Hacking Luma3DS, can't go to EmuNand

[wow06]

Hello,

I just followed this guide : https://plailect.github.io/Guide/homebrew-launcher-(browser) and i have installed Lums3DS with arm9loaderhax. All things work, but i can't switch to EmuNAND. When i go to System and Settings i always have "Sys 9.2.0". I have checked and uncheck some options in Luma settings but i still have the problem.

Thanks for your help

...Have you an emunand on the sd card (created with emunand9)?
Try to press the L button and power on the 3ds.

The problem is that i cannot update my Sysnand to 11.2 and i need it to play to a game.

I will create emunand with Emunand9, thank you.

Or i can update my sysnand to 11.2 without problem ?

If you have installed a9lh, system updates are safe.

 

[wow06]

Yes, and i will be able to use Gateway 3ds even if i update system with a9lh ?

1. Luma3DS is the name of a CFW. So it will patch the system to add great features (https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Options-and-usage) such as signature check disabled (homebrews on the home menu), region free, enable n3ds clock, etc
2. A9LH is an arm9 exploit that occurs during boot (~1s after you power on the 3ds). It permits to execute arm9 code early, so you can directly boot a cfw (like luma3ds), and directly patch the sysnand, (no more emunand needed!).

 

[wow06]

So if i have Luma3DS installed with A9LH i dont need emunand ?

Indeed, with arm9loaderhax, you directly use the CFW sysnand updated to 11.2

So if someone has Gateway, they can get a CFW right? or is it an alternative to gateway

It's a free alternative to gateway. But you can keep gateway and use a CFW https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/
edit: to use a gateway, you need a exploitable fw, so yep, gateway users can get free cfw

Is there a higher chance of bricking? I need to get the HBC still for my Gateway N3DS, I just dont know if theres much point atm unless I can get loads of homebrew

hows the 3ds homebrew community doing atm

if you follow the guide correctly https://plailect.github.io/Guide/
Nope, you will not brick.

I like how Luma 3DS doesn't use Gateway, how much storage would the average Luma3DS user have if they didnt use Gateway

2nd, What can you get on Luma that you can't get with Gateway

I hate tempering with SysNAND but this sounds tempting
