Except the game was cryptofixed and launched fine

Hmm, well, they're supposed to be RF. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean they are. I missed the other post where you mentioned having them working with NTR. So, I guess they aren't completely RF. You'll probably have to use the region emulation. You don't have to create a separate folder per game, just a separate file. You could make 10 copies of the same file, then just rename them by copying and pasting their title IDs (assuming you want the same region and language for them all). Still more time-consuming than you'd like, probably, but it should work, and without having to run NTR. Maybe they can add a global region setting eventually (maybe even full region changing on-the-fly, that would be nice).

anyone else ever let their 3ds in sleep mode , and then after some hours opening up the lid and you are greeted with "an error has occured, please power off etc." < the famous black error screen.

i am running a9lh with updated sysNAND luma ! mmm and my mSD is a 64gig Class 10 legit sdcard. (N3DSXL)
so.. and also, i never leave a game running in the background and put console to sleep, i rarely do that.

and the time that error occured i had it in sleep mode with nothing running , just on the homemenu of my updated sysNAND (Luma) and i had it put on charge.

at first i freaked out, cause similar thing happened on my og3ds and i was forced to wipe the SD card as the error sticked permanently and at the time my og3ds was also on A9LH with updated sysNAND Luma cfw.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that using NTR back when i had GW made them work, but I had to make a specific folder for each game each time and it was a pain.
Is there a way to have Luma just auto-patch everything for english?
No...that would cause more problems than it's worth to just auto patch everything to a specific region. You do have to make a file, but it's pretty easy....you only have to do it once.

I leave my N3DS for days in sleep mode without problems. Since 3.x, until latest nightly.

Most boot managers like CTR Boot Manager come as a "boot.3dsx" but you can easily just rename them to "auto.3dsx" instead.
"ropbinpayload_menuhax_*.bin" file with a hex editor, and search for "boot.3dsx" you can change it to run something else, like "auto.3dsx" instead. That way you can keep your Homebrew Menu, and have MenuHax run something else, like a boot manager

Thank you again.

So i edited "ropbinpayload_menuhax" and set it to "luma.3dsx" and works. Now it's boot direct to "luma.3dsx"
Now i have "boot.3dsx" it's a boot manager that have options like "HBL", Boot sysnand with pacth, xorpads etc.

But now what? If i hold "L" before boot it's boots to sysnand ignoring menuhax.
If i dont hold nothing it's boot to "luma.3dsx"

And what button can i press to boot to "boot.3dsx" so i can have acess to boot manager and use it's options?

In menuhax setup i used only "type 2" i hold L and touch screen. Do i need to go back there and do something else?

Or there is a magic button that will ignore "luma.3dsx" and boot to "boot.3dsx" so i can have acess to options?

I tried Select. But it's set to open luma options. Tried "L" after boot screen but it's get a loop and always return to boot.
Tried "R" etc.

So what button i hold and when before screen or after screen to boot "boot.3dsx" instead luma.3dsx ( it's setup to payload)

Thank you in advance.

Edit : If i hold "L" before power on. It's go right to original sysnand.
IF i hold "L" after boot screen. And keep it "L" hold. It's goes to sysnand with Luma3ds pacth. It's great because need to install dsi e gba there to run emunand. But still want acess to HBL and xorpads.

You most likely bumped your SD card slot. That's happened to me before and I just ended up swapping my MicroSD card adaptor with a thicker one to get a better connection.

That shouldn't be the case at all, can you try replicating it? Also he said he got an ErrDisp, when even on emuNAND it would just hang.
Nope, I just tried and it didn't cause an error. It could have also been the SD adaptor I was using at the time that was causing issues. It used to hang when copying files and would randomly stop working with my laptop. So I threw it away. This was several weeks ago though.
I wish I could be more help, but my case was most likely faulty hardware. I swapped out the MicroSD reader and I haven't had an issue ever since. It could be the same here, but that would be very oddly specific problem.

I can't get the developer version to work, it crashes my 3DS before booting home menu whenever I have developer features enabled.
It works if I disable that option. Already tried deleting config.bin

Using Luma3DS v5.5 dev
