To sum it up, I recently updated Luma on my SD, but now I want to know how I set up the latest version of Luma to boot regardless of if the SD is inserted or not.

Ok, after reading the 3ds.hacks.guide, under the page "Restoring/Updating CFW," it reads by the end that after copying and pasting boot.3dsx and boot.firm from the Luma file, that it is then updated on both SD and internal memory, so I think that's what @Dartz150 was referring to when he said, "copied automatically."

its likely that any update forward should auto copy the file to the ctrnand. It should help make things easier.
So it's already updated then?

(Also, random tidbit: I just read that I'm a "Well-known Member," have I really had to ask that many questions on this site before? lol)

get godmode9, start 3ds with start button and power button.
Press home button go to "Scripts", choose GM9Megascript, then select "Scripts from Plailect's Guide"
choose "Setup Luma3DS to CTRNAND" confirm it with A, then it tells you that SysNAND is locked and you have to unlock it by confirming with A and imput the shown pattern.
After that it should be done.

Not needed the latest version of Luma automatically does this for you.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
