Hello. I am a beginner when it comes to 3ds hacking. I am trying to randomize Pokemon Moon and I am following this guide:


I made the SaltySD folder and pasted the correct files. Downloaded the code_sections folder and placed in the luma folder on my SDroot. Loaded Pokemon Moon and did not find it randomized
Note:
The youtuber's luma3ds home screen has one thing that is different to mine. I have "Enable game patching" instead of "Enable region/language emu. and ext."
Also, it says I need and archives patch for that option. I have a feeling that's the problem.
Thank you in advance.

I'm stuck?
I got here: https://3ds.guide/get-started-(old-3ds)
Choose Decrypt9: https://3ds.guide/decrypt9-(mset)
And where instruction for Luma emunand?
I don't want downgrade or install arm9loaderhax, i need only emunand cfw switch
Cant find any launcher.dat and files that Luma required for booting in emunand
The restore part is almost at the end of the guide.
That guide is the recomended guide all people follows nowadays,
but you can probably try luma and see if you like it just following the steps in Luma's repository

Thanks, would try it:yaynds:
Well, i would do it in future. But it would be 1 or 2 years before i do it :)
... Wait, on any 3ds can be installed Luma???
Because i think to get N3ds xl in future, but not read info what version i need and how to choose it right for N3ds xl
[CFW can be easily set up on any console that is on 11.2.0 (latest) or lower.]

At this moment, you can install Luma on any 3ds regardless of model and version

Hello, I have a japanese New 3DS with arm9loader and luma in their last version, and I have trouble to force English language for some games (Luigi's Mansion, Mario Tennis, Mario Maker...)

I have the EUR CIAs installed, I "Enable game patching" in luma's boot, and I selected regions and language in LumaLocaleSwitcher. It's not working, no matter what I always end up with japanese language in these games.

I saw someone posting this on github: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/issues/313

His advice is to rollback to Luma 6.5, do you think it would help? If yes, how to do it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx!

This happens to me as well with the latest hourly build (trying to put SMM in portuguese). Also, code.bin patches doesn't work. An temporary solution was to "downgrade" luma to 6.6.
EDIT: I also tried to delete luma's files and start with a fresh config and it doesn't worked anyway.

So you succefully selected language by downgrading to 6.6? Which version exactly and how to do it? (i'm a noob and I'm afraid to break everything...) thx

When i go in settings and choose profile console freeze without anything new appearing on screen
1. I download and put in root:
arm9loaderhax.bin
Luma3DS.dat
luma\firmware.bin
luma\cetk
2. MSET for NDS cart
3. Then boot mset in nds choose 4.x
4. Go to settings->profile

    @Xdqwerty HM...

    If the cat girl leaves, my kokoro dies a little.

    If I piss off the cat grill friend, I get no food and he's likely to grill me.

    There's just no winning here 😂

    @RedColoredStars, Never heard of it. Any good?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.

    So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.
