So, I see the ban issues so I pull mine out of the drawer. Well, it won't even turn on. I plugged in the charger to see if I just forgot to turn it off, etc.

After 30 mins, even with the charger still plugged in, it still won't turn on.

I get a blue light, then it just fades out. Doesn't blink, stay active, etc. Any ideas?

I don't remember which method I used to hack it. :(

Is there an SD card inside?

I'm going to go with the guide you linked to. 3dsafe part at the top, do I need that since I have a new 3ds? or do I just start with the new 3ds part, and go down from there.

Either lol. So, i'm going with the guide, but the picture it shows has files that I don't have, nor does it link to/tell me where to get those. The two I listed...

ignore the picture, just follow the instructions
edit: on a second thought, i think you're gonna need arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of the card like it's in the picture
download it here
Added it as suggested earlier, and it's booted to the Luma3ds v7.0.5 config menu.
@F34R If you have a mic/speakers/headset and discord you can hop onto the GBATemp Discord server and we can talk.
I wish I did. I'm not allowed to have it lol, I'm 41 years old. Long explanation...

So, I'm at the config menu.. is there something I should do next? I'm kinda lost even with the guide.. since I'm not where I would be with the guide itself.

Progress....
Just set the options listed in the guide and you should be set. Next to upgrade to boot9strap if you want. (Recommended)
I won't ask about discord......

    @LeoTCK, mods are probably hating you

    on most sites mods hated me, sooner or later, but usually over time I get either banned or the mods get used to me
  • LeoTCK @ LeoTCK:
    sometimes to the point of thanking me for my quick actions etc against spam and other stuff, but yea...its either they come to respect me or outright hate me
