So I haven't played my 3ds in a long time, I wanted to play my backed up cia's and they all worked fine, but one of them had an updated and I couldn't get the update until I updated my system, So I downloaded the lastest Reinand, put the files on my root sd. Launched into Reinand and to system settings and did a system update. Now the system launches into Reinand fine still but when I go to play a game my system just locks up.

Did I do something wrong?

You most likely just need to update to the latest version of ReiNAND from the repo. Are you running on sysNAND or emuNAND and what is OFW of the NAND you are running on?
Edit: Everyone is going to tell you to switch Luma3DS, you don't have to do that, so don't be pressured into doing so if you want to keep using reiNAND.

I downloaded ReiNand v5.1 and replaced all my old Reinand files which were pretty old. Reinand is on emuNAND and I just updated it. sysNand is running OFW 9.2.0-20U

What are the benefits to Luma3ds? Does it give me the ability to use dlc without it getting uninstalled everytime I check out the eshop?

Yes, you messed up. You are using ReiNAND in 2017. Luma3DS is what the cool kids use now. It's previous name was AuReiNAND, a fork or ReiNAND. https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases . Newest feature: built-in LayeredFS/RomFS support.

Edit: Also, what was your entry point for ReiNAND? Is your system A9LH'd? Is it O3DS or N3DS? Did you update to 11.4?

Are you using MenuHAX or A9LH? And interestingly enough my DLC seems to be fine after entering the eShop with ReiNAND (which is what I am running now.)
And you can actually check out all of the features for all CFWs in my sticky

Because there's more than just Luma3DS and ReiNAND

There is no reason to push Luma3DS when ReiNAND is still being actively worked on.

New 3ds and using Menu hax I believe, the purple screen which allows me to choose Reinand pops up on boot. So it must be because it's A9LH based now and my system wasn't configured for that, how can I go about doing that?

Use luma3ds and it will work again
Please actually help the user instead of spamming Luma3DS. You aren't helping your cause, you are just creating resentment from devs.

I see a lot of people talking about purple screen, but not a lot of people talking about fixing the issue. Most of the older guides just suggest re-doing the menuHAX install or checking the payloads.
ReiNAND isn't completely A9LH, but I am going to suggest updating A9LH. You just need to follow this guide to setting up A9LH. The guide suggest Luma3DS, but you don't have to use that. Just going to to the ReiNAND thread and downloading the latest ReiNAND will work as well.

You complain about people not helping others, and then offer something that is impossible. Buddy, this isn't going to be possible. OP is on 11.4 and has no A9LH on his system thus far. You can't downgrade from 11.4 so OP can never load up 2.1 to get his OTP (and I don't recommend OP attempting OTPLess).

The ONLY thing OP can do with his system right now is run NinjaHax or doodlebomb. But I'm pretty sure either will only get you userland access.

To my knowledge, OP cannot undo what he did and cannot continue to use "CFW" unless OP did A9LH. Based on what OP said, he didn't.

Why you no read thread before dumping on me?

Because I never learned how to read!!! Please do not tease me for it :(
And to add to my post, I am not upset that people are suggesting Luma3DS. It's that ReiNAND is still an active project, with 2 active devs and an active tester behind the project. There's no reason to spam the OP with, "Just use Luma3DS" when reiNAND is still an active project. If this were a few months months ago, I would have suggested a new CFW, but that's not the case.
I am only suggesting A9LH for one simple reason, the error they are getting suggest re-installing MenuHAX. If one were to go through the process of re-doing Menuhax, they might as well install A9LH instead. I mean you are already working on the system, you might as well spend the extra minute doing an upgrade. Of course the OP can just re-install MenuHAX if they want

Oh you're one of those that just links the guide to any problem?

Here's my solution for you: https://3ds.guide/

But seriously, if you're not going to help people with their issues. Just leave the thread alone.

Seriously? First off, read the entire thread before posting, as you clearly did not. Second, I never linked to the guide. Third, I'm clearly joking and missed the one post where OP mentioned he updated emunand and not sysnand like he makes it seem like in the OP. Fourth, seriously?

Yeah, OP deffo should be A9LH'd at this point. Luma3DS still has more active development than ReiNAND, providing more new features more quickly and maintenance more often. On top of that, since it is the most widely used "CFW", more people potentially can help OP in the future. I'm not against using other CFW, I'm just for recommending the most actively developed, widely used, and most feature-rich "CFW" for those who don't know 100% what they are doing.

Oh, I did read the thread. Not once did I feel you were trying to help OP.

You told them in your first post that they messed up. Why? I don't know why you said this. I mean, do you even know what entrypoint they were using and how it works? No, you probably didn't. So telling them they messed up was completely uncalled for. Asking for more information and if you knew how to troubleshoot it was the way to go. Which isn't what you were doing. Instead you were "All the cool kids are on Luma3DS"

If you want to point someone to Luma3DS. You tell them about it, and explain why they should be moving to it.

Anyways, I am done with this thread and hope OP finds a solution to their problem.

So since you read the thread you read when I asked OP if they were A9LH'd in the exact post you mention.

I'm sorry if you cannot determine what is humor and what is serious. Also, I don't care how you felt. I know what transpired and to me, that's all that matters. But thanks for pointing that out while offering nothing new to OP.

Not everyone likes that though. Personally if I am not running Corbenik, I am running ReiNAND instead because it's clean and simple and has the patches I want/need. It's not to say Luma3DS is bad, but it has far more options I don't use to warrant me using it. This is also why I use Corbenik because even though it has those options, I can just straight up remove/disable them.

Now I really don't want to turn this thread into a this CFW war, so I am going to leave my comments to the suggestion I gave above. Of course the OP still has the option to do a clean install of Menuhax as well. But I am going to send the OP a quick PM to test something.
