When launching nds games on o3ds 10.7 sysnand with arm9loaderhax+luma3ds I get a blank black screen. They were working before I installed arm9loaderhax, and retail 3ds games boot. Does arm9loaderhax disable nds functionality? Or is there something broken that can be fixed?

They do work (or at least they're supposed to) on Luma on a9lh, as long as you either have no boot manager before Luma or use the path patcher on Luma.
Not sure if that's understandable, so basically, if your main arm9loaderhax.bin file (the one at the root of your SD card) isn't Luma, you need to patch Luma's arm9loaderhax.bin. See Luma's wiki.

I'm using luma's arm9loaderhax.bin

Just tested other NDS parts on the 3DS (ds wifi settings, ds profile settings) and they all give me the black screen. I'm guessing some file on my NAND is messed up. Which one is it though?

Reinstall stock TWL patches

Do you have the latest hourly build of Luma3DS? That gave me some TWL issues, but I just downloaded an earlier build and that fixed it.

I still have the same issue and could not figure out how to solve it
Luma is on 6.6. tried to upload it but nothing happens when I copied the file boot.firm to SD root
Ive also installed cleantitles AGB and TWL without result

This is an outdated thread. The likelihood is that nothing here is going to be relevant.
Update to B9S https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s and if that doesn't fix it then follow the DS section of https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting
