How to set up emuNAND with Atmosphere on Erista (Unpatched)
What you'll need:
Setup:
Before you begin:
- You will need a 64gb SD card or bigger!
- You will need to disable automated backing up of your save data.
- To do this, go to
⚙️Settings
🠆Data Management
🠆Save Data Cloud
🠆Settings
and disableAutomatically Back Up Save Data
andAutomatically Download Save Data
.
- To do this, go to
- Make sure you back up all of your files on your SD card to your PC and then delete them off your SD card!
- This is very important, because your SD card needs to be empty!
- Once you have completed setting up your device, ensure that you never format your SD card to exFAT.
- exFAT users are more likely to experience SD card corruption than FAT32 users.
- Make sure to read this so that you may later decide on which EmuNAND type to pick.
