U1, I haven't had any problems until late last year. Emunand just started tanking all of a sudden and games wouldn't load when clicked, stuck at black screens, etc.

Backing up and restoring time has to do with your SD card class, U3 is faster than U1, take 12 minutes for me to make a rawnand backup here with an u3 card.
is very little what a U3 class SD can improve on switch, the hardware can manage only U1, the only improvement you get is for backrup/restore using a external reader but risking to damage the switch's reader, so no need to overpay.
Hello, so I used emutools to move over to a new bigger sd card to my pc since I can't connect both old and new sd card to the same pc. I used the Atmosphere hidden partition option. I am now ready to transfer the hidden partition from my pc to the new SD card, but I'm having trouble understanding how to do it.
- In the source section, should I select the path as emummc folder in the root? or emmc folder contained in root/emummc/HPE0?
- There was a warning when the first migration to the pc was made "remember to copy emummc\RAW1\Nintendo folder from SD card to PC\emummc\HPE0\Nintendo, Should I be doing this before or after I start the new migration to the new SD card?
- In emutools, should the target be the entire SD card or the hidden 30gb partition?
You need to create the new partition on the new SD, you can do it using Hekate, or any guide on the net.
or if you want to use a file base emuMMC instead of a hidden partition (now the file based is equal speed than hidden partition) you can just copy your backup to the SD Card.

I already went through the entire process of using hidden partition. The formatting of the sd card with the parition is complete, now i need to migrate it over to the SD card but I dont know how. I just need to know the source and the target like I asked in the post before. Thanks for trying but it didn't really answer any of my questions...
So I was able to copy it over to the SD card but I don't know what to do during this step because I don't have this option "Boot on hekate go on emummc, change emummc and click on fix raw." That option is grayed out. When I try to boot using fusee I get "[nxboot]failed to mount emummc from sd card partition" error. There was a pop up when I fnished the transfer using emutools and it said "rememer to copy ninty folder in sd card in F\:emuMMC\RAW9\Ninty but that's the partitioned drive and windows asks to format to access.
It's easy. Source is Atmosphère file (select your folder backup) and destination Atmosphère hidden partition
Yeah so I finally did the migration but in hekate i dont have the option to chose SD RAW 1 or fix raw. I tried to boot up without selecting those 2 options and got this error "[nxboot]failed to mount emummc from sd card partition". I reformatted the SD and just tried dragging everything over from the old sd card but I still can't get it to work. I am at wits end and I don't understand why I can't clone my card.
It seems you're not creating the correct partition types.
The Ninty folder should be copied on the fat32 (or exfat) partition, not on the hidden one. If Windows ask to format then click cancel and proceed to the visible partition. If you don't have the emummc folder in the visible partition then there is something wrong. The hidden partition should not have a drive letter assigned.
Try reformatting the new SD and then use TegraExplorer -> SD Format -> Format for EmuMMC setup and then use Emutool to restore your emu partition on it.
Or start creating a new emunand using hekate emuMMC menu (you can stop the process as soon as it start with boot0 or boot1 if possible, at that point the partition is already created) and then use Emutool to restore your emu partition on the newly created partition.
Be sure you select the 30 Gb partition, leave all the files as Emutool creates them on the new SD and check if it works.
(pls remember to turn off wifi connection on sys before you start any kind of test and be really sure not install anything on sys, double check please).
Let us know.
Ciao!
I cant get it the work on step 7. I have the paid version I have logical option apart but when I delete the 30gb partition it stays the same
TegraExplorer does assign a drive letter, when creating an hidden partition (located at the end of the sd, and about roughly 29,2 go). And it works.
On my sd actually doing some tests :
First hidden partition for Sxos so obviously starting at 0x02 unallocated , 8go (shrinked emunand), on 11.0.1, second partition Fat32 with all the “stuff “, third partition (hidden for atmosphere, created by tegraExplorer), 29,2 go with a drive letter, EmuMMC on 12.0.1 flashed to this partition, and Atmosphere works flawlessly.
My sysnand still on 4.0.1
What I did is :
Assuming users are Sxos based (hidden or sd files), emunand created from Sxos CFW Menu, on sd card (I f the emunand was created on sysnand, you need to move it first to sd using the Sxos menu / emunand).
Hekate is strongly recommended to avoid too much swapping of the sd.
If the user has no raw backup of the emunand (either sysnand or sd files based) run a backup from Hekate (will be either full raw or files based depending on the format of the sd - exfat or Fat32 -).
I f the emunand is already on hidden partition, no need (use NxNandManager instead).
Run Hekate, tools, sd.
Connect the switch to PC to access the sd card via usb.
Create a specific folder on the desktop (NxNandManager manager and emutool are not very comfortable with some external drives or even other than where the apps are installed).
Run NxNandManager (Backup the hidden partition if it exists) in your specific folder.
Run emutool to convert Sxos emunand hidden partition into atmosphere sd files (saving path specific folder).
From there, if you want to shrink, do it either from your hidden partition backup
or the ones from Hekate (will wipe all saves so backups needed).
Create new emunand hidden partition with NxNandManager with the shrinked or not emunand backup ( will wipe the card so backup of the sd obviously needed. You can do it via Hekate if not done before).
To do this, the sd must be on the pc .
Use mini partition wizard to resize the Fat32 partition created by NxNandManager after the hidden partition to leave 29,2 go at the end of the sd.
Use emutool to create an hidden partition EmuMMC for atmosphere, using the sd files backup to convert on hidden.
Reinstall Hekate on the sd.
Launch Hekate, migrate the emunand to create proper ini with the right hex value of starting blocks of the atmosphere hidden partition).
And that’s it, the rest is “classic “, reinstalling games (faster for big sd than passing a backup), saves and everything else.

If you use NXNandManager you don't need to use Emutool.
There is no need for a conversion, Emutool does nothing special, it create files of correct size and name for what a cfw is expecting, but the emu is always a raw copy of the SysNand, Atmosphere is able to load sxos emu files if you rename them correctly, and is able to load sxos partition emu if you configure emummc.ini correctly. No other transformation is needed.
Are you sure you are seeing a partition and not free space?
I'm not a fan of emu partition at the beginning of SD, but it is the same as sxos, hekate normally puts the 30GB partition at the end.
If you want a quick way to do this you can use sxos or hekate to prepare the sd for the emu, they both have options to partition and create emu.
On sxos you can start creating the emu on the partition and stop it when it starts copying boot0 or boot1. This creates the emu partition at the start of the SD card.
On Hekate go to the tool and choose partition, slide the red slider to the middle (you read 29 Gb Full) and start partitioning. This will create the partition at the end of the SD card.
you can also use TegraExplorer as a payload to prepare the SD for the emu.
Ciao!
What do you do when Emutool doesn't see your SD card? It will only see drive C: if I select "Show All Drives" (even though I have more hard drives than just C: ). It shows nothing otherwise and I can't select it.
They only make 1TB SD's. If your talking about my computer's HDD it's 2TB.
I'm using this.
https://github.com/TheyKilledKenny/Emutool
try this version: https://github.com/TheyKilledKenny/Emutool/releases/download/v0.2.9/EmuTool_v0.2.9.zip
it's modded to support big disk what can avoid list all existing disks.
