My top image gets distorted for some reason.

Make sure the images are 400x240 for TOP and 320x240 for BOT and that Rotate 90* is checked.

Both for new and old 3DS?

Yes.

Both for new and old 3DS?

Yes, and 800x240 top in 3D (two images) I believe

Wasn't this for menuhax boot(menuhax booting? lol) splashes only?

Oh true, my bad, sorry I forgot it

I have been forced into a life of slavery this is my life now. Also people wanted a bottom splash

Here's these in premade .bins for ease of use, I cropped the top one down to size, anchored at bottom right to keep the '3ds' luma in.

Is there a way to hold the splash screens for longer? I've tried screen-init but it doesn't hold it. There was a cool Famicom Disk System 'loading' splash but it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me when it was open for a second tops.

+1 I'd like to know as well

What do you mean by "You MUST copy the luma (green) folder to the root of your SD." Can someone help me, I'm trying to setup RedNand and I don't know what to do

Download the latest release of Luma. Within that zip, you're gonna see a Luma folder, place it on your SD card.

Copy and paste that luma folder into your SD card or drag it to your 3ds SD card when connected into the computer. The root is where you have all the files without folders.

"Luma3DSv5.2" to the root of the SD card right?

Luma is yellow in original games

Use WinRAR to extract the files inside that one and then you will have the folder and the other files you need to put inside.

Found the problem I wasn't using winrar, I was actually using another app but it didn't read the luma folder

actually lumas are a multitude of colours in the original games.

Also for people wanting to downscale the logo i actually did 2 versions 1 without the outline

as far as I know it's already exist with bootmanager mod. But I forgot the name. sorry.

As in a mod of the Luma payload loader or a mod of a different bootmanager? I'd prefer to avoid switching to a new bootmanager.

Remove all payloads in the luma/payloads folder, and comment out the select button thing... (maybe replace https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/blob/master/source/buttons.h#l16 by "#define BUTTON_SELECT (1 << 3)"? That way: impossible to access config menu.

That's not really a solution because that would require me to add those files back/replace arm9loaderhax.bin if ever I needed one of the payloads (or needed to access the settings) which is just ridiculously inconvenient.

I have a US 3DS and I have a friend with a Japanese one. I'd like to play MK7 wirelessly with her, so I gave her a US cia and put a file in the locale folder forcing USA EN. Unfortunately the Japanese 3DS always says there's some error when she tries to connect wirelessly.

Is there a solution, or is this basically a lost cause?
