Thank you for the file, it works, unfortunately it only worked part-ways!?
I can select/see both mSDs in the 'pick source' option, but after I select my old mSD card, the 'target' field option for 'Atmosphere hidden Partition' is grayed out, so trying to select the new mSD card is impossible.

I re-checked, technically those options gray out in target, right after I click 'Atmosphere hidden Partition' on source side.

In the target field, I can only select 'Atmosphere File' or 'SXOS File' and then can select someplace on my Windows OS SSD to save it to, but I'm not trying to do that.
I'm just trying to copy/move all my settings/games/etc from one mSD card to a bigger mSD card so I don't have to try and download/re-install anything, am I missing something again?
Thanks for the help, I need it still ;/
Emutool was never designed to copy hidden partitions, but to convert them.

Ok, so if I do this then it will work?
Source:: Atmosphere Hidden Partition (Old mSD card)
Target: Atmosphere File (Folder location on my PC)
...
then once it's done, do opposite to put it on my new mSD card?
Source: Atmosphere File (Folder on my PC)
Target: Atmosphere Hidden Partition (new mSD card)

Also:
1-Will this copy or move the files off the old mSD card?
2-Do I need to have the new mSD card pre-formated to FAT32, or already partitioned via hekate?
Thanks!

It only copy the emunand, not the rest of your files on the SD card so you need to copy that over. Once you finish moving the emunand you can format the rest of the partition to FAT32.

You first make the backup from one card to your hard drive in files format.

then use the files to restore to the other card. or use the files to create a new File Based EmuNAND.

the program target is to backup / restore, no migrate from one to other, sorry.

Yes, but he can backup hidden partition to sd files and create a new hidden partition on his new Sd Card from sd files backup...😏 I've been playing with this tool for other purposes : https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-...en-partitions-on-the-same-sd-tutorial.601607/

Any way to use this to transfer emunand to sysnand? The conversion only supports file based emummc rather than the rawdump format of hekate.

So far tried nxnandmanager rawdump of emunand then restore to sysnand failed.

if your emuNAND is file based just copy the files to "SD:\backup\<YOURID>\"

if your emuNAND is a raw partition based one, then use EmuTool to convert it on a set of files on your Harddrive and then copy the files to "SD:\backup\<YOURID>\"
