You aren't missing anything per say. I'm assuming your 3DS is a New 3DS who's region is Europe? And you're on system version 11.3? Did you do either what gold_lightning described? Did you ever check your SD card per quantum_kitty's advice?

Gerbil's a nice guy as well. Super soft fur and definitely won't Rick Roll you.
Yes, it's N3DS ver 11.3 E.
I didn't understand what gold_lightning described? Did ask him but no answear yet.
Did test my SD card before (so format to FAT32 etc...) But haven't done after finished installed A9LH & Luma. Have tried with 4GB sd but not enough, needed a bigger memory.

What title are you trying to load, and how are you loading it? HOME Menu? FBI? Some other launcher?

Yes, from home menu >homebrew

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

OrGoN3 specifically said the hblauncher folder.
From Sd >hblauncherloader>NEW-11-3-0-36-EUR.bin
Only files in hblauncherloader is NEW11.3E.bi

When launch hblauncher sometimes ok, sometimes program run but got black screen

SD card isn't loose? Really sounds like an SD card issue. And you're on system menu 11.3, you didn't update to 11.4, right?
 
OrGoN3: re-run homebrew launcher via FBI?


Did you switch to a new SD card yet? If not it'll be the same reply over and over again. If you did, make sure that hblauncher folder has the proper payload for the system menu version you are on. This should download automatically if you are on WiFi and start up the homebrew launcher. If you are unsure, delete whatever payload is in hblauncher folder, then run the homebrew launcher again while connected to WiFi. It'll download the correct payload.

If you are on an Original 3DS and system version 11.4, there is no payload for homebrew yet. You'll have to wait.
 
Here from this

Sorry, what? You're trying to run a retail 3DS game through the Homebrew Launcher?

You also didn't mention exactly *which* game you're trying to run, how you installed it, or any other details. It's almost as if you just want to complain and don't want anyone to help you fix this.

Here is exactly what information we need to figure out what you're doing wrong:
  • What game are you trying to load?
  • What program are you trying to use to load it? (HOME Menu, FBI, etc.)
  • You have A9LH installed. Why are you trying to run a retail game using Homebrew Launcher instead of doing the obvious thing and selecting the game from the HOME Menu?
If you reply with something stupid like "Yes I tried running the game", no one will be able to help you.

No, just that some problem with hblauncher as sometimes it's run ok & sometimes program run but black screen
...so you only have a problem with hblauncher, but your first post says "The problem is when start to play & error "the SD card was removed"!!", implying you have a problem running games.

Also re-read my previous post, I added some more stuff to it.

As Soft Fluffy Gerbil mentioned, you have to give us more information as to what is wrong and what works. Did you try what I mentioned? Deleting the .bin file under hblauncher, connecting to WiFi and then starting the homebrew launcher from the home menu? Does it fix your issue?

If you answer this please answer GerbilSoft as well.

Ok. Back to the beginning
Yesterday I install A9LH & Luma via 3dsguide on N3DS ver 11.3
After done, all homebrew , FBI ect.. perfect.
Install freeShop, then download some Mario games via freeShop.
When download games from freeshop, then "Home menu theme" have " !" . So mean Updated. Then I did updated Home menu Theme.

Then this happens:

Start games ok, play around couple of minutes then error: SD card removed. (Of course no SD card removed)
Since then, hblauncher playing up as well.
When launch hblauncher from home menu sometime its run & displayed all contains , sometime the program run then black screen

What do you mean by the line that I bolded and underlined?

Still sounds like a faulty SD card. Still recommending you copy contents to a computer and check it with h2testw.

He downloaded all of the Home Menu themes on freeShop is what he meant by that.

If that were the case, he downloaded over 250 themes, and the 3DS home menu can only support 100 themes. Once you have more than 100 themes installed, before you boot into the home menu, a little GUI is shown asking which themes you want to delete. IIRC you have to delete them one by one, no batch deleting. However, for OP, this doesn't seem to be the case. This is why I'm confused.

Edit: Yes when I first got FreeShop installed I downloaded all the themes and ran into this scenario.

How do you fixed yours?
Here how it looked.
Didn't get any notice to delete
(Oh just remember that when it's downloaded home menu theme & I went to bed, my daughter might saw her 3DS still on & she might turn off)
