Hello,

my old m3simply doesnt want to work in my n3dsxl luma+a9hl 11.4
(the power off messages apears the moment i click on the cart icon. twl slot 1 launcher just gives a black screen)

So i guess i have to buy another one.

Any advice? (R4i RTS Gold 3 DS Revolution ?)
And maybe no dstwo, i dont want to pay 50 bucks... ^^

thanks in advance :)

This one: http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=149

But it's likely possible to get your M3 Simply working.
Try this (Use the one for "Original R4" as the R4 and M3 Simply are identical): https://gbatemp.net/threads/r4-stage2-twl-flashcart-launcher-and-perhaps-other-cards-soon™.416434/
Use the one for Wood R4 if you use that, or the "AnyKernel" one if you use the stock kernel or YSMenu. But if you aren't using Wood R4 yet it'd be a good idea to switch to that as it's better.
If that doesn't work (but it should), you can try this:

Going to give a plus to the R4i Gold and of course from nds-card.com.
The R4i Gold officially supports Wood R4, which of course brings tons of Acekard features to the R4(i Gold)
And nds-card.com is GBATemp's official sponsor, so buying from them helps support the Temp

Thanks for the fast answers :)
I always get a blackscreen with all the launchers. (wood 1.62 firmware on the card. works fine in nintendo ds)
I will order the r4i gold (because the m3simply is from the ds of my parents... sooner or later they need it back ;) and i dont like the 2gb sd limit...)

At the moment i couldnt find a confirmation, that m3simply works. Just the "technical it should" posts ^^


EDIT:
Ah i missed a part. I had to install it to sysnand and emunand... now it works. (and now i have to open like 100 gifts because i bootet to sysnand once....)

EDIT2:
Just works on sysnand, not on emunand...

I don't think DS mode ever worked in emuNAND. I would moving emuNAND to sysNAND by following https://3ds.guide/move-emunand so you don't have to deal with issues like this.

ahhhh the tutorials never stop ^^

But there is like almost no explanation on the site. From what i understand: i have a sysnand wit 9.2 with a cfw. To protect the sysnand, i have the emunand with 11.4

Why should i move the emunand to sysnand? When i move the emunand, to sysnand, is it still emunand? Or is it just some kind of "linking" the both together, to have the same content on both? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Do i have to install a9hl again after that? (because at the end the tut says "Return to Installing arm9loaderhax." )

Sorry for all the questions +.+

(and why did he say, i should install the loader to sys AND emunand?
R4 Stage2 TWL )

But you don't need EmuNAND. It is currently almost useless. You better move the contents of your EmuNAND to yourn SysNAND, and update your CFW SysNAND to 11.4. When did you install that SysNAND. It's been a while that 3ds.guide doesn't make you install it anymore.

Thought it was a safe feature. When i look up in the settings and it says "emu" , i can savely update. When i am in the sysnand, i should avoid updates of the firmware. +.+

Errr... Nope? As long as your CFW (here Luma3DS) is compatible with the latest version, which is currently the case, you can safely update. You cannot brick if you don't do it on purpose.

Well I didn't know it was possible for me to feel even more stupid...

To hell with emunand!
Atm I got luma+a9hl, sysnand on 9.2 and emunand on 11.4

Can I now just follow the guide to move emunand to sysnand and then update sysnand to 11.4? Or should I first update sysnand to 11.4 and then start moving? Is there anything else I have to worry about? Thanks in advance :)
