3DS:Move EmuNAND: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:29, 6 March 2024

This is an add-on section for moving the contents of a previous EmuNAND to your new SysNAND CFW, then removing the old EmuNAND partition. Note that the terms EmuNAND and RedNAND refer to slightly different implementations of the same concept.

Note that if you have any payload files other than GodMode9.firm in the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card, holding (Start) on boot will display a "chainloader menu" where you will have to use the D-Pad and the (A) button to select "GodMode9" for these instructions.

You MUST have already installed Luma3DS and boot9strap to use this.

What You Need

An existing EmuNAND
The latest release of GodMode9

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Copy GodMode9.firm from the GodMode9 .zip to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card
Copy the gm9 folder from the GodMode9 .zip to the root of your SD card
Reinsert your SD card into your device

Section II - Backup SysNAND DSiWare Saves

If you do not have any DSiWare games or saves that you care about, skip this section.

Launch GodMode9 by holding (Start) during boot
If you are prompted to create an essential files backup, press (A) to do so, then press (A) to continue once it is completed
If you are prompted to fix the RTC date&time, press (A) to do so, then set the date and time, then press (A) to continue
- Note that, if you had to fix the RTC date and time, you will have to fix the time in the System Settings as well after this guide
Navigate to [2:] SYSNAND TWLN -> title
Hold (R) and press (A) at the same time on 00030004 to select the folder, then select "Copy to 0:/gm9/out"
- This process may take some time if you have many DSiWare games
Press (B) twice to return to the main menu

Section III - Backup GBA VC Saves

If you do not have any GBA VC games or saves that you care about, skip this section.

Note that this is not necessary for any other kind of Virtual Console games (GBC, NES, etc)

The game will be outputted to the /gm9/out/ folder on your SD card with the name <TitleID>.gbavc.sav.

To identify a <TitleID>.gbavc.sav file’s Title ID, you can get a listing of all games on the system and their corresponding Title IDs by hovering over [A:] SYSNAND SD, holding (R) and pressing (A) at the same time, then selecting "Search for titles".

Do the following process for each GBA VC game that you want to back up the save for:
- Launch the GBA VC game
- Exit the GBA VC game
- Boot your device while holding (Start) to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu
- Launch GodMode9 by pressing (A)
- Navigate to [S:] SYSNAND VIRTUAL
- Press (A) on agbsave.bin to select it
- Select "AGBSAVE options…"
- Select "Dump GBA VC save"
- Press (A) to continue
- Press (Start) to reboot your device

Section IV - Copy EmuNAND to SysNAND

Launch GodMode9 by holding (Start) during boot
Navigate to [E:] EMUNAND VIRTUAL
Press (A) on nand.bin to select it, then select "NAND image options…", then select "Restore SysNAND (safe)"
Press (A) to unlock SysNAND overwriting, then input the key combo given
- This will not overwrite your boot9strap installation
Input the key combo given to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing
- This process will take some time
Once it is completed, press (A) to continue
Press (B) to decline relocking write permissions if prompted
Press (B) to return to the main menu

Section V - Restore DSiWare Saves

If you did not backup DSiWare Saves earlier, skip this section.

Navigate to [0:] SDCARD -> gm9 -> out
Press (Y) on the 00030004 folder to copy it
Press (B) twice to return to the main menu
Navigate to [2:] SYSNAND TWLN -> title
Press (Y) to paste the 00030004 folder
Select "Copy path(s)"
Press (A) to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing, then input the key combo given
Select "Overwrite file(s)"
- This process may take some time if you have many DSiWare games
Press (B) to decline relocking write permissions if prompted
Press (B) twice to return to the main menu

Section VI - Restore GBA VC Saves

If you did not backup GBA VC Saves earlier, skip this section.

To identify a <TitleID>.gbavc.sav file’s Title ID, you can get a listing of all games on the system and their corresponding Title IDs by holding (R) and pressing (A) on the GodeMode9 main menu, then selecting "Search for titles". {: .notice–info}

Hold (R) and press (Start) at the same time to power off your device
Power on your device into SysNAND
Do the following process for each GBA VC game that you want to restore the save for:
- Launch the GBA VC game
- Exit the GBA VC game
- Boot your device while holding (Start) to launch the Luma3DS chainloader menu
- Launch GodMode9 by pressing (A)
- Navigate to [0:] SDCARD -> gm9
- Press (Y) on the <TitleID>.gbavc.sav file you wish to restore to copy it
- Press (B) to return to the main menu
- Navigate to [S:] SYSNAND VIRTUAL
- Press (A) on agbsave.bin to select it
- Select "AGBSAVE options…"
- Select "Inject GBA VC save"
- Press (A) to continue
- Press (Start) to reboot your device
- Launch the GBA VC game
- Exit the GBA VC game
Launch GodMode9 by holding (Start) during boot

Section VII - Backup SysNAND

Press (Home) to bring up the action menu
Select "Scripts…"
Select "GM9Megascript"
Select "Backup Options"
Select "SysNAND Backup"
Press (A) to confirm
- This process will take some time
- If you get an error, make sure that you have at least 1.3GB of free space on your SD card
Press (A) to continue
Press (B) to return to the main menu
Select "Exit"
Press (A) to relock write permissions if prompted
Hold (R) and press (B) at the same time to eject your SD card
Insert your SD card into your computer
Copy <date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_###.bin and essential.exefs from the /gm9/out/ folder on your SD card to a safe location on your computer
- Make backups in multiple locations (such as online file storage)
- These backups will save you from a brick and/or help you recover files from the NAND image if anything goes wrong in the future
Delete <date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_###.bin and <date>_<serialnumber>_sysnand_###.bin.sha from the /gm9/out/ folder on your SD card after copying it
Backup every file on your SD card to a folder on your computer; all files will be deleted in the following steps

Section VIII - Format SD card

Reinsert your SD card into your device
Press (Home) to bring up the action menu
Select "More…"
Select "SD format menu"
Press (A) to confirm
Select "No EmuNAND"
Select "Auto"
Press (A) to accept the label GM9SD
- Optionally, you may input a custom name for the SD card
When prompted, input the key combo given to confirm
Hold (R) and press (B) at the same time to eject your SD card
Insert your SD card into your computer
Copy all your files back to your SD card
- Ensure you replace the boot.firm file on your SD card with the one from your backup
Reinsert your SD card into your device
Press (A) to remount your SD card
Press (Start) to reboot
If you get a black screen, follow this troubleshooting guide
