Homebrew Question Transfer EMUnand to bigger SD card (SX OS)

[FabienvgNL]

so, a week ago I created Emunand on a hidden partition on a 64 Gb SD card. I played some XCI games, haven’t installed any nsp games. Now I have a 400Gb SD card and would like to transfer the Emunand with the save files to it. Should I just create Emunand on the new SD card, and copy and replace all files/folders from the old SD card to the new SD card?

AFAIK hidden partition will not show in windows explorer to copy files from.....

You might be able to do it with other tools to clone partitions to new SD card then expand exfat partition to utilize unallocated space. Have not attempted.

If all you want to do is carry over saves, I would just back them up with Checkpoint and create a fresh emunand on the new SD. Then transfer the saves and whatever else over.

Thanks. So I don’t need to copy over the nintendo folder from the old sd card if I just want to restore saves? Are you sure about that? Because in the Nintendo folder I see a saves folder. I know those arent the actual saves, but I’m notsure wheyher they are still importsnt to be copied over though.

Just clone you sd card to the new one using one of the many clone utilities available via a simple search on google - then resize your fat32/exfat partition afterwards using one of the many utilities available to do that. Job done!

Yeah I would copy all files/folders from the old SD.
