I can natively remove emuNAND from Windows?

Just use the diskpart command in CMD.
I only use Minitool because it lets me format my 64GB card to Fat32 after without any effort. I think it can be done via CMD somehow, but I'm pretty lazy ^^"

so what are the actual advantages(disadv.) of using sysNAND alone ? like wiping emuNAND and having only one .

are cias still installable on the sys one? or only legit ones, thanks in advance :)

I accidentally backed up the entire emunand (on 10.6) and restored it to SysNAND and lost a9lh when I first set things up.

This is why you shouldn't do 3ds hacking at 4 in the morning.
I got my otp and went the a9lh way at 4:30 in the morning.[emoji14]Took me 1:45 hours.

You can do everything you could do in EmuNAND on SysNAND.

wow, mmm well i would like to have the 1-2 gigs back LOL ..even though i have a 64gig card in.
i love keeping lot of free space , if i wiped emuNAND.

can i restore/flash it onto the sysNAND or how would it go on working? and are the apps that work in emuNAND also gonna work in there?
like bootntr and CHMM etc.

All apps that worked in EmuNAND will work in SysNAND.

You can boot decrypt9, backup the CTRNAND partition of your EmuNAND, then inject it into your SysNAND to install EmuNAND to SysNAND. After that you can format your SD card without EmuNAND.

That's totally understandable :)

*I haven't tested this* but you MAY be able to use something like GParted to extend the fat32 partition of your SD card over the emunand partition.

Don't try it without an SD card backup though :)

I'd like to make the switch from cakes to Aureinand. I've got a question though. Looking at the guide I followed to downgrade my 3ds (currently on a9lh + cakes and 10.7) there's no information on the aureinand setup on how to block firm partition update patches to enable safe updating to the latest firmware releases. Is this something auirenand does without any need to configure it?

AuReiNAND automatically blocks FIRM0/1 partition updates.
