Also some questions about Emunand.

Does it behave the same way SysNand behaves? In other words, to fully shut down still have to reboot into SX menu and shut down from there? Still have to use AutoRCM (unless I want to short rails every time I boot)... etc... basically everything is the same functionality wise, except I can be on latest firmware on the emunand?

Thanks!

EDIT:

For anyone looking for a guide, the process is quite easy.

1) Wipe the SD Card and format as FAT32 (32GB or larger SD)
2) Boot into SX menu (hold Vol+ on boot)
3) Create Emunand from there (hidden partition). (Will take about an hour)
4) Once back in proper OS launch SX Menu (via photo album) it should say you are in emunand (if cant boot make sure you are on SXOS 2.8 or later)
5) Download Switch update and ChoiDujourNX (look up a guide how to update, make sure you are in Emunand when you update). Process is basically just run ChoiDujourNX and pick the Firmware folder.

Thats it.

Yes. EmuNAND/EmuMMC behave exactly the same way as SysNAND.
And yes. For SX OS you have to reboot to sx payload and shutdown from there or hold power button to ferce shutdown it. Or you can use ams with proper shutdown.
With 4.1.0, you can use caffein to reboot to cfw.
But the first point still stands. EmuNAND/EmuMMC works just like SysNAND.

Thanks. Is there a guide to making the transition?

    at all
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    like i searched all folders
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    are you using haxchi, tiramisu or aroma?
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    no, I'm asking which one of them you are using
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    there is a plugin that display them on the wii u menu, pretty sure it is enabled by default
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    so like it doesnt exist
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
    ?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    it doesn't exist, at least not for aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    ohhhhh
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    on tiramisu you can access it by opening mii maker
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:

  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
