So, I’ve had my 3ds xl homebrewed for a long time, so much so that I’ve forgotten how to fix things. It’s been a while, so I don’t remember what I was doing, possibly messing with plugins, I believe, and screwed something up, and now I can’t get past this screen. I currently don’t have an adapter for the micro sd to put in my laptop. What did I do, and how can I fix it? If someone can please assist me, I will be forever grateful. Thanks in advance to anyone with the time and patience to help a noob out!

Please hold (Select) on power on to start Luma3DS settings.

Which version number is shown?
Does it say "Booted from SD via B9S"? on the bottom?

Seems you updated the official firmware before updating Luma. You have to replace boot.firm (and while you're at it boot.3dsx) with the latest version.

I currently don’t have an adapter for the micro sd to put in my laptop.
No way around inserting the SD into a computer (or a phone/tablet or whatever can write file there.)

Got it. Will have to wait until I unpack to find an sd adapter, as I just moved. Thank you very much for the help. It is much appreciated. Just to be clear, you mean the latest version of the Luma boot.3dsx and .firm, not the officials?

Yes, that’s what you’ll need. Go to the Luma GitHub page and grab the latest releases.
