Hacking How to format emunand/nand and keep installed titles

[MAXLEMPIRA]

okay; i have;
Emunand1 card: titles installed
Emunand2 card: different titles installed
both emunand 1 & 2 have the same Nintendo 3ds ID folder but have different titles installed and consequently different data within data management.

I want to make Emunand1 my sysnand and still be able to use emunand2 without gift bug.

You say to format Emunand1/Sysnand which will create a new ID folder, how do I restore my previously installed title from emunand1 to sysnand under the new id folder?

Oh¡ keeping your installed games on your sysNAND¿ let me think...

Hmmn... Apparently it's not possible like that... To get those games recognized by a NAND, you need the movable.seed, wich will "link" your NANDs and show the unwrapped bug, and to show the games on N3DS Folder you need the ticket.db with the tickets of those games... And another folder called "dbs" contained on N3DS Folder too... So, maybe you can try to extract seed.bin from emuNAND, and the 3 Folders under your second randomnumber Folder, then format emuNAND, het to home menu and inject ticket.db, then copy those 3 folders to the same place on your new N3DS folder... I don' t think it will work, but you can try, and I hope that you understand this...

It is not possible to format and keep your games. IIRC each time you format it generates a new key which it encrypts the games with. Once you format the new key won't work with your old files.

That being said, you can format EmuNAND to unlink you know.

Thanks. I didn't think it was possible either but ive been thinking about it for a while now and i wanted to ask the gbatemp guru before I decide to give up on the idea of an updated sysnand.

The only other better solution would have been If I could have merged the two emunands into 1

guess emunand is not obsolete after all.
