Congrats on the 7.0 release!

Now, if GW would just update their launcher to work on 11.4, I can finally end that stupid, nagging "please update now!" screen that seems to happen every time I open my 3DS now. :ph34r::yay3ds:

when i try to launch homebrew launcher on luma3ds 7.0, it freezes. Going back to 6.6 until 7.0.1 or 7.1 or what so ever's released.

Can some kind member please explain to me what the difference is and whats so special about the new 7.0 update? I have an N3DSXL but I just wanted to know how it works so great for me mainly this hype about sighax support? I also use GW card but that wont work yet I don't think even with this update? Sorry for being newbish about this question :(

May have been answered already, but I couldn't find anything on it.
My friend has an O3DS XL with Luma3DS ver. 7.0. We both updated together, yesterday.

The problem is, unless he dowgrades to 6.6, DS functionnality is broken for him. He's on 11.3 USA, and launching a DS game, or an R4 flashcart, shuts down the 3DS.
It litterally just turns off. Like I said, it DOES NOT happen on 6.6. He's currelty on 6.6 to maintain DS functionnality. I have a New 3DS, and I don't have that problem.

What could be the problem?

Thanks!

Try the hourly build instead.The homebrew launcher only works on 11.4 with the new 3ds right now I think anyways.

How to use romhacks with 7.0? details please
Do you have the extracted ROMFS files (and code.bin, if included)?

In Luma settings, you can power off your system.

I believe d0k3 added CTRNAND loading support a while back. You have to have the payloads on CTRNAND in the luma/payloads directory.




well i tried doing the luma/payloads thing in CTRnand and it just acted as if there was nothing there so i am wondering if that support for booting payloads from nand other than luma/arm9loaderhax.bin was ever actually implemented ... either that or there is a luma setting i am missing somewhere .... its not too important for me to make this work ... it was more an experiment than anything
Not sure how it's prioritized. You might have to boot with your SD out to make it load off CTR. You might want to ask in the GodMode9 thread.

Wiki needs to be updated.

They actually go in the CTRNAND:/rw/luma/payloads folder, not just NAND:/luma/payloads.

Hi,
How are you supposed to use a romfs with Luma ?

I mean, does it have to be in a "romfs" folder with a specific name or extension, or has it just to be named "romfs" and to be in the titleid folder ?

Thanks !

Do this: Press L+R+A+UP while booting, then press cancel

Did you download the 11.2 payload and rename to 11.4? I did and it works perfect with latest Luma

Homebrew Launcher work with O3ds also as long as you get 11.2 payload and rename to OLD 11.4

Is it possible for Luma to do something about the stupid update nag? Like an option to delete whatever file does that on Emunand?

Anoughter thing I found is if I set up luma 7.0 through ctrbootmanager it boots right off when I run my r4 card or a injected game.Mabe it's because I'm still on 11.3 or I'm using a old version of ctrbootmanager.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
