Somehow i've got a new switch which is BANNED, and i want to move my current switch's emunand data to banned switch's sysnand so that i can use whole microSD card as a storage.

I've found a way that MIGHT work but i'm not really sure, and i don't want my new switch to be bricked.

So before carrying it out i want to make sure if this is the right way.

This is the way i found out : there's Hekate backup&restore tool, and i made a backup for emunand area, both [SD eMMC BOOT0&BOOT1], [SD eMMC RAW GPP] with [SD emuMMC RAW Partition] button ON, put the files in the restore folder.

After that in the restore section, i will restore the files with [SD emuMMC RAW Partition] OFF, so that the partition area can be restored on sysnand.

Will I be able to migrate emunand data to sysnand with this?

Technically that should be possible but 1 mistake and you have a lot more to worry about.
Dumping your savegames with Checkpoint and reinstalling all your games will lower the chances of bricking your Switch.

Did anyone tried this? I like to do it on the same switch (not 2 different devices - emummc was created from the same device).
I don't want to re-install everything new.

    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
