Homebrew Extended Memory games crashing on New 3DS XL

[Lanlan]

Just for the hell of it why don't you delete the luma config file found in your luma folder on the sd and see if it does anything.

Gimme your paypal, I'm sending you $10, because that fucking worked


edit: why in the hell didn't it work when I took out my SD card, then? Thank you so much for the suggestion, dude. Seriously

We should make a post for this in case it happens to someone else.

I posted it on reddit twice, and on here twice, plus I've been in the Nintendo hacking discord all day.

I sat down and tried to think logically about what was going on, the nand was written back and it didn't change anything, the games that didn't have high mem worked, the only other thing I could think of was the luma config. You are welcome, I know it would suck to buy something for like $250 and have something like this happen

 

[SuzieJoeBob]

I kind of want to see the original and new config files to see what the issue was. Did you keep a copy of it?

 

[wicksand420]

LANLAN probably deleted the config, but maybe he could replicate the bug, we should see and maby submit it to
AuroraWright

I told you to format your sd, card, redownload the files and copy to A fresh formated SD card before...but you didn't

Remember that the guide tells you to install Luma3DS on the NAND itself, and to boot the 3DS without an SD so that the Luma3DS installed on the NAND can create it's own config file.

If op somehow had a faulty version of Luma3DS, which they also used on the NAND, it would make sense that the bad/corrupt settings file is also found in there, and since Luma3DS loads from NAND when an SD is not found, it is also loading this bad config, hence it not working.

Op should go into FBI and do the same, delete the config file from the NAND and make a new one just in case.

It did not need to be formatted, it was just the config, formatting the sd would have been brutal overkill if he only had to delete one file.

Good point!

My problem has resurfaced. I was dumping a box of Charmanders on Wondertrade, after about ten or so I get a crash, and the "an error has occurred" screen, now EMM games won't boot again. I tried deleting the config to no avail, I'm hesitant to restore my nand, because reorganizing my Home Menu is a pain, and it didn't work last time

@wicksand420 Have any more genius ideas, man?

have you upgraded to bs9 or are you still on a9lh?

 

[Lanlan]

have you upgraded to bs9 or are you still on a9lh?

I went to bs9 earlier, thinking it would help, but nope. Right now I'm ready to just get a new 3ds, but system transfer won't open

Is your console banned at all?

Nope

 

[wicksand420]

do you still have the old .bin payload inside the ctrnand? or did you put the boot.firm there?

I've got a boot.firm, but nothing else in the root. Where would the bin be? At root?

 

[wicksand420]

Yes, it would be in the root of the CTR NAND, Check inside CTR NAND/rw/luma and see if there is a luma config, if so delete it along with the config on your sd and start your console without the sd in once.

Yeah, I did that previously and it didn't work, unfortunately

 

[wicksand420]

This is crazy man, I wonder what is going on, what kind of sd do you have, have you tested another to see if it does the same thing?
