I'm not sure. I followed the 3ds.guide 100%, so whatever that set me up with, I have. I can give more specifics if you point me in a direction of what exactly to look for
Correction how LONG ago did you use the guide did it still mention one at that point otherwise for whatever reason you somehow buggered up your NAND, have a recent known good one?

Press select on startup, activate the option "show NAND or user string in system settings", press start to save, start system settings, there will be displayed: EMU 11.4.0 or SYS 11.4.0

about 1 or 2 weeks ago. I backed up my nand when the guide told me to. Everything was working fine before i hacked, and after I hacked, it started messing up when I closed my 3ds while online earlier

hmm maybe a partial downgrade of some sort or something not cool at all , while the SD can still be suspect. test the card before restoring from backup.

@wicksand420 some early iterations before we have what we know today had the Option of migrating to a full sysnandbut since the OP did it a few weeks ago i'd say Bad setup/Corrupted NAND

I already restored my old nand, to no avail. I booted physical Codename Steam (which I assume uses extended memory) and it crashed on boot. Physical Kid Icarus, on the other hand, booted fine.

You could try to use a new SD card, format it, redownload all files (newest available version), copy all files to your new and fresh Formated SD card, set the luma settings and try again

some physical games need sd card access
but maybe an app into the Nintendo 3DS (incomplete installed game) is causing the problems

This person wrote all the major homebrew tools. GodMode9, Decrypt9, etc etc.
Oh, cool! I enabled the log feature in Luma, and I can get it to crash by doing quite a few things

Try to defragment your SD card on your pc, if a game is fragmated it won't start.
If the 3DS couldn't handle fragmented SD cards, it would have been recalled for an obvious design flaw years ago.

Defragmenting flash memory devices is usually not a good idea, since it reduces the life span of the flash memory.
