Hi, Im trying to switch from rxTools to Luma, but dunno what I have to do exactly.

Right now I have sysnand on 4.5.0-8E and emunand on RX3D 11.2.0-35E. I use the NDS profile menu hack to get into rxTools.

From this point, what should I do? I've tried this: http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-updating-from-rxtools-to-luma3ds.427735/

and something here: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Installation-and-upgrade

and got nothing. My rxTools just keep regenerating missing files and that's all.

I hope you can help me with this :/

I'm not sure tu fully understand this:
Full CTRNAND support: if the SD card is missing, you can boot Luma from CTRNAND with a compatible A9LH install. On CTRNAND, the luma folder is located in /rw and can be managed with tools like FBI and GodMode9. The EmuNAND options will also be automatically hidden.

Do we nedd to re-install a9lh using SafeA9LHInstaller? OR just moving the folder is ok?
If we move the luma folder to the nand, what about the arm9loaderhax.bin, in the sd root?

Edit: Solved, using this : https://plailect.github.io/Guide/updating-a9lh

If you have rxtools 3, try replacing /rxtools/sys/code.bin with a renamed luma3ds.dat (the regular menuhax+bootmanager version, not the "mset" version which sounds gateway encrypted)

Hello, everyone. I'm kind of new so please be kind to my ignorance.
I changed my region using Plailect's guide (https://plailect.github.io/Guide/region-changing) from KOR to USA in attempt to play GBA VC injected games.
After that, when I try to open games with extended ram (Smash Bros and Monster Hunter) , it goes to endless black screen.

I'm not sure I'm using any boot managers but I tried setting up custom path, it still doesn't work.
I tried downgrading Luma3ds to 6.3.1 and installed clean TWL_FIRM and AGB_FIRM then upgraded to 6.5.
I tried setting my EULA settings to ff.ff.

I'm on O3DS XL with Sysnand 11.2.0-35U, A9LH and Luma.
Thanks in advance!

Does DS mode work? You can easily test by going into Download Play -> Nintendo DS.
If it doesn't, turn Developer Options to Errdisp in Luma config, and make a picture of the error screen that appears when you launch an extended memory game/DS game.

DS mode does not work - it's a black screen. (GBA mode seems to work)
DS mode didn't produced an error screen, however launching Smash Bros did. I attached the picture.

Trying to get high power games such as Smash, Monster Hunter, etc.. to start working. I've tried custom path in three different directories and that still has not done anything. Any idea?

Need help please.

When I select to get into Luma3ds.. it boots into Reinand

Anyone no why this is happening?

EDIT*: Do I need to delete Reinand file off SD card to avoid this?

Hello, I wanna try to install Luma3ds on my Old 3DS 9.9.0-26E i use IronFall game to enter Homebrew launcher, after read the installation page on github and watching random tutorial on youtube I never found anything clear about what to do in my case.
Is there anything I'm missing or is impossible to install for me? Take note I have no idea about this kind of stuff I usually just run homebrew applications as much.

please don't use video guides. https://plailect.github.io/Guide/ should be the only guide to use. in your case, you can use https://plailect.github.io/Guide/homebrew-launcher-(browser)
