Recently I've been trying to install B9S from A9LH on my Old 3DS. I'm pretty sure I've done everything correct, in terms of putting the required files on to my SD card and in their correct places. However when I put the SD card into my 3DS, hold start and boot I get nothing just a black screen. I've tried countless times of replacing files and such but still nothing.

What's inside your Luma/payloads folder? And what's inside the boot9strap folder? You still need the arm9loaderhax.bin on your SD card until you successfully install B9S, maybe you deleted it?

Does the blue light blink on then off? What happens if you boot without the SD card in?

The light doesn't blink at all and when I boot without the SD card inserted its fine.

In my Luma/payloads folder I have GodMode9.firm & start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin and for the boot9strap folder I have boot9strap.firm & boot9strap.firm.sha

Okay and you're 100% sure you have the arm9loaderhax.bin on the root as well? If so, do me a favor and delete it (move it to your PC), then take the "start_SafeB9SInstaller.bin" and rename it to "arm9loaderhax.bin" and put it on the root of your SD and restart the console.

Hold Select on boot with SD card. What Luma version does it say? Download this version and put it on your SD card. https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
