Hacking [Release] rxTools - Roxas75 3DS Toolkit [fw 2.0 - 9.2]

[MrJason005]

Hi, I have a question:
I'm currently on 9.5 emunand using gateway.
I have an original copy of Smash, and I wanna download the latest patch.

So what I need to do is backup emunand -> launch rx tools -> update to 9.7 -> download the patch -> restore old emunand.
After that the game will work just fine on Classic mode, right?

I don't think so, because the update does store some data on the NAND, so by restoring your old emuNAND, it will be as if you never installed it.
I say just get the update in CIA format and install it that way.

This is why ticket.db needs to be extracted from the updated emunand, then injected into the old emunand. Nothing from a game patch gets installed in NAND, only the tickets...

Yes, you have to use rxtools, follow this :

- Backup your emunand,
- launch rxMode,
- update your emunand then reboot,
- launch rxMode again and do your updates,
- lauch rxTools and extract the title.db of your new emunand,
- restore your previous emunand,
- launch rxtools again and restore the title.db in your GW emunand,
- restart and launch in gateway mode.

I already got emuNAND installed, but it is 9.5. In order to get Rxtools Emunand, do i need to format EmuNAND, or simple get the right files on the 3DS and launch the URL, then update?

You don't have to format emuNAND, rxTools will boot 9.5 just fine.
But you should make a backup of emuNAND before updating in rxTools, because Gateway can't boot 9.7.

Yes, but with Rxtools i can launch 97 right? Also, with Rxtools, from the moment i use it, i don't use the go.gateway-3ds.com url anymore, but instead always the rxtools url?

Also, how do I backup EmuNAND? Seems like itss an hiden partition on my sd?

Always keep in mind when using rxTools

Backup your NAND (Gateway Launcher.dat or rxTools)
Backup your EmuNAND with "EmuNAND tool" if you are on Windows or "EmuNAND Tool Max" for MAC/Linux or use rxTools itself
When you have done the upgrade to 9.7 and it's working, make a backup from your fresh RX-Emunand 9.7, this way you have a backup when something goes wrong and avoids you to do the whoile update process again

You should have backups of:
- Your sysnand (4.5 or 9.2)
- Your latest Gateway working Emunand, GW3D-Emunand (9.5)
- Your freshly working emunand under rxTools, RX-Emunand (9.7)

Keep in mind to always make an emunand backup when you switch emunand version

The EmuNAND tool you mentioned only Extracts / Injects emuNAND? How would i make a backup? Extracting it, copying, and injecting it ?

Also, how do i backup SysNAND?

Also, asked it before, but once i got Rx GW 9.7, do i keep using the Rxtool url or just the normal Gw Url?

When it says "extract", it really means "reads data and makes a copy in a .bin file". It's just a fancier way of saying "Back up"

So it won't actually remove emuNAND from my SD?

Nope. Which is kind of a bummer, because I have an SD card that I no longer want EmuNAND on and I can't get the partition off

 

[Apache Thunder]

Is it possible to download an eshop game/update on Sysnand by using Eshop Firmware Spoofing and then ejecting its title.db using RXTools and then injecting in on Emunand? Apache Thunder Can you please tell me, thanks.

If they are unlinked you are wasting your time. What you should do is backup emunand, then use rxMode to update emunand to 9.7. Afterwords install your game updates (assuming you have a previous version of your updates installed), then exit and restore your emunand. If you had tickets from previous versions of the updates the new updates will still work once you return emunand back to 9.6

Just format the SD Card in your PC, there's nothing special required.

I've tried that, it only formats the 2.7GB FAT32 portion, not the EmuNAND portion (I've tried formatting that partition specifically, but Windows wont let me touch it because it's "an unknown format") :/

The next thing I'd try is the good old Panasonic SD Formatter, and if that still doesn't work, I'm absolutely sure you can boot up a small Linux distro and fix it with GParted.

Oh, I didn't even think of GParted! (I do have Ubuntu installed on my computer). I'll give that a go, that should definitely work. Thanks!

Using windows' built-in format tool doesn't work because it just recreates the partition as it saw it. You need to use a program (like GParted) to delete the partition so the whole disk is shown as unallocated then just make a new partition.

I had emuNAND running on my 4GB card and wanted to upgrade to a bigger SD....


How can I extract my Mii,Mii Plaza & Friends list from my 4GB card and inject into my 16GB SD?

I already setup the 16GB with new emuNAND with RXTools 2.4

You can just extract the emuNAND from your 4GB card and copy it onto your 16GB card.
