Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Inkadinkadoo]

You are getting this error due to not having "slot0x25KeyX.bin" on the root of your SD Card

Works now thanks! I feel like an idiot for not figuring that out, I've been awake for 21 hours straight today.

Hi all! All right, so I have everything installed and running, and it's been quite great during the last week. I have installed Luma3ds in Emunand.
Sysnand in 9.2 and Emunand in 11.0.33. It boots directly into Emunand. I did everything through Home menu hack. I can play CIA games, Homebrews and all.
I'm so happy with the current state that I've decided to backup my Emunand, just in case.
To my surprise, EmuNAND9 won't load from Homebrew channel. It will give me a Red bottom screen and just exit to back to HBL.

I've been reading some threads and the problem seems to be that you can't run EmuNAND9 from Emunand. I've tried starting the console in Sysnand by holding L when powering but it just end up in a black screen. EVERY TIME.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

You also have to hold whatever button stops menuhax. When you try to load sysnand, menuhax tries booting and fails.

Thank you! Do you happen to know which is the default button for that? I've tried googling and many threads with no luck.
What do you think could happen if I change the configuration in Luma3ds to boot directly into Sysnand? I says Emunand now.

Regards,

Heya, I've been out for SUCH A long time, and I finally got around to updating aureinand to luma.

And back when I had aureinand, I had no bug type glitch when turning my 3ds, but now that I installed luma, I do. Any way to fix this?. BTW I only installed arm9loaderhax from the all mighty guide and never updated it. Could it be that?.

Gotta catch them all!!! No really what type of "bug type" glitch?

LOL, I meant like how the screen bugged when you used menuhax, it looks like that, like a "Noise" filter, it's at the right side, when I isntalled arm9loaderhax it did not appear at all, but now that I installed it it does, Luma works but that glitch when I power on my new 3ds is annoying.

Here you go shadow bro, I don't know why it does that, and I am well aware it's not harmful but it it is nonetheless annoying. :C

Just ignore it if it only happens on boot

 

[YharnamBadass]

I can, but I know that It wasn't like that before, so it is very annoying for me :C

U can always go back to emunand booting with menuhax or deal with it tbh

Alright, So I figured it out, My version of arm9loaderhax has this little issue with Luma, nothing big, I just need to change it to aurora's arm9loaderhax fork, sooooo, How do I do that safely once I get the latest fork and latest SafeARM9iNSTALLER?

I have some save game files from cia files on GW Emunand, and my save files are on my sd card in .sav format.

If I install this cfw, will my save is it compatiable with this?

Default is L.

 

[Mike Abastante]

Default is L.

Oh, I guess my only option is to switch to Sysnand default and give it a try, because L is the same trigger button to load Sysnand in Luma3ds. That sucks.

EDIT: I've just tried with the option in Luma to boot directly into Sysnand, and keep on getting stucked in that Nintendo 3ds boot screen. Like it tries to boot but it fails and retries.
If I press L I go into Emunand since it's the trigger button. Is there a way to change the trigger button for Menuhax from my PC? Maybe modifying the cfg file?

Can't modify it on the computer since it lacks a config file.

Just look at the guide for installing it, it has a section for updating your a9lh install

For the average Joe, is itworth it to keep Luma3DS Updated to the latest nightly builds, or will the stable releases be enough? Any ETA on the next version past 5.5? Thanks!

Unless there is a specific bug in the stable it's not worth it to use the nightly. Even if the Luma team tries to avoid to commit unstable code, the nightly are not as thoroughly tested as the stable release.
