Homebrew Official [Release] EmuNAND9 - Open Source EmuNAND Formatter & Manager

[Conan179]

Convert a RedNAND to a GW type EmuNAND (without wiping SD data)

how do I use this?

 

[d0k3]

how do I use this?

Dump the NAND -> reinject as GW EmuNAND (in a submenu).

 

[Conan179]

you mean: "Clone file to Emunand"?

 

[d0k3]

you mean: "Clone file to Emunand"?

Yup.

 

[Conan179]

hmm, i have a problem, i use the option now 7-8 times, gateway dosnt boot. (blackscreen after the gw-dragon) enumand9 say "Emunand: SD not ready"

Whein i use "Complete Emunand Setup" his say:
Total SD card size 30528MB
Storage: 19164MB free / 28476MB total
Already contain a Rednand
Press A to format, B to cancel

You might have to backup all your stuff (EmuNAND, too) if you haven't yet. Otherwise just continue.

 

[Conan179]

yes, im sorry, i mean, i have a gateway emunand file, i wont restore this, becouse, its wrote this sai a rednand, i dont have any make a rednand

Everyone, we have a new release, the 'full RedNAND support' release. This is new:

• Added 'Complete RedNAND Setup' feature
• Added options to convert your EmuNAND <-> RedNAND and vice versa
• Improved SD card and SD card fault handling
• Various smaller and bigger improvements

Read more about the RedNAND / GW EmuNAND difference here. RedNANDs are, by now, only supported by CakesFW and AuReiNAND, and technically a superior alternative to GW type EmuNANDs. If you do a complete setup, you can save a lot of space at least for N3DS consoles if you choose RedNAND over the standard option.

Can you convert an existing emunand to rednand and save space or only by doing the complete setup?

To save space you have to start from scratch.

@Shadowtrance
An update to the UI version soon hopefully?

 

[Chuu]

To save space you have to start from scratch.

To what extent do we have to start from scratch? Could we just convert our emunand to rednand, backup rednand + SD card, fully format our sd card, set up rednand from scratch, and restore rednand?

You have to...

• Backup your current EmuNAND and SD card contents...
• Either 'Complete RedNAND Setup' or 'Format SD... For EmuNAND (min size)
• Restore your EmuNAND and copy back your SD contents

So, not all that much!

Edit: And, nope, no need to do the conversion then. A GW EmuNAND backup has the exact same format as a RedNAND EmuNAND backup. EmuNAND9 handles that for you.

Anyone know why this crashes and goes back to Homebrew launcher when I start the .3dsx version from my A9LH9 n3ds' 10.7 emunand Homebrew Launcher .cia? Tried booting it through sysNAND but didn't even start.

If anyone know what I've done wrong or why this is, it'd be great, thanks.

EDIT. The launcher.bin I have is from decrypt9, does that matter?

EDIT2: I just started the arm9loaderhax version instead and it seems to work fine.

EDIT3: Doesn't work on emunand since it's not 9.2 I guess, but still didn't boot on sysNAND. I'm a bit clueless why but I guess it doesn't matter since I just used the arm9loader version.

It'll only boot from a 9.0-9.2 firmware, or from A9LH directly, but not from a >=9.6 firmware.

I can't restore my EmuNAND, it says that the dump is not valid... However it has the same size than my older EmuNAND backups so I think it is valid... Is it a problem with the EmuNAND check feature of EmuNAND9Tool ?

Decrypt9 says the file is too small, but it's not.

EDIT : Was able to restore the dump as regular EmuNAND using MultiEmuNAND Tool, so the dump is definitely valid.

I got the similar issue. (It told me the NAND file is not valid)
So I just set up my regular EmuNAND by EmuNAND9.
Then I connverted the regular EmuNAND to RedNAND by EmuNAND9 too.

Conversion should work, but it takes the same size than GW EmuNAND...
It's just that the EmuNAND restoration feature is obviously broken, so I though I should report it.

The size of my regular EmuNAND partition is 1.21GB.

It's strange that even I did it by the following tips, the size of EmuNAND partitaion is still 1.21GB.
Format SD... For EmuNAND (min size)

Mine is 1.8GB (new3DS user here). If you have an o3DS, I think that's normal.
