Tapatalk notified me about creation of this guide. Maybe my phone thinks I'm an idiot who needs to update their 3DS CFW.

Multi-updater? Luma3DS updater? It would help if you told people which app you were talking about, as more than likely the majority of them don't have it installed.

Err, I’m still sure someone can screw up if they’re not on B9S or something

 

[ImInsane]

How about u tell me how my n3ds still in 8.1.1 even with boot.firm from 9.0.

help therss no blue star on house menu

then you dont have luma updater you must have messed up during the lumacfw install (or may not have cfw)

luma updater is not supported anymore and doesnt work.

I'm gonna be straight and honest with you guys. I only picked up this project to fix the small text issues that the original had. I didn't expect myself to keep up with the project when b9s dropped nor did I expect the hourlies to become an issue.

Most of the changes to LU were not my code (as seen and properly credited in the changelogs). I can't call myself a dev because most (if not 99%) of the changes weren't me. My knowledge of C/C++ isn't anywhere near to the level of the app. I'm a full time online college student who's swamped with homework and I also have to help take care of my grandma.

I don't want you guys to think I'm trying to find the easy way out of this and beg for help. I want to help. I want to make LU an app that people can use and be happy with when the Luma devs release an update. I'm not begging for help. I just want to explain my situation.

Yes it does work and yes it is supported. That post wasn't a post of me quitting. It was me explaining. Don't say things that aren't true, thanks.

[Amapola62]

What about people (like me) who have LumaUpdater as a 3dsx and not a homemenu app?

Don't know what to tell you. And no, my explaination didn't sound like quitting. Don't put words that aren't there.

[KunoichiZ]

Not now. You read my explaination. And don't ask for updates or else I'll put off releasing it.

 

[Amapola62]

I don't know if it's a LumaUpdater issue, a Luma one or a problem with my 3dses, but after updating to Luma 9.0, I got a generic menu error in my o3ds and no error on my new 3dsXL but I couldn't open the theme shop because it couldn't find any data...
Is it a Luma problem?
