Hi,

I'm at a point where I would like to upgrade to a larger sd card, but used the hidden partition for my emunand when I originally set up my existing card. I don't want to lose my save data and wanted to find out if it Is possible to copy the hidden partition and save data to the new card. Or if there is a way to at least copy the save data. Are there any utilities, guides, etc for doing this?

I searched and looked through the guides, but haven't found anything regarding migrating the emunand if it's in a hidden partition.

Any advice would be appreciated.

There is no super easy way at the moment to migrate the hidden partition unfortunately. You can how ever use Checkpoint to backup your saves and then restore them when you create a new emunand on the new SD.
