great. Glad mine is the smaller of the two!

My SYSnand dump was also 1,2gb

I got a 32gb samsung evo class 10 and I still get the GW3D bug

Same. I have a Scandisk Extreme (Class 10) and still got the bug.

The problem is not that it's not showing GW, because we don't really care about that.

Just that it's risky to update when it's not written, someone said he updated and it worked fine, but personally, when I remove the Micro-SD Card in the settings, the N3DS doesn't crash, which mean I'm already on the sysnand and that it might be risky to update.

 

[gudenau]

i'm not surprised, but the '...' at the end of your post you make it seem like it should support it already, when we have had new3ds emunand support for less than 12 hours

Well, I figured that the size of the emunand was stored in the emunand. Making it so that this would work with any size of emunand.

which offset?

 

[gudenau]

which offset?

I do not know, I just thought that because of good software design. But this is GW...

oh, sorry - you mean you guess the size of the emunand would be in the emunand itself - i doubt that.
it's not about good software design or gw, emunand is supposed to simply be the nand, on the sd card
i doubt nintendo needs to store the size of the nand within the nand itself

Part of the fat spec is "reserved" sectors, I am sure that this is abusing that. Part of the header is some 'empty' space, mostly for bootloaders. I just assumed it would be in there.

I have a Sandisk Ultra SDHC 32GB (Class 10) and I don't have the GW3D bug.

Yeah, thats why you should use the standard 4gb micro SD that the console came with and transfer it for now

 

[liomajor]

which offset?

(AUS new3DS XL) My Offset in 32GB microSD is 76 00 00 00, emuNAND Size 1.979.711.488 Bytes (75 FF FF FF).

 

[Disco]

On my Sandisk Ultra CL10 32GB there is no GW3D bug

 

[liomajor]

Interesting, i'm using a original Samsung 32GB CL10 and GW3D is missing.

 

[Disco]

SanDisk FTW

 

[liomajor]

No biggie, emuNAND works, but SanDisk got the better SD Adapter (noticed that on my 3DS XL - inserting goes smoothly, samsung's not).

Already done

It's probably not only related to the SD Card. It's not a big problem anyway, you can either update without the GW3D if you are sure to be on emunand (easy to spot if you unlink them and change the theme of Emuand) or use the trick to transfer the emunand to a bigger SD Card (and also emunandtool if it's updated later).

And it's not a problem to know if you are in emunand or sysnand settings once it's updated, as Emunand will show 9.5 (without the GW3D) when Sysnand will show 9.0-9.2 (depending of the firmware version).

They'll probably fix it with the next launcher version.
