Just unwrap them :)














Unlink your NANDS (Format Sysnand or emunand)

or

Install them again in devmode with FBI (it will say it's already installed, just abort the installation), now boot into sysnand and unwrap them, then boot into emunand now they will stay unwrapped (You have to do this everytime again when you install a new cia.)

or

use autoboot into CakesCFW emunand mode with menuhax, then you don't have to do any of the above :) (Could be that rxTools also keeps them unwrapped this way)

What happens exactly when I format my sysnand? Are all my file gone then on my Micro SD Card?

Menuhax requires unlinked NANDs though otherwise it will crash emuNAND.

No because you're supposed to format sysnand while not having the mSD card inside the console. So only the system NAND's registers will be erased, or in other words, it will forget the location of the system folder in your mSD card and so next time it will create a new folder to store sysnand files. That's how sysnand and emunand become unlinked (not sharing the same system folders).

Well my emunands are linked on both systems and i use menuhax, no crashes!
Both systems have Cakes and rxTools as CFW (choice through ctrbootmanager)
1. Boot menuhax to boot into ctrbootmanager and there i can choose cakes / rxtools / hbl (Mashers) / hbl / reboot / shutdown )

You haven't updated your emuNAND, have you?
When emuNAND version is different from sysNAND version menuhax will cause it to crash because of the payload being for the wrong version. At least that was my experience.

Sysnand 9.2 on both systems and i recently (when it came out) upgraded emunand to 10.3, all working perfect

If after unwrapping they turn up as black squares, take a look at this thread here https://gbatemp.net/threads/help-please-black-squares-in-emunand.403192/
No, thats not the problem, the files runs fine.

Okay, I'll try this out. Hope my CIAs wont dissapear...

My n3DS is on 9.2 Sysnand and Emunand 9.2 ("10.3" with Nver, Cver and Tiger)

access to the installed cia will depend on if you installed it to sysnand or emunand

I didn't think the payload being for the wrong version mattered if menuhax wasn't actually being run, did it?
Then that would only be a problem if you are on autoboot menuhax and you aren't interrupting menuhax as emunand load.
For those who boot menuhax by holding a certain button down, once in emunand it shouldn't load menuhax.
(Not sure what happens if you are on emunand 10.2 or 10.3 since they fixed menuhax as a whole, and menuhax theme body_LZ.bin are super big so i dunno if it would cause problems, trying to load a theme with 1.3MB body_LZ.bin when on 10.2/10.3)

Menuhax does run though. How do you think it detects if a button is being pressed? I suppose it doesn't actually load the *hax payload if no buttons are being pressed, but the exploit still runs.
All I know is Gateway Mode wouldn't boot up at all with menuhax installed (the "press L" version of it) and I thought it might just be bad luck since the success rate of booting GW mode isn't 100%, but as soon as I changed theme to remove menuhax GW mode started working again.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
