Is it possible to set up reinand with a 10.3 emunand on n3ds without having to install rxtools first?

You could probably just use @d0k3's EmuTool9 to format the emuNAND and all that. It's over in the HB development section. After that it should just be a matter of copying the Reinand files to the proper place.

Technically its possible, Ive already successfully downgraded from 10.3 to 9.5 and then to 9.2 emunand to test it and so far it's all compatible with the new ReiNAND release. Only thing is you need to use MultiPatcher for out of region games as usual emunand backup is good mate

Just wondering... how does a 9.2 emunand not simply throw up with a 10.3 native_firm loaded? I know it would need to be backward compatible to avoid updating every firmware file, but that also means that there are no 10.3 files, already present in 9.2, that have changes that were required as a result of 10.3. Or something like that

I don't have an emunand to format though as I don't have any CFW installed. Do I have to install a different CFW (rxtools) to create the emunand first, then switch to the newest reinand to allow me to update the emunand to 10.3?

No. You need either emunand9 or the GW launcher to format your emunand. Wasn't this question JUST answered? You'd need the *HAX 2.5 starter kit as well, to launch the GW launcher though (through GW.3dsx).

I interpreted "format your emunand" as "format your existing emunand". Does emunand9 create an emunand from scratch?

Format emunand is how creating an emunand partition is called.

Yes. When you create an emunand it formats and repartitions your SD card. So you want to backup the contents first, then copy that stuff back when you're done. In emunand9, the option is "complete emunand setup", or something like that. In the GW menu, it's format emunand.

Thanks mate! I've just found the emunand9 thread and the screenshots have cleared it up as they show the options for formatting the SD card for a fresh emunand and cloning sysnand to emunand. So, it looks like the steps would he:

1. Downgrade to 9.2
2. Reinstall hax
3. Use emunand9 3dsx to create emunand partition and clone sysnand to emunand
4. Unlink nands
5. Follow the tutorial linked above to get the newest reinand running
6. Boot into emunand using reinand
7. Update emunand to 10.3

Does that look about right?

Naw mate, just backup your files to the PC (Dont use Mac cause of the extra files it creates), then Upgrade to 10.3, downgrade to 9.2 (Easiest), then boot to HBL, boot Pasta/MiniPasta install FBI/DevMenu (Boot back into Pasta to make sure the apps show up, then back to sysNand to check if FBI shows up). Backup your files again, Use EmuTool9 to format/create an emuNand, copy the stuff back and you're good to go. Use ReiNAND to boot into 9.2 to check, make sure your files show up. Then finally power off, remove MMC, format system to unlink NAND's, then you can backup your EmuNAND that has all your stuff in it and use that to Upgrade/Downgrade via sysUpdater.cia in EmuNAND.

Ignore this if you've already done it though.

Sure, but it's always easier to install a cia manager on sysnand before you format emunand (you can do this through the browserhax+ctrbootmanager+Homebrew launcher). And you'll need to setup your NNID on sysnand again before using eshop on either sysnand or emunand.

sound pretty good to me

I heard that using tinyformat to format sysnand does not unlink the nnid. That could be helpful.

Edit:

Why do I need to install the CIA manager on sysnand? Won't it just be erased when I format it? And do I set up my NNID on sysnand AND emunand? Or just on sysnand before unlinking?

it's so when you clone sysnand to emunand, it appears in emunand. formatting sysnand unlinks them but won't erase anything from emunand

...if you use something like https://github.com/javimadgit/TinyFormat to format sysnand (don't use System Settings)

Seems people missed my post. I saw that we can install FBI.CIA on EMUNAND via EMUNAND Browserhax->HBL -> NASA with the latest beta ReiNAND EMUNAND 10.3 now!

I tested and FBI isntalled via NASA on EMUNAND seems to fully function. Much easier. Also use Tiny Format to Unlink SYSNAND and EMUNAND (preferably do it on EMUNAND). That way you don't need to relink NNID

 

[urherenow]

I heard that using tinyformat to format sysnand does not unlink the nnid. That could be helpful.

I keep forgetting about that... I haven't tried it

it's so when you clone sysnand to emunand, it appears in emunand. formatting sysnand unlinks them but won't erase anything from emunand

As long as you're smart enough to remove the SD card when formatting sysnand (through system settings, anyway)

 

[DjoeN]

I formatted emunand instead od sysnand
i had an eshop error in emunand, so i ended up fromatting emunand instead of sysnand and now i can enter eshop again

The good thing about this is:
- is have everything from my sysnand still there (IronFall v1.0 / bought eshop games etc... so if ever a 10.3 solution comes out i can upgrade my sysnand and keep everything that was on it)
- i still can play Mii plaza in sysnand
- i still have my ironfall v1.0 in sysnand (you can't use it cause it needs FW 9.5+, but could come in handy later)
- All my eshop games are still on my sysnand

The downside:
- i can't play some games in sysnand cause it needs an update or nnid connection (and that needs latest FW)
- Need to install bought eshop games from scratch and also your Mii plaza in emunand

Note: Can you transffer Miiplaza save from sysnand to emunand with savedatafiller ?

 

[LooneyElsa]

People report that fbi doesn't work for them with reinand 10.3.
Does reinand 10.3 has something more than emunand 9.5?
I don't need eshop/nnid.
