(press select while turning on the 3DS, if the luma config shows this "Press A to select, START to save(Test, if you see this it's booting from the modified boot.firm)" Luma is loading from the SD card :3)
Thanks. This was a life saver. Somehow the original combi didnt work.

I try to enter Rosalina Menu on some old 3DS and just can't. I edited combo and compiled Luma 9, removed config file but after booting console again - new combo doesn't work :-( Any suggestions?

Don't you think they wouldn't have made this thread if the didn't NEED to use Rosalina?
It's needed to access the HB Launcher for the first time after installing B9S

I just read the 3ds guide and found out that I can use GodMode9 to inject FBI to H&S App. This way I don't have to use Rosalina Menu but still, it's very strange that it didn't work at all.

P.S. It seems that a system update was required. I changed LUMA to accept DOWN+X+A (I compiled it) but System was 3.0.0. After update to 11.6 Rosalina Menu works. Still - you can use GodMode for FBI swap.

Thanks so much for this. These buttons feel so good mechanically, I would have never guessed they were broken. Glad I found this thread. I don't normally use the L an R buttons even if they work. Bought this system for $5 and wouldn't have used it without this config file.

Regarding the people who say that this is not needed because nobody would use a system without L and R, there are people that normally don't use them and there are tons of games that do not use them.

Now that I know this works I will order new ribbon cables but without this config file, this system would never get used again.

Regarding the argument that this is an edge case not worth 'fixing', I agree it's an edge case but there are more uses than just broken buttons. Those buttons can be hard to reach for some people such as those with injuries or ailments.

But, more importantly, this wouldn't even require a code change. It would be super simple to package an extra config file or two with this. I assume there is testing of the functionality anyway, just copy the file during a test and include it with a note to select the one that suites your needs.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
