I still have no idea on how to use path changer as I do not have a "Luma3DS.bin" file. Is there another way to be able to play high ram games such as SSB?

If you're using menuhax you have to have Luma3DS.dat on your root. There is no alternative.

Anyone having trouble using ds flash carts on luma 3ds official v5.5 release? I tried both r4igold3ds and supercard dstwo but both of them just show a black screen. Worked fine on luma 3ds v5.4.

I am indeed using Menuhax, so I have placed the Luma3DS.dat file onto the Pathcanger application and typed "Luma3DS.dat" into the command line. Then I moved the file back onto the root of the SD card. Should this now work?

Just tried everything I use in O3DS and everything works as intended. Acekard 2i working good.

Use NTR CFW. This isn't the thread for that.

Download the releases from here:
https://github.com/44670/BootNTR

Then set it up according to any of the posts in the tutorial section.

Read the NTR github page. It tells you how to set it up.

Thank you. Turns out it also says so on the Ntr Cfw Guide thread.

Use the 10.2 firmware.bin (from Plai's guide).

Wait. What is the firmware.bin? I have one in my luma folder. Does it always need to be there?

It's a dump of the nintendo 3ds firmware. It replaces the native_firm on the 3ds when you boot luma, which lets you use older firmwares on the newest version. This lets you use stuff like NTR on the newest update. The one from plailect's guide is 10.2 NFIRM.

NTR CFW is an arm11 CFW, which means that it hooks into the home menu and that you have to load it after everything else has booted. Luma is an arm9 CFW, which means it patches the firmware.

I need help. Hyrule Warriors Legends won't boot and just stays on the 3DS Screen with the red stuff forever. I read the FAQ and it said to do something with Luma3DS.bin (pathchanger program), however I do not have a Luma3DS.bin anywhere on my SD Card. Is Luma meant only for A9LH users and if so, what other options are available? CakesFW doesn't work (I tried the Survive Reboot option because Legends needs the more RAM mode I think) and PastaCFW stopped booting entirely a while back. Also, I'm on a 9.2 O3DS but CakesFW says my NATIVE_FIRM is 9.6.0 so I don't know if that's related at all but it might be the cause for all I know.

Your issue probably has nothing to do with Luma3DS. If you installed it as CIA downloaded from somewhere, just visit its eShop page and try again.

I am having issues with Mario Open Tennis to create a local session. Tried different .cia files. Worked fine yesterday on gateway but since luma no chance.. Always get a message like "failure to communicate". I can connect to Nintendo Network just fine but no local group. Local groups on Tetris and Mario Kart 7 work fine.. Anyone had that issue before?
