This is normal. It has to reboot to the DSi firmware to play a DS game. If it reboots but doesn't launch the DS game, then I suspect something is wrong with your Luma payload, the DSi firmware on your 3DS or your cart. (Edit - or your A9LH payload).

It didn't launch the game. What should I do ?

I would suggest updating your Luma payload to the latest version. Also, what A9LH payload are you using? (the one installed with SafeA9LHInstaller).

I don't know. I such a noob for these things. Sorry for that.
In fact, I use a tuto to install CTRboot and RXtools. after that, I upgraded my RX with luma (with the tuto on the forum) to play ds games. It worked but the region free didn't work so I upgraded again my luma to the last version and now starting a DS game reboot my console and dont load the game.
That's the all story.

So did the problem start immediately after you updated Luma? And what version of Luma are you using now? You can find that out by holding select while powering on your 3ds to get into the Luma setup menu.

IIRC Dsiware games need to be installed on both sysnand and Emunand for it to work on Emunand. Sounds like you have an Emunand.

It's a DS game, not dsiware. Therefore on cart, not installed to NAND.

Yes, it's a card not a digital game.
Ans yes, it's when I updated luma. My version right now is 6.2.3

Thanks @itsRyan - I didn't know about that part of the guide.

@Cortexfou
If that doesn't work, try reverting to a previous version of Luma in case this is a bug or incompatibility in 6.2.3.

I tried the @itsRyan thing but it doesn't work, I tried to use my old luma files (I made a backup), doesn't work. I downloaded the version 6.3 of luma and now it work. Strange, I don't know what was the problem but now it work. Thanks you so much for your help.

Perhaps an incompatibility with a config file between versions or something? If you want to be sure, you could rename your luma folder and install the latest stable release. Then re-test. If it works the probably something in the old luma folder was causing the problem. You always have the option to go back to the previous luma folder if it's no different.

i can run DS Games just fine on teh latest commit. retail and flashcart even the DsiHB Menu, Make sure you keep your paths set properly in /luma/path.txt if your using a bootloader to load luma.
