Today I tried to upgrade from A9LH to B9S, so I followed the 3ds.guide tutorial on that and at the end of section II my device is supposed to reboot, however, if it didn't I had to make sure that I copied boot.firm to my sd card, when I popped my sd into my computer I saw it there, tried copying again and nothing, it still wouldn't turn on, I tried redownloading the .7z file that contains it, copied it again, nothing, it still won't turn on.

I have an old 3ds with A9LH, I think it is know B9S as I completed the part where it was installed, I had Luma 7.0.1 before upgrading and added Luma 8.1.7's boot.firm for this tutorial, that's the file that should be the cause of the problem but it isn't as it is in my sd card and on the right directory. I was able to follow up the guide until step 5 of section II, where it should reboot but it doesn't, thanks in advance.

No, I updated B9S first, I just added boot.firm as the guide said, I didn't update Luma as far as I know

So you updated B9S, then made sure you updated Luma3DS after the update?

No, I only made it to install b9s and couldn't continue

Since you updated B9S, just replace the Luma3DS files with the latest Luma3DS boot.firm

Thanks, but I'm already using the latest boot.firm, will it be ok if I use a lower version?

The lowest you can go with B9S 1.2 is Luma3DS 8.0, but 8.1 fixed a lot of the stability issues.

I know, but no, I downloaded the files that I needed and followed every single step, I'll load an SD card backup and see if it will turn on after that, if it does I'll try to update again

Try loading into an older version of Luma3DS. If it loads, then you just need to run through the update process again

The backup I was going to load was made when I ran A9LH but I installed B9S today, are exploits saved in my sd card or in my 3ds? because if they are saved in the sd it should work if I load the backup, right?

Please do not troubleshoot in the dark. Exploits are saved directly onto the system itself. Did you upgrade from A9LH or B9S (1.0/1.1)?
Try the nightly builds of Luma3DS

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
