VashTS · May 29, 2016

not sure if its luma or a9lh - i just did a9lh and now when i try to play a game online it says i have to update my system...i am using an emunand on latest 11.0 update. was working online prior to a9lh.

i installed the cia files from luma3ds wiki - O3DS AGB.cia, O3DS NATIVE104.CIA AND O3DS TWL.CIA but still same results.

just for reference, did updating those CIAs have any effect?

Do A and B buttons not work for payload loading? Holding one of these two buttons just take me to the splash screen.

U may have to hold L also

A and B are reserved for persistence override and booting a second emunand (respectively). Therefore you have to hold L when launching A and B payloads IIRC.

Do I simply replace the old files with the new ones for updating? And should I use the dev version, sounds like it's only for developers.

I would just use the regular version unless you have some specific reason for needing a dev version feature. It's also a good idea to delete your old configuration file from the "luma" folder because the old configuration files are apparently not 100% compatible with 5.5

The old config file issue was fixed a while ago. He can just hold select on boot to make sure.

Stable or nightly? Not everyone runs the latest nightly after all. It doesn't hurt anything to delete it, regardless. I always do when I upgrade any CFW just in case.

OK, I'll re-download 5.5 then.

I think it was fixed before the rename. Every time a new option got added it messed it up. So aurora fixed that issue so the config files wouldn't get messed up anymore.

Well, deleting the config file just fixed an issue for someone updating from 5.4 to 5.5 today. It was booting to SysNAND, and they did not have "SysNAND is updated" selected. So I told them to delete the file and it worked.

Oh that is odd. Was it only one person?

Yeah, they thought it was the modified Safe A9LH Installer causing it, then they tried 5.4 and it worked, so I suggested deleting the config file. It worked. They're happy. That's all that matters.

Ya. Just making sure it wasn't wide spread as that would be an actual bug.

Are there still issues with sleep mode? I have 5.5 flashed to my sys, and it never seems to come out of sleep mode.

it might sound dumb but it might also be the cause of your Problem.. Do you have the "luma" folder on the root of your sd card?
I experienced that issue before & later realized I forgot to move the folder while switching Cards.

Seems like Luma3DS doesn't create/save the configurations if the luma directory doesn't exist.

That doesn't sound dumb at all. After formatting my entire 3DS and starting almost-over, I was able to correct my mistake. My luma folder was in the correct place. I had just messed up backing up and overlapping important 3DS files, which I think sounds even stupider. Good thing those types of files wouldn't cause bricks..
