Well to begin with, indent your code or else nobody will understand anything.
As for the code itself, you're doing some weird shit with the screen functions.
The order should be like this:

Screen.waitVblankStart()
Screen.refresh()
Screen.clear(TOP_SCREEN)
Screen.clear(BOTTOM_SCREEN)
--Print/draw stuff
Screen.flip()

Haha, I guess I should have. Sorry about that.

I guess I'm blind because I don't see where I went wrong on the screen functions. That's what I did with my menu (the homebrew menu part). Are you talking about the y == * parts?

No, I mean there are lots of clean()s and whatnots. There should be just 2 at the beginning of the loop (one for top screen, the other for bottom screen) along with the waitforvblank and refresh or whatever, then just the flip() at the end of the loop.
Oh also, variable naming conventions 101: capitalize the first letter on words on variables, except for the first word, i.e. when you have "topscreenimg" make it "topScreenImg". It's another thing that helps readablity, just like indentation.

I see. I will fix my code up a bit and see if that works. Thanks!

Doesn't work. I got rid of the other stuff and put the Screen.flip() at the end of the loop and the other elements at the start.

The central hub for all your 3DS homebrew needs!
IMPORTANT: it is NOT possible to install CIA files above system menu version 9.2! That also includes all ninjhax2/tubehax/ironhax users.
There is a List of 3DS Homebrew in the wiki. Please help maintain it.

 

[Elveman]

stuff about 9.2

jk jk jk

[Megalegacy98]

So is anyone gonna help me on this? I got it to work before, and I added elements before and was able to fix it but I forgot how to...

Yeah you right, i was in a hurry cause i was cooking for the launch so i asnwered first question i seen without overchecking the entirety of the post, my bad

@Megalegacy98 can you ident your code? It's a bit hard to give support for hard-reading codes.

 

[Megalegacy98]

fixed (i think)

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Not at all but it's much more readable. What's the problem you encountered? (P.s., instead of 0-1 values like C, LUA accepts also boolean values but in reality they are equal. I prefer boolean ones to make my codes cleaner)

I didn't say my problem was fixed lol. The problem is nothing shows up in the screen.

 

[Megalegacy98]

Stupid me, I forgot that I had no image, no wonder nothing came up...
got rid of the theme code, worked fine. It works now, thanks for the help guys.
