Yeah, just delete it. It'll only take up space.

Oh my god, i just noticed that ill probably have to redo the whole thing - im getting a new sd card tomorrow, so the emuNAND thingy right now probably is for a waste as i'll have to do it again, with the new card, right? I only have a 4gb one right now, so that's why.

You would need to format the new card for EmuNAND, dump the old card's EmuNAND partition, inject it into the new one's, copy all your files from you old SD onto the new one. So basically yes!

Wait, so what will I have to do?

Ill copy all the stuff from the old card. Do I have to run EmuNAND9 then again?
Or what do you mean by dumping the old card's EmuNAND partition? Just copy/paste to the new card? :'D

Edited my previous post with all steps.
Yes you can wait till you get a new SD card then perform those steps on that new SD card (it goes without saying that all contents of current SD card should go in new SD card).

No, you can just make an image of your sd card and then restore it to your new sd card. You would just have to expand the partition with a partition manager after that.

You don't have to do the process again if you create an emuNAND in the current SD card.

just a heads up, make sure you get a SDHC card or a SDXC WITH SDHC compatibility... SDXC only most likely won't work.. hopefully saves you a potential headache

edit: you can also use this guide for a (easy?) transfer, sets your new sd card up just like your old one https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-transfer-emunand-to-another-sd-card-working-on-new3ds.383684/

So ill follow these steps when I get my new SD Card, but there are some steps missing in the end, right? Should, or rather, may, I hit you up when I'm ready, then?

@qi_synergist Thanks but i already ordered an SDXC one, hopefully itll work I read that formatting it to fat32 should do the job, though. I got a Qumox 128gb one, if that rings a bell



EDIT:
okay thank you, then id rather complete the EmuNAND Thingy right now

i know for me personally my samsung 64gig sdxc didn't work, luckily i had another w/ sdhc compatibility, hopefully yours does!

Nothing is missing.
The thing which I said that if the last option "Show current NAND in System Settings" is not there in AuReiNand menu (when you hold SELECT key while powering on), it is because it may have older version of AuReiNand arm9loaderhax.bin
As the option says, it helps to let you know in which NAND you are in when you go to System Settings app from Home menu. It will help you to know whether it is booting into EmuNAND after you perform the steps.

PS. Also, don't freak out if your console refuse to boot without SD card. That is normal for A9LH as it looks for arm9loaderhax.bin on SD card when you power on.

@Just3DS Im done with the steps you listed, the last option was there aswell I pressed start, but my screens turned black while the led is still blue

Force power off console. Put console SD card in computer. Go in "Nintendo 3DS" folder. There you will see a folder with long text.
Create a new folder in "Nintendo 3DS" and move that folder into the new folder.
Put the SD card back in console and power on to see if it boots.

EDIT:
All of them have been edited about half an hour ago

Then move all of them to the new folder (it should be using only one of them anyway, the others are just leftovers from format done by seller).

(when you power on console and it boots into home menu it will create a folder in Nintendo 3DS, that one folder name will be same as one of the ones in screenshot you posted)

Install a game, you'll see which folder increased in size.

It'still not booting up :/ Does it need to have a specific name?

Hold SELECT key when powering on. Which options are checked?

Hold SELECT key when powering on. Which options are checked?

( ) Updated SysNAND mode
(x)Use pre-patched FIRMs
(x)Force A9LH detection
( )Use 9.0 FIRM as default
( )Use second EmuNAND as default
(x)SHow current NAND in System Settings

Please don't tell me it looks like this, I was going to set up arm9lh.
