Emunand/Emummc Switcher Multitool for SXOS and Atmosphere.
This can simultaneously operate a maximum of three Emunands on the SD card per CFW and be changed with a few clicks. The Emunands and the content installed on SD are all separate and can be updated with different system software versions.
At the moment this is for SXOS and Atmosphere SD Emunand/Emummc. It works on all system software versions (payload) because it is an RCM app and will run before any CFW or Nintendo code follows.
Note: Use at your own risk. The author is not responsible if your SD card is broken, your Switch explodes or the moon falls to earth.
Installation
SXOS
Before installation, an Emunand must be created by SXOS and confirmed working. The installation should be done on the PC, console off, SD in the PC (important because of the Emutendo folder, otherwise there are errors). So not with NX-Shell or similar.

The folder structure will change if an emunand is being switched, please do not change it. The app orientate on the folder which Emunand is installed, etc. If the original state is to be established, install Emunand 1. Then everything is in the state as only one Emunand would be installed.

Note: If the Atmosphere CFW version is changed (New SD Files), the fusee-primary.bin payload in the emunandswitcher/payloads
folder must also be replaced with the new one. Also the files in the titles
folders must be replaced by the new ones. Otherwise Atmosphere will not start anymore.
User guide
How to use
Start the Emunandswitcher via the desired method:
- start via NRO in the Homebrew menu, or
- start NSP in the Switch Menu, or
- send the payload.
Select the desired CFW on the Switch.
- The app provides notifications when a theme is installed, and it also detects and displays when a theme has been deleted. To prevent the startup error that may occur after a system software update, it's necessary to delete the theme using the Tools option.
- The Themes and other LayeredFS files in the titles folder are moved when changing an Emunand, and each of them are bound to the installed Emunand.
Select desired tab ...
- Under "Start CFW", the currently active emunand is being updated from config.ini. "Emunand 1 - 3" displays the input in the config.ini.
- To change an Emunand, press on the desired icon. The app always tells you what is done or if something went wrong. Nothing is changed if the conditions are not right.
- (Note: With SXOS only boot0.bin, boot1.bin and full.00.bin are checked because there can be different sizes of an emunand. Atmosphere checks if the folder eMMC exists.)
- After the change, the changed emunand is displayed under "Start CFW". Start with the CFW icon, the CFW will start with the changed Emunand.
- Repeat these steps for every change you want.
To make the original state just install Emunand 1 and start CFW.
