I think the proper command for root directory (your case) is typing just Luma3DS.dat and hit enter. I did that and something worked for me (VC games, got blackscreen instead of error).

I surrender. It's nor working. I found something in the first reply of page 566. I got back to version 5.2 of Luma (just copying the files of that version to my SD and overwriting them)

But nope. Same error again and again. Maybe is the version of the emunand? Which min. version MH4u requires?

What a suffering... D=

Did you put pathchanger without folder to root directory? with that pathchanger.py? I did this that way.

I tried it right now, and nope, it didn't work. This pathchanger programs doesn't take any effect, I don't know why.

If you need any additional information just tell me!

Thanks for helping me guys!

Any help with my problem please? To sum up:

I have my old 3DS with Luma3ds 5.5, launched with HBL. I'm using MenuHax. My Emunand is 9.2.0-20.

I have the following error launching Monster Hunter. A screen appears: "Please press Power button to seicht off the console..."

I tried using pathchanger with Luma3ds.dat, but it doesn't work (in the case I'm doing it correctly...)

I can give you pics if it's needed.

Thank you,

Actually I'm facing the same problem with high ram usage game (Tekken 3D) which means that still I'm having bootloader compatibility issue with Luma3DS. I don't know what do do to make this work. I'm attaching screen with my 3DS root directory. Maybe this will help someone to give us any hint what to do.

If you're on 11.0, you have to get a hardmod or find someone with a 3DS with CFW or arm9loaderhax in order to downgrade and set up Luma3DS. If you just have homebrew, you can't set this up at all until you do the two things I mentioned.
Yeah I figured that out :( Welp no CFW for me then!

If I recall correctly, you shouldn't use the path changer on the .dat if you're using menuhax (in fact, it might break stuff). You just need a fresh copy of the .dat to be in the root directory

I was just thinking this too...if it's in the root directory I don't think you actually NEED the path changer.

I've tried searching but I can't seem to find an answer. I am booting to Luma from menuhax, no a9lh, and want to use NTR for CTGP-7 and my own personal mods. I have put the file from the github into the luma folder but I am still getting the "unkown firm" error when I try to launch it. I am launching it from the cia on homemenu.

Edit: Got a little farther. It does all of the normal patches and seems like it is working, then right at the end it says it failed to open ntr.bin.

Hi! I have installed Luma 3DS and I can't get Wario Ware Touched! working on my 3DS. I have downloaded it from the eShop, and everytime I try to run the game, screens gets black and the main menu music keeps sounding a bit lower. I already tried to install the unpatched AGB and TWL, but the error doesn't get fixed.
Btw, I can play GBA games and also Super Smash Bros. Wario Ware is the only one I cannot play.

Thank you :D
