Emunand on the SD Card?

[swiggityswoggit]

I understand the reasons why the emunand was originally made on the internal storage, but now that USB Drive support is a feature, there's a lot less reason to be concerned with SD Card space.
So now that USB Drive support is a thing, will be able to get the option to install the emunand to the microSD card?
Sure, the speeds might be a bit more varied, but it would be a lot safer by leaving the internal storage completely unmodified for those of us who want a clean sysnand for online play.

Yes that would be great! That's why I do not use this feature yet!

From what I understand it's safe to use currently, because the switch currently isn't checking for where the emunand is, but it's possible that a future firmware update will allow them to tell.
I do have emunand set up on my switch currently, but I would much prefer it to be on my microSD instead.

Hi! Yes, please create an option to install emunand on the SD card so that we can secure the original nand and play online. It would be great and could bring other users to decide to buy a liscense SX OS. In any case, thank you for the work you have done so far!

I do not want to touch my internal memory, that's why I do not use emunand yet.

I never touched my SX Pro because i'm waiting any solution with emunand on microSDCard like my N3DS.

Dear Team Xecuter, please make it possible to create an Emunand on the SD card!

I've been requesting this from the very beginning, sent various emails to tech support after every update since its release... pleading for TX to give us the choice to create a full 1:1 emunand copy to the microsd card instead of stuffing around with the nand copy on the eMMC.

No reply obviously, but hopefully if enough people are requesting it they will reconsider implementing such a feature.

Here a quote with some similar request:

I wonder how i could have clean switch?
I mean like is it possible that I have only OFW, and when I inject payload and start SX OS, that when i turn it off and on and boot normal in to OFW and switch SD Cards.
I think not, only then if EmuNand works on SDCard, but then it would be possible?

 

[alexbox369]

The Team Xecuter seems to be silent on this subject and it's sad

 

[lyn2018]

Maybe TX will consider it if Atmosphere brings that feature. The only advantage over the free CFWs is for me the USB support. In addition, the SX OS does not seem to have something like a custom crash report system module.

 

[McFriedNoodles]

bumping for exposure so TX devs can see this... i mean they keep asking for feedback/requests with every new update, this is legitimate feedback so please implement

For me, there are 1001 games still playable with firmware 5.1.0 and below so I am patiently waiting and hoping that eventually emunand will be available on the sdcard.

Just would like to thanks the Team for Emunand.
I can use now SX Pro
Now we only need additional prevent GC access (booting emunand) like hekate :
Adding in file hekate_ipl.ini --> kip1patch=nogc
To disableling update card controler using a emunand firmware >= to 4.0 firmware.
if we have a firmware nand < to 4.0. (is my case).
Because in this case it will be unable to use card controler after using emunand firmware >= to 4.0

Anyway big thanks for this future on 2.3beta (emunand on sdcard)

think f you wanna be almost save..you use SDemunand + 6.1CFW and when you are bootting to OFW you take the SDcard out.. Sounds a hassle but that way you can maybe stay clean.
