Hello, on my emunand there is no "emu" before version in system settings, but I'm 100% sure I'm on emunand and my sysnand is 9.2. Is it normal ?

Hello, on my emunand there is no "emu" before version in system settings, but I'm 100% sure I'm on emunand and my sysnand is 9.2. Is it normal ?

Press select when you boot Luma and tick "show version in system settings". Then go to settings, and if it says "emu" then update.

Help!

I got to section 3 on part 5 configuring Luma3DS

https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-5-(arm9loaderhax)

I don't get the right options and it even shows as New 3DS I think while I am doing a 2DS because I see clock options.

whatever I do after I try to save

"An error has ocurred

An old unsupported FIRM has been detected
Copy firmware.bin in /luma to boot

press any button to shut down"

Try Luma 5.2 which seems the most stable. The settings might not look right because the guide hasn't been updated properly for Luma 6.0.

There is an update available for Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX, but I apparently need to perform a system update to download it, even though I'm already on 11.0.0-33U with A9LH and the latest version of Luma CFW.

Is it safe to update either the game or the firmware? I've heard that accessing the eShop deletes DLCs, but I'm not sure whether downloading an update directly counts.

OK, this is frustrating. As you all may remember from a couple pages ago, I'm installing a9lh on a console. I'm having an issue with SafeA9LHInstaller now.
Every time I attempt to install a9lh, I'm greeted with the following error in red:
Error: secret_sector.bin doesn't exist or has a wrong size
@Wolfvak told me this was an issue with the download. However, it appears to not be, as I downloaded it on 5 separate occasions now and:
-The first time, it gives the error.
-2 of the times it gives the glitched screen error. As I'd like to see what I'm doing, I press any button to turn it off.
-1 time I try again, and it gives the error.
-At this point I wonder if it's the version I'm using, and try version 2.0.1, instead of 2.0.3. It gives the same error.
I'm at a loss. I hate computers

freeShop
encTitleKeys.bin-Updater

You need both to run freeShop. Install both and then run the encTitleKeys.bin-Updater first. It'll download the file needed and then autoboot you to freeShop.

Hello everyone! I don't know if this is the right topic to post into, but I need a favor if anyone could help me. I have a 3ds xl with 11.0.0-33E, and I want to install homebrew. I did look at some sites including the "official" homebrew one but as I am new to this whole process and also don't understand anything from programming, I had absolutely no clue on what I was reading. I need to install homebrew so to run a save editor. I'd be really glad if anyone could help me out. Thank you in advance!

If you only need to access the Homebrew Menu just follow this part of the major guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(Homebrew)
PS: since you are on the latest firmware, you don't need to change the date of your 3DS, so steps from 3 to 6 are useless for you

So with this I can then download and use the save editors I want? Sorry if my questions seem dumb, but as I said I am clueless, treat me like a total imbecile.

Yes, that guide will install on your 3DS a way to access the Homebrew Menu, and from it you will be able to launch apps like this save editor for Pokèmon games, for example

Okay, thanks a lot for your time, friend! Finally I might be able to work on MHGen now :3 thank you once again!

I have luma and arm9. Can I install ntr cfw without losing luma?

Yes. NTR isn't really a custom firmware, despite its name.

Hey guys, hi! I'm kinda new here. I have a old 3DS with the 10.6 firmware and I want to install a custom firmware in it but I can't find it clear if it is possible or not. I looked for it in the FAQ and in some threads but still I would really want some clarification, please. Is it possible to do it? Using which methods? There is some "noob-proof guide" that is safe for me to follow? Thank you very much and sorry for the bad english, it is not my primary language. Thank you!

Hey!
Seeing as you're on 10.6, you can downgrade to 9.2 just fine and install CFW.
If you have a working browser, you can start right here: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(Homebrew) and continue all the way to part 5 for the best entry point (arm9loaderhax) and Luma3DS as CFW.

Oh, thank you guys for the fast answer! Let me see... A working browser would be being able to use the browser to access web pages, right? If that is the case, mine "isn't working", since it always asks me to update the console if I try to use it (I just tested it again searching for "hello" in the 3ds web browser). Is that the only way? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

Go to the system settings and change time and date to January 1st 2000 at 0:00. After that, go to browser and then the wrench icon, and initalize save data, then go back to browser, and go to browserhax as fast as you can. Note that when it reachs January 2nd, you must do it the whole process again. For more info, go to http://smealum.github.io/3ds

I've been having an issue with TinyFormat. Every time I use it to format a nand (emu or sys), I am unable to boot into it and am left with a black screen. I've tried deleting the config to Luma3ds, and restoring nand backups, but nothing seems to fix this issue. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

Well, that did the trick! The browser is now working fine again, thank you! I will read these links that you guys sent me and any other question I will come here. Thank you guys very much!

Try Luma 5.2 which seems the most stable. The settings might not look right because the guide hasn't been updated properly for Luma 6.0.

Thanks, I thought I was bricked. I tried 5.5 which I had successfully used before. I thought following the guide up to the minute would be the best. The version in the guide now doesn't work for me.
