Homebrew [TUTORIAL] Recover DSiWare/3DSWare after a system format.

[bootmonster]

Yeah unlinked, have two sets of folders on my SD. Thanks all, will see if a solution comes up without having to format my EmuNAND.

How do I link my NANDs?

I linked them by using a spare sd card, formating emunand via gateway, then install the dsiware cia/cia's.

Afterwards, did you unlink the NANDs?

I just deleted that emunand entirely, once they are on the sysnand, you dont need it, I used my supercards' mSD card because I didn't want to screw with my other emunands.

 

[Patxinco]

Just my suposition, could we allow to get DSi ware exploitable cia's installed on emunand and sysnand using this method? I'm talking about this ones: http://bootmii.org/dsiexploits/downloads/exploitslist
That could allow to get again access to DSi features, i'm right?

 

[Nuxx20]

Would this work for every other DSiWare CIAs?

It worked for my cia I made of Risky's Revenge. Again it was one I made from my own ticket.db via funkycia, but I had formated the sysnand and it still worked so, it appears so.

 

[Ericss]

It's official: GW lets you play DSiware, albeit in an indirect way

 

[gamefan5]

... Still wishing it worked for GBA games. ;o;

if you followed a guide to unlink the nands (like the one linked in my signature), then you SHOULD have kept a backup of the emunand that was linked with sysnand. if you did, you can do this:

- backup your current emunand with emunand tool;
- restore the emunand that is linked to sysnand with emunand tool;
- follow the guide in the first post;
- restore your emunand;

since the game is on sysnand I guess it wouldn't matter restoring an unlinked emunand afterwards.

IIRC there was a guide similar to this a while ago and it only worked on EU consoles, but maybe that's changed.

that guide is in the thread that contains the guide I made to unlink the nands (in my signature, as I said above).

000480044b513945 is the US version ID. Anyone know the European ID for Four Swords?

This is the error message that I'm getting

Are you sysnand and emunand linked?

 

[Tank Dempsey]

Are you sysnand and emunand linked?

Yes. DevMenu is on both sysNAND and emuNAND. Do they need to be unlinked?

 

[nastys]

Yes. DevMenu is on both sysNAND and emuNAND.

Actually, "linked" means that you didn't format your sysnand or emunand, so that they still share the same keys (or something like that)...

Oh, so how do I link them?

Use another SD card (or backup your emunand) then format the emunand again (from the Gateway menu, not System Settings!)

That's exactly what I did

EDIT: double posted by accident... again, because of a 504 error

Now delete the DSiWare from Data Management and import it again into the emunand, copy it from emunand to SD using emunand DM, go to sysnand and copy from SD to sysnand using sysnand DM.

Do I import it using DevMenu?

Edit: Sorry for breaking your balls, but I think a video would help me the most if that is not too much to ask.

 

[nastys]

Do I import it using DevMenu?

Yes, use DevMenu (or Big Blue/Red Menu)

 

[Tank Dempsey]

Yes, use DevMenu (or Big Blue/Red Menu)

At about 8 minutes.

 

[Tank Dempsey]

At about 8 minutes.

I mean a video with installing Legend of Zelda 4 Swords to sysNAND. I should have been clearer.

 

[nastys]

I can't, because I already have that game installed.
But if you do again what you did before it should work this time, because now sysnand and emunand are linked.
