And humm, unless I’m not awared , havent seen him for a while
So true.Actually people here didn't really like Blawar too much.
Yeap, do not to forget to copy the SDMC:/nintendo folder to SDMC:/emuMMC/HPE0/nintendoI created a file-based emunand with the tool and what I see on the emummc.ini file is this:
[emummc]
enabled=1
sector=0x0
path=emuMMC/HPE0
id=0x0000
nintendo_path=emuMMC/HPE0/Nintendo
Did I do it correctly?
If you used the Tool to convert a RAW partition to file based, then you must move the old nintendo folder, could be on SDMC:/emuMMC/XX##/nintendo folder to SDMC:/emuMMC/HPE0/Nintendo.I can see 2 Nintendo folders on my SD card. Which one should I copy?
On which partition?If you used the Tool to convert a RAW partition to file based, then you must move the old nintendo folder, could be on SDMC:/emuMMC/XX##/nintendo folder to SDMC:/emuMMC/HPE0/Nintendo.
But if you did make a sysNAND backup and then converted that sysNAND backup to emuNAND then you should copy the SDMC:/nintendo folder to SDMC:/emuMMC/HPE0/Nintendo.
Which one folders do you have on your SD Card?

[/QUOTENo,I will not bother with sysnand for the time beingOn which partition?
SysNAND have SDMC:/nintendo
SDMC:/emuMMC/emummc.ini
SMDC:/emuMMC/XX##/eMMC
SMDC:/emuMMC/XX##/Nintendo
SDMC:/emuMMC/emummc.ini
should point to that path.My emunand is partition based my friend.Also ok,I will copy the Nintendo folder if I go with the tool,but this tutorial lacks and I lost quite some time to find out what should be done especially with the partitions and how to make them.I decided to go with the backup and restore option in Hekate insteadHekate, Atmósphere and HOS will use only the first one for data, any other partition will be ignored.
Any NAND have a partner "nintendo" folder.
SysNAND have SDMC:/nintendo
EmuNAND have the one configured on the fileSDMC:/emuMMC/emummc.ini
normally if you have several file based EmuNAND, each emuNAND is stored on a folder like
SMDC:/emuMMC/XX##/eMMC
Then normally the partner nintendo folder will be
SMDC:/emuMMC/XX##/Nintendo
And then theSDMC:/emuMMC/emummc.ini
should point to that path.
Idk if it's already been mentioned before but, for the atmosphere guide at the VERY last step, I believe the proper step is to go to Migrate emuMMC, not Change emuMMC.EmuTool
Move, Copy, Convert, Backup and Restore your SXOS and Atmosphere Emunand/emuMMC.

(Emunand or emuMMC are the same concept, below will be referred to simply as Emu)
Italian language guide here
For support in Italian or a little bit of English you can reach me on Telegram group http://t.me/gamesandconsoleschat
Warning!
Antivirus program can block and delete EmuTools.
EmuTool uses these functions of Windows Kernel32: CreateFile, CloseHandle, DeviceIoControl, SetFilePointer, ReadFile, GetFileSize, WriteFile, FlushFileBuffer, LockFile, UnlockFile
Check source code in second post if you need.
1. What is it for?
- Move the Hidden partition Emu (Atmosphere\SXOS) on a new (bigger?) SD
- For SXOS it allows to switch from Emu on partition mode to Emu on file and vice versa, so you can have two Emunand on the same SD card.
- Change your Emu format from Atmosphere to SX OS and viceversa and from Hidden partition Emu to Emu on file
- Backup and restore of every type of Emu.
- Create a new Emu (for experiments?) starting from you current Hekate/SXOS backup or from your current Emu
- Split an Hekate backup in multiple files ready for fat32 partitions
- Create the relevant configuration files to boot the Emu (emummc.ini, raw_based, file_based and folder structure)
The following are simple steps posted by users in this thread

- Create the relevant configuration files to boot the Emu (emummc.ini, raw_based, file_based and folder structure)
2. Using the Tool
To access the SD partitions run EmuTool.exe with administrator rights, it should already request it, if not please do a right click and choos Run as Administrator...
To start, double click on the EmuTool.exe file and confirm the administrative rights if necessary
EmuTool requires that you select a source (Source), ie where to read the Emu, and a destination (Target), ie where to write the copy of the Emu.
Both Source and Target support Partition and Files.
When Source and Destination are set press the Start button to start copying.
(I apologize for the UI quality. This was a tool created just for me and I wanted to keep it lightweight, free of dependencies, no installation and easily usable, as I think a tool so limited and specific should be)
3. How to Select SD card and File
After selecting the type of Emu you want as a Source or Target, click on the "white" box with the words "Click to select SD Card" in the frame relating to the Emu type selection.
A navigation window will appear depending on the Emu type selected
In case of Partition type, the following window will appearSelecting the drive containing the SD shows a list of the partitions present on the SD card.
The Sector field located at the bottom right is important.
The first value is read by emummc.ini if it is correct, check the emummc.ini file in the emummc folder of the SD card if this value is incorrect. If you are using Kosmos simply select the Emu from the emuMMC menu.
If you select a partition from the list, then the initial sector of the partition, added to the 16Mbyte offset, will be shown in the Sector field.
No partition selection for SXOS as it is fixed to 0x2 on the first patition.
If something is wrong then you can correct the value, in hex (with notation 0x as in 0x02AC2300) or in decimal (for example the value read from Minitool Partition Wizard)
Confirmed with Ok the main screen displays the data related to the Emu to read
If you choose The File Type Emu the following window will appear
Select the destination folder and the path will be shown on the main screen in the white box
When everything is set as desired press Start.
4. Enabling / disabling Emunand SXOS on partition (allows to start emunand on file)
Select Source SXOS hidden partition and click the white box to select the SD card drive. When SD is selected two new buttons will appear in the main window5. Change SD for those who have Emu on partition
WARNING!!!
No check is made on the actual existence of Emunand, so you can enable emu on partition even if this partition does not exist.
The state of the buttons indicates the current status of Emunand on partition.
Click on "Enable Partition Emu" to enable reading the Emunand from the hidden partition.
Click on "Disable Partition Emu" to disable it. In this case the File Emunand will be loaded if there is a valid SXOS File Emunand on SD in the sxos\Emunand folder.
You can now prepare a SXOS Emunand file.
Select the SXOS File type as Target, select the SD root as the path and press Start to create a copy of your Emunand partition in Emunand file, without the need to use hard disk and without having to reload the cfw files on the SD.
EmuTool Create the sxos/Emunand folder starting from the point you choose as the destination folder. Inside the Emunand foledr you will find the Emunand files.
To bring the Emu to the new SD there are two possibilities:6. Convert partition Emu in Emu on File
1 - Copy the Emu to file and use it in File mode (see section 6)
2 - Create a special partition of at least 30GByte on the new SD and transfer the Emu on it, however, requires the passage at point 1 (first go to section 6 and then to section 7)
Select as Source the type of partiton Emu, Atmosphere or SXOS, you want to read/copy and then select the SD card by clicking on the white box.7. Transfer of the Emu to partition
Select as Target the type of Emu on file you want to get and click on the white box to select a destination path.
The Emu-related folders will be created, ready to be copied to the SD root. In the case of the Atmosphere type, the emummc.ini and file_based files are also created.
For SXOS the sxos folder is created and within it the Emunand folder is created. For Atmosphere the emuMMC folder is created, the emummc.ini file compiled and the HPE0 folder which will contain the eMMC folder with the Emu files and the file_based file needed by Kosmos\Hekate\Nyx.
Press Start to begin.
Select as Source the Emu File type and select the folder that contains the Emu files, not the root folder (ie choose sxos\Emunand or emummc\HE0\eMMC folders).
Select as Target the type of partition Emu that you want to restore, in case of Atmosphere type you will also have to indicate the initial sector of the partition you created to host the Emu. Please check the other tutorial on how to create a suitable partition for emuMMC (you can use the free minitool partition software).
Press the Start button to start copying.
6. Conclusion
For any other operation you can think of, the way to select the SD reader and browse through the folders does not change, so I guess I shouldn't bother you with unnecessary chatter ;-)
I do not offer any guarantee for the use of this software. I am a very bad programmer, so if you use EmuTool it will be at your own risk.
If using this software the processor should start like a rocket and cut your head off (Hey They killed kenny! ... You Bastard!), I'm not responsible.
With this software you can do whatever you want (copy, distribute, decompile, write the user TheyKilledKenny is idiot, etc.), but NOT SELL in any ways. If you recover even a single penny with this software you must immediately donate to charity, otherwise you are a thief.
Thanks to the user @GraFfiX420 for pointing me in the right direction with his tutorial

Which guide?Idk if it's already been mentioned before but, for the atmosphere guide at the VERY last step, I believe the proper step is to go to Migrate emuMMC, not Change emuMMC.
The "Steps for Atmosphere" one by xalassa, all the way at the very end.Which guide?
I can not give my oppinion on a guide I don't know and really do not know what are you trying to do.The "Steps for Atmosphere" one by xalassa, all the way at the very end.
"After the process is done you can move the backup you made from the visible part of the other micro sd to the visible part of the new micro sd, just copy and paste it. Boot on hekate go on emummc, change emummc and click on fix raw."
It's just the change emuMMC part, should be Migrate emuMMC instead.
May be you are experiencing a know bug when there is «big» disks on your pc, please try this version and let us to know how works for you.HI!
I have a question:
I tried to use the tool EmuTool (v0.2.9), selected 'Atmosphere hidden Partition' but the only drive it sees in source is my OS SSD, so can't select my old mSD card at all. They (both old and new mSD cards) show up just fine in my computer and Computer Management.
Is there something I'm missing?
I'm just trying to upgrade from 400GB to a 1.5TB mSD card.
Thanks in advance!
In fact, yes It IS a known bugMay be you are experiencing a know bug when there is «big» disks on your pc, please try this version and let us to know how works for you.
