Misc Need to format 3ds xl for unlink nnid

[Maccapowa]

As title says, i need to format my 3ds because i need to unlink the nnid from it, if i format the 3ds i will lose the game in my sd (Some legit cia as mh4u are on it) or simply remove the sd before the format will save everything?

2 questions, as well:

- Are you formatting system memory on EmuNAND? If you are, you can't take out your SD... sorry.
- Are you on 2 SD Cards on with the same NNID? I tried formatting system on one of them, and on the other, when I connect with the NNID, it gives out an error.

You can try:

-On Sysnand-
Formatting on Sysnand should unlink the emunand and sysnand, removes the NNID also but i think your Savegames for the legit cia´s are gone

Just to be sure, backup your sysnand via Gateway. For safety backup your emunand also.
Now remove the SD-Card and format the 3DS on Sysnand.
Insert the SD-Card back and look if your savagames are there and you are unlinked, if not, restore your currently backuped sysnand via gateway to restore your saves also.

-on Emunand-
