im having a weird issue if I open a game and then try to go into JKSM check point or homebrew they sit there with a black screen.
I have to power off the 3ds. when I turn it back on I can go into any of those no problem.. but when I open a game again and then try to go back in to one of those same thing?
im trying to save a game but having no success. any ideas?

I have installed Custom Firmware on my 3DS, with Luma and FBI and everything. Not my Nintendo-system wants to make an update, is this safe to do?

Is there a way to check what version of B9S you have installed, and/or whether it needs to be updated?
Well, you can try holding Select on boot - if it boots then you have the right B9S version for the boot.firm you have, and the config screen will tell you which Luma (and therefore which B9S version).

If you get an error message, the B9S version is too low, and if you get a perpetual black screen, it's too high. I think.

As Quantum said, depending on your Luma version we can know what B9S you have.

If I remember correctly, nothing happens if you install the latest B9S if you already had it. So, if that is true (I'm not sure, you should check), you should just update it.

Yeah, it just says Luma v9.0 (though I recall the source download file saying 9.0.7).

but no mention of what level of B9S it is.

That means you have B9S 1.2 or 1.3, and are up to date (there's no practical difference between 1.2 and 1.3, 1.3 just has support for more flashcarts for ntrboot).

I wish to install CFW on an o3ds that is running 11.0.0-4U and a n2ds XL running 11.4.0-37U. I've tried soundhax and oot3dhax on the o3ds and have been given errors from both and oot3dhax give an error on n2ds xl. Without a flashcart, is there a way I can get these both to get CFW?

You can't use SoundHax on the O3DS because you updated it with cartridges from a low version (which doesn't change the Sound app version, and the old one is incompatible).

The N2DSXL's firmware is too high.

You'll have to use ntrboot or seedminer on both (or seedminer on one and DSiWare hax on the other).

Ahhh shoot, the only flashcart I've got on hand is a 2013 R4 SDHC which doesn't work on current OFW. Thank you for clarifying this because I have seen many posts saying certain things work and certain ones don't all for these 2 OFW.

Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right place. I'm sure my question has been answered before and that I'll get directed 3ds.hacks.guide but I still need some advice. I have a N3DS that is on 9.2 with an unlinked Emunand on 11.2 and ReiNand. I see Luma3DS is the way to go these days.

What would be the most direct way to get on Luma and 11.7 without losing my installs and saved data on my Emunand?

I tried updating my Emunand with Rei to 11.7 and Rei stopped launching, I've restored my Emunand backup to undo this :P

How are you accessing your emuNAND? Menuhax or A9LH?

I'm not too sure. I have a distorted screen followed by selector that shows up when I turn on my 3DS, not sure if that helps indicate? Otherwise how do I check?
That sounds like menuhax. Do the following:
  1. Boot up without the SD card then put the SD card in after the home menu shows up
  2. Go to themes and pick a different theme
  3. Follow https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(soundhax) and follow the next page after it etc
  4. When you get to optional section move emuNAND, follow it
You won't lose any data.

Much appreciated, thank you! I will give it a go.

I'm trying to restore my flashcart (R4 SDHC RTS Lite) by following the guide, but the flashcart isn't showing up on my 3DS at all. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
