I'm running out of space on my SD card and decided using emuMMC is just a waste of space. I think I've played online like once and never use my sysnand. Right now I don't see the point in using it. I want to migrate my emunand to the sysnand but can't figure out how. I read https://gbatemp.net/threads/restore-emummc-into-sysnand.600295/ which lists 2 methods. Someone said to rename the backup files to sys instead of emu, but I didn't see anything in the hekete backup files named sys anything. I'm also trying emutool but I don't see a way to output it as a hekete backup.

Please don't tell me I am going to get banned, I know how to avoid bans.

note: make another backup of your Sysnand just in case. It will also give you your backup directory structure and Nand ID

All safe and backed up? Onward!

To be clear I’m not sure about the sys comment either. Here’s a rundown of how to restore. https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/extras/nandrestore/

End of day you’re just reversing a Sysnand to Emunand copy…straight forward.

e: if you want to mount either nand via UMS in Hekate you can then use NXNandManger to do the restore.

Thanks, I just didn't realize I needed to move the backup into the restore folder. All I had to do was that, and move the emu nintendo folder and it works perfectly.
