Actually, it is a NAND copy...nothing emulated there.I thought it would be also an EmuNAND as its emulating 6.3 in a 4.x Enviroment aswell as redirecting, reminds me of when sneek came out and we could do similar on wii
You should have a NAND.BIN file around 950MB in size. You didn't dump your NAND file fully, because your SD card is full. The Gateway menu also would have said "ERROR SD Full" when you were dumping it...
Image the SD card partition that stores the emuNAND?You don't understand. I want to make a backup of Gateway's EmuNAND data, which has been updated to 6.3 already. I already have a backup of my 4.1 NAND.BIN file.

You could use a linux live cd to do it fairly easily.That's the plan!

Find the relevant partition:
fdisk -l
Image:
dd if=/dev/*DISK PARTITION*/ of=nand.bin
dd can copy anything from any device, whether or not there is a partition. In any case, if your sd card was unpartitioned, it wouldn't support emuNAND and so your story doesn't make sense.Don't worry, I know how I'm going to do it already. Also, since it's unpartitioned, I doubt this would work.

I don't have a gateway. I'm just using the same terminology as the gateway team:Do you even think about what you're writing? :/ The part of the SD card that holds the EmuNAND's data is not partitioned. It's just written to the card in raw form.
http://gateway-3ds.com/Booting into Gateway mode will now automatically check for the emuNAND partition and emulate the system NAND using this partition. We have also included an option to boot into Classic mode that enables genuine retail gamecards and the emuNAND functionality, allowing it to run like a regular 3DS on latest firmware.

Because by default that space is part of the SDcard's fat partition. It has to use part of that partitions space and it can't reasonably resize and move it like say gparted (unix app) can. So it just kills all data on your sdcard, preps an mbr with partition table where the only partition starts 1GB into the sdcard and ends at the last block. Then it copies your nand into the unpartitioned space and formats the fat32 partition.I was under the impression it made a 1gig partition for the EmuNAND, if its just writing raw to the start, why does it pad it out to 1gb ??
Last thought and that is in theory somone should be able to make a Hybrid Gateway Nand to install to the hardware Nand. This would be alot like the 4.x FW that modified PS3 uses (which still has a 3.55 core). Also, I heard this elsewhere but again in theory that modified Nand could be injected into the image of a game cart put on the Gateway and then installed like a normal update. Once these 'modified' firmwares get stable I think that would be really cool to have a 4.5/6.x hybrid on my system Nand so I could boot right to 'Gateway' mode on a cold boot.
