Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

Will this thing ever get updated or should i just move to the hourly builds from Luma updater?

SOON™. Once in a while we get a broken hourly, but it's been stable most of the time. I think most people just use the hourly.

Hourlies are good. I've been using them since November when the redirection changed. I update semi-regularly and have had zero issues.

Just did it. Felt a bit alien to me because of a few new things and realizing that game patching does everything that language emu does and more. Hope i didnt pick anything out of place tho

Is there anything in particular that I should take into consideration when updating from 6.7 to the latest hourly?

There is no 6.7. That's why everyone's updating to hourly. The path for things changed.

Added RomFS redirection courtesy of @delebile, changed structure for game patches:
language emulation txts now go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/locale.txt, code.bins go to
/luma/titles/<titleid>/code.bin, RomFSes go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/romfs

EVERYONE? Well, I guess I'll not then. I'm afraid of BRICC. 6.6 never gives me problems anyways.

I haven't switched yet either, for reasons even I'm not even sure of.

Hi all, I haven't used my 3DS in a long time and the luma updater launcher seems to be broken? It crashes upon boot. How do I update and reinstall it manually? Thanks

Stable: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases
Hourly: http://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/
Get it, put arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of your SD card. Overwrite what's there. This is if you have a9lh.
If not: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Installation-and-Upgrade

@Aurora Wright
Can you please tell me if is it possible/safe to update sysnand through arm9loaderhax+ luma 6.6 with sysupdater?Because I'm having problems to update via system update.

I remeber that rxTools 3.0 had something about "firmlaunch" (patch active), which bricks the 3ds if you try to update sysnand with boot rx in sysnand mode, we had to use "devmode" option to update , actually I did this one time and worked fine, just need to know about luma.

Thank you.

Hello,
I currently trying to solve a problem with NDS Files, since after I implied arm9loaderhax+ luma, I can´t get to run ant ds app. I have followed this thread, in a hope to solve it
https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...stalled-a-patched-agbtwl-firm-cia-in-the-past
But after step 6, my 3ds gets a black screen and a "svcBreak" from ErrDisp
Can someone help me
Thanks

Can I update from latest stable to nightly and not lose anything (dlc, games, save files)? Like I know they won't get deleted but I hate having to move stuff around cuz the title id's as folder names is aggravating lol

Yeah, you won't lose anything, but you'll have to move bunch of stuff if you use patching or language emulation.

 

[huffmybrd]

Na no patches or anything like that that I know of. It's my son's 3ds and all I set up for him was freeshop for his games and dlc.
