Once you get everything sorted out, you might want to copy arm9loaderhax.bin to your CTRNAND as a precaution.

Gonna go out on a limb and say you probably have a fake sd card, check it with fake flash tester you could probably get it to boot again by simply formatting and starting again, but if your sd card is a fake it will just happen again

Yeah it's not reading the arm9loaderhax.bin, the easiest things to rule out first would be testing with another sd card first, if it works with another card then try backing up all your files, then reformatting the sd card to fat32 and copying fresh files on (just double check the authenticity while it's freshly formatted still, although most common fakes are sandisk in my experience, although even the most obscure brand can be ripped off too to try sell fake cards)

If it doesn't work with any sd cards (especially if they work on another 3ds) then you may have a fault on the sd slot or something

It could be a fake card, labeled 16GB but actually like 4GB. You could try h2testw (I think that's the name, not really sure) and see what the real capacity is. It could also just be dead.

As I said, just copy the files off, reformat the drive to fat32and check it over with fake flash tester (linked above) and even if it does pass as genuine it could have just been random corruption or the card itself is failing

damn I guess I gotta use an 8gb sd for now:(
Like I said earlier, if you have not already done so, you should copy arm9loaderhax.bin from the root of your SD card to the root of your CTRNAND. With a compatible A9LH install, it can load Luma3DS without an SD card.

Download Godmode9 to your payloads folder in the luma folder and name it something like up_Godmode9.bin. Turn on your 3DS while holding up and navigate to the SD card. Press Y on arm9loaderhax.bin on the root and press b to go back to the main menu. Go into CTRNAND and press y and click "Copy path(s)".

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
