[Dracari]

whats the benifits to Keeping Emunand under an A9LH setup, and how would i Merge the 2 so that i can keep my saves and games?

There isn't a huge benefit to emuNAND anymore other than maybe a quicker restore/faster turnaround time for messing with things. Also out of region emuNAND and GW use.

The easiest way is to make a NAND backup of your emuNAND. Then use D9 sysNAND restore option (Keep A9LH) and just flash emuNAND backup. Everything stays as it was.

There's no reason to keep the emuNAND anymore. It's a waste space you can use for more games~
Edit: I am so glad that my 12,100th post was spent shitting on emuNANDs

how would i reclaim the 1GB Used up by Emunand? other than backing up the SD and formatting it.

I'd suggest using easeus partition to melt the one gb back to your regular partition. Correct me if I'm wrong because I don't use A9hl yet

You can move your emunand to sysnand by following Section 4 and 5 from part 5 of the Plailect Wiki Guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax)

However, before you do this, you should back up any important saves you have on your SysNand using SaveDataFiler (or JK's Save Manager) and AGBSave9 for GBA injections: https://gbatemp.net/threads/pre-release-agbsave9-tool-to-extract-agb_firm-saves.410684/ (Unsure if you can back up SysNand DSi injections... sorry!)

Any partitioning software worth it's salt can merge the two partitions without much extra work.
If you have spare time and patience, just copy all the files off the SD to your PC and reformat the SD.
