ROM Hack I feel really bad that I installed Luma cfw and sold my gateway

Chrisssj2 · Sep 19, 2017

Converted all my games to cia. lost save games because of certain reasons. And started using the luma CFW.
Now with playing games I sometimes get an crash.

For example when i was playing dbz butoden. I suddenly get Data abort error..

Like Wtf is this crappy CFW. NEVER had such issues with any CFW or gateway.
I regret installing this piece of crap cfw.. but now too late to go back.

What CFW are you using? I haven't had any of these issues. Maybe a corrupt SD card?

-Edit- I must be blind. Did you go through all of the Luma setup steps? Which method did you use to install it? What firmware version did you install it on?

Maybe there is an infinitesimal possibility that you are not configuring the CFW correctly, don't you think? It's so easy to blame others when it could be just user error :/

First, disable arm11 exception handlers in the luma config screen (hold select at boot) then if the problem persists check for sd card errors.

I think they clearly said that they are using Luma multiple times.

Yeah I must be blind. I edited my previous post.

I have no problems with Luma at all and i have exception handler enabled. "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair"

Also you posted in the wrong section.

Try luma v7.1

B9S+Luma is a hell of a lot more sensitive in reading files from good SD cards than A9LH or Gateway's FastBoot. Every single time I see people with constant/random "dump" errors it's always been a bad SD card. Just because it works, doesn't mean it's not corrupted. You should test it for bad sectors and replace it if the program says anything other than "Test finished without errors"

When I was using gateway, I literally never had any issues. The only thing I had to do was wait for stuff sometimes. I had already payed for the cart, no big deal. It was a huge pain to transfer and covert all my .savs. I had no issues with anything GW but switched over due to mostly peer pressure lol

99% it's either user Error/Configuration/Faulty or Fake SD card. So instead, take that into consideration before complaining, as it's not the CFW.

I had/have this with a BRAND new SD card. scanned for errors and none.

Then it's most likely your setup. These errors are by no means universal and they can't be reproduced by everyone running the "same" setup. That in and of itself should be enough to tell you it's you, or your console. Check the "issues" section on the Luma Github, or random threads around here where noobs have the same issues; you'll see what I mean.

Will this option possibly avoid crashes? anyway. i did not have this enabled. Lets say it does. However, it is still crappy you need to resort to troubleshooting when using a CFW which otherwise was near perfect with other CFW/game options.

Which version of Luma do you use?

Just typing this out of my own experience. Boot9Strap crashes far more EVER than what Menuhax+EmuNand and Arm9loaderhax did for me in the past.

Loading up mods? Crashes the entire 3DS instantly
Loading .cia homebrew? Crashes the entire 3DS on start/exit
Just using it normally? Crashes the entire 3DS in mid gameplay

Although I have faith that Boot9Strap will fix these, it just crashes alot more often than it should.
Also before you say that my SD Card is fake or my 3DS is faulty. I bought it brand new out of the box and bought the SD Card at a trusted retailer.

If you aren't on the latest Luma (8.1.1), try updating, supposedly the latest version is more stable.
Also, you could try the latest nightly: https://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/

That doesn't stop a legit card from being faulty though.

It's not an issue with Boot9Strap. If anywhere, the issue lies with Luma itself.

Have you made any home menu modifications in the past? Have you checked run external modules, since that should be disabled. Also, for the record, whether the blame is worth it or not, Everybody could care less that you're unhappy with your cfw. This isn't a customer service where you can speak to the manager if you complain enough, this is a website where people try to help others based on just the will to do so. Complaining will only make people less inclined to help you. If you're unhappy with your current setup, there's a good chance something just went wrong, as hundreds of other people use it with no issues. Just keep the regret to yourself instead of making yourself seem like an upset customer at king kullen.

The repeated level of indignance exhibited by the OP makes me think this might not even be real.
