other than hourglass9 and emunand9, are there any other payloads i should set up for a9lh/luma?

decrypt9

I just have Decrypt9, Safemode9 and Uncart. My understanding is that Hourglass9's featureset overlaps with Decrypt9 anyway, and Emunand9 isn't particularly useful if you don't intend to use an EmuNAND anyway.

if thats why u dont have some you should ditch uncart as decrypt9 has cart dumping now

Uncart is now unnecessary? To be honest I don't even use it as I mainly use my 3DS for homebrew, I just like to have it for 'completeness'.

 

[Clydefrosch]

is there a .bin file that would boot me into homebrewloader too?
i mean, i know its just a few extra seconds going through the cia, but if its possible, id like that


also, using lumaupdater, i keep getting the message there's no config file and it cant read the current luma version for some reason? i updated twice and it still tells me theres a new stable version. normal or fixable?

When I updated using luma3ds updater application from 5.5 to 6.0.1 the updater only shows "red " as the installed version instead of 6.0.1 is this normal?

Decrypt9 dumps game cards encrypted + decrypted ".3ds", and to decrypted CIA. it replaces uncart entirely.

Got the same problem after this update

Same here

LumaUpdate is doing something weird then and it definitely is not normal, as starupdater doesn't have this issue.

Thank God I backed up my sd card before messing around with the update what I will do is restore my payload back to 5.5 and install starupdater and will try to update it from there. Thanks for the reply.

checking for am:u ...
did not get am:u handle!

This is why I have when I try to downgrade using sysdowngrader, any help ? 10.5, using hbl via browser

 

[ihaveahax]

using hbl via browser

install a secondary exploit (menuhax?) and use sysDowngrader from there.

But this is the problem, when I try to start menu hax using D-PAD DOWN (as in the new guide) nothing happen during the boot

you need to install it and configure that. the default is holding L.

thats because star is the best

Because of the arm9loaderhax.bin file you are using, You replaced the luma file with the anim9 file to load animations. So when the updater tries to read that file it doesn't detect luma, it won't tell you the version you have installed. The updater checks that specific file and replaces it with a updated version if you press install.

You have to manually move the luma CFW file to the anim folder and replace it with "Arm9payload.bin" by renaming the updated luma file.

The bootanim9 loads before loading luma.

If you want less trouble with this, you can Replace the file from luma in the root of the sd card, then put the file from bootanim9 in the luma payload and then set it up like the other files (Example decrypt9 requires X button on boot to load) So then luma updater won't interfere with the bootanim9 at all, but you need to remember to hold the button to trigger the boot animation

I updated my Luma3DS with Hamcha's lumaupdate 1.4.1. After restarting and going back into lumaupdate, it does not show my Luma version number or my backup version number. It also tells me there is a newer version, even though I'm already on 6.1. This has actually been happening for the last few versions.

And no, I do not use BootAnim9 or an alternative chainloader. Just basic Luma3DS main/stable.
