Hello,
I am using a N3DS on ReiNand. When I launch Tiny Format, there is no option to switch between which NAND is being formatted I have two questions:
1. When I press Y to format, does it only format the SysNand and leave the EmuNand alone? (or do I need to remove SD Card?)
2. When they are unlinked, doesn't that delete MenuHax? Would I have to launch ReiNand using BrowserHax every single time, or can I re-install MenuHax?

1. It formats the NAND you are on. There is no way for your emuNAND to touch your sysNAND and vice versa. It's best to format your sysNAND though, since I assume you will be using menuhax autoboot.
2. You'll have to reinstall menuhax, but it's a painless process since you already know how to do it :)

Thank you for your help :)
My last question is...how to I launch Tiny Format while in SysNand? If I select Tiny Format on the home screen, it says I need to redownload it from the eShop and it disappears. It only allows me to open it if I launch after starting ReiNand and therefore bringing me to EmuNand. What should I do?

I'm using RxTools on my o3ds and was wondering about this too. I installed fbi and other apps that don't show up in home menu on sysnand by mistake and now I can't get rid of it


EDIT: using mini pasta + big blue box I was able to install tiny format and other apps in sysnand and they worked

That's great that you got it working! Although me, being on a N3DS, I cannot use mini pasta, so how would I open Tiny Format on my SysNand?

P.S. I might as well ask this here - once they're seperated, do I sign my Nintendo ID into SysNand or EmuNand?

Using the .3dsx version :)
or pressing "L" while reinand boot
or using rxtools since it works on sysnand too

it's better to do it in emunand.

Having a new3DS doesn't exclude you from using Mini Pasta, you only need an entry point to load the HBL from.

or pressing "L" while reinand boot
Pressing L? I thought reiNAND no longer allowed booting into sysNAND, and when it did it wasn't by pressing L.

Thank you all for your help, I finally unlinked my NANDs!! But now it seems I am unable to reinstall Menuhax. (one thing after another right?) I boot into hbl via browserhax and attempt to install menuhax but it gives an error. If I attempt to install it from EmuNand, it says installed successfully but it does not work... Is it because they are unlinked?

Did you get this sorted? If not, you just need to open the theme settings menu on your home screen once before installing MenuHax.

Also to your NNID question, you link it in EmuNAND.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
