No. If you're not running A9LH, you're using the .dat file. I don't believe the tool even works with the .dat because it can already coexist with other CFWs (if you really can't stand the thought of leaving the .dat file in the root though, well, apparently d0k3 can't either, so you could always use the one from his extended starter pack). I think this confirms the reboot patch is not working correctly on the O3DS (though it's working great on the N3DS). Just downgrade to 5.2 until Aurora can check it out.

is there a way to make this cfw can reboot back to emunand after i delete some files from system setting? i'm using BootCtr for autoboot thingy and when i exit the system setting, it will only show blackscreen and i can't do anything except to turn it off..

That's one of the downsides of not using a9lh. Try this press the power button then hit the home button once the power down screen shows up.

Whenever I boot into A9HL+Luma3DS on the latest commit with one specific O3DS, the theme's music would play as the screens are still black, the wifi light is on too, and I can move around the menu, despite it not being displayed. Basically, the display is delayed. Sometimes it would boot normally, formatting solved the problem, temporarily. This only happens on updated sysnand, on emuand, it always boots normally, the menu and screens displaying promptly.

Do you have a custom theme on sysnand? I wonder of the delay is it loading it

I do, but even removing it and going to the default white theme, there's still a delay.

there is no power down screen after I exit the system setting, just blank screen and it won't reboot to emunand back like that Rx cfw did..

I've never had this problem, and this is the first I've heard of this problem. The CFW used has little to no effect on how this works however.

With the newest commit of Luma my R4i RTS Gold 3 DS Revolution flashcard doesnt load up anymore.
Is this normal?

when I start the card, or better, click its icon, the screen stays plain black.
With an older Version of Luma restored it works like usual.

Whats up here?

The latest commit of Luma seems to have problems with TWL mode, which is expected because they're pre pre releases.

Thank you, Astro :-)

The name of the file is "arm9loaderhax.bin" by default. You have to do the renaming yourself. If you're a MenuHax straggler, you're using Luma3DS.dat so this should not be an issue. Actually, I'm starting to think the reboot patch is broken in 5.4 for O3DS. Tried it with "a9lh/Luma3DS.bin" and "a9lh\Luma3DS.bin" and even "Luma3DS.bin" without a path, thinking it could be a mistake I made with path changer, but it works fine on an N3DS XL, so that can't be it. DSiWare just doesn't work on an O3DS. @Aurora Wright please look into this. In the meantime, try going back to 5.2 (I initially said 5.3.1, don't do it, because that version appears to corrupt TWL_FIRM -- 5.2 isn't working on the units I tried 5.3.1 with anymore, so, please stay away from it).

UPDATE: Confirmed the corruption. Reinstalled TWL_FIRM and DSiWare is working again in 5.2 on my O3DS XLs. So, if you have an O3DS, you apparently need to revert to 5.2 to get a working reboot patch for big RAM games, GBA, and DSiWare functionality. And for the love of science, avoid 5.3.1 (especially if you don't have a clean copy of TWL_FIRM handy -- just goes to show, you should always backup the latest firmware release with 3DNUS)

He's still using menuhax. With a9lh 5.4 works perfectly on my O3DS XL, Smash boots without a problem.

That's odd. I've never seen that problem. It's probably a firmware file that didn't get updated or downgraded. Installing A9LH has a good chance of fixing it (just seems to work without issue as long as the NAND isn't completely bricked). And why are you entering System Settings to delete titles? FBI's Titles menu is superior for that at this point. I can't tell you how to eliminate a bug I can't replicate, but, using FBI will greatly reduce the amount of trips to System Settings you need to make.

Try running DSiWare. You'll see why I've reverted the O3DS XLs to 5.2 for now. Black screen. Guess I could have just used Cakes to run Four Swords, but, it's not like 5.4 has a lot of vital new features over 5.2.

sorry can you guide me where to download FBI with Title menu like that?

Sure, got the link right here. If you haven't tried 2.x yet, it's completely different. You'll see what I mean. Only problem I have with it is that going into "Titles" locks up on one O3DS that I have over 100 injected VC titles installed on. But in all fairness, Data Management crashes too. Only DevMenu/BBM can remove titles from that one. I need to just delete it all. I've got Retroarch.
