Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

Sorry 03ds

I have an USA cia of Rythm Heaven Megamix on an EUR N3DS that only boots with "Enable region/language emulation and external .code" and the .txt file inside the locales folder, if i update to the latest hourly release of luma it doesnt work anymore, is it something known to be broken?
The option to do that in the latest hourly It's called just "Enable game patching" and it also hints at custom romfs, so did something changed and i need to do something else to make it work?
i'm on 11.2 BTW

Nightlies have issues with some titles like the one you mention and others too and is a kinda a hit and miss situation with the region/language setting for some games, as I personally don't use hourly builds since they are for testing and not general use.

I use a Japanese n3ds and rely on region/language emulation a lot, since most titles will default to japanese text, without this feature. Tbh, stay were you are on 11.2 and wait for a 6.7 official release, as I'm currently on 11.3/luma 6.6 and staying there for now.

Do anyone know a way to protect/avoid from boot the luma menu, when the 2ds is for a kid?
I don't want him to do something not wanted.
Just install cia and that's all.

Put a password on it. Boot the Luma menu and put a pass key on it. The kid will then have to ask you for the password to use the 3ds.

When is luma 6.7 going to come out as I use the nightly to get everything working but now SaltySD does not work now.

After retruning from ds game cart the system reboots with the latset luma the previous versions didn't do this. I have no clue what version I was no it was before a9lh I know that much forsure.

Good job on reading the reply he got. The problem he had is that the folder structure changed from Stable luma to nightly and he had to move some files.

Hey there.

i was wondering , is the romfs redirection function for Luma3DS incompatible with some games?

I just tested this with Mario Golf World Tour and Mario Sports Superstars and it works , but the game doesn't load with Mario Party Star Rush and Mario Kart 7.

Is it because incompatibility or because the romfs file is corrupt?

Assuming you have a9lh and the latest nightly Luma, use the 11.2 payload and rename it for 11.4. It should work.

That's the only way that I know that can block the Luma menu lol. I'm sure there is the kecleon patch for luma which helps hide the Luma menu.

FYI, new posts by other users do not show up automatically when one user is currently making a post, so in affect, do not get seen. And anyway, what difference does it make, as what I said is true.

if you have homebrew CIA, Press and hold X button to download the latest update.

 

[wiiuser2]

hmmm, my son accidentally upgraded the emunand to 11.4. I updated luma to the latest nightly. O3DS boots fine now with emunand but Pokémon Sun and Moon gives a black screen. Is this still work in progress or do I need to make other changes as well? Have been away for awhile .

Sorry Homebrew cia what do you mean?

 

[Mr_Waffles]

Sorry Homebrew cia what do you mean?

Meaning if you have access to HBL from the home menu and not through a second entry point such as oothax etc

O3ds I think you rename it and n3ds just download the ropbin from the website and put it in HBLAUNCHER menu on the sd card. But I'm sure the o3ds the HBLAUNCHER doesn't work and you'll have to wait for @smealum to update it all.
