This is really starting to annoy me been working on this for 7 hours now :( :( :( :(
you've probably tried it, but I would seriously recopy the arm9loaderhax.bin to your SD card, delete the settings for Luma3DS (just to be safe) and maybe error check the SD card for the sake of being thorough. Also try without splash? I don't know...probably wouldn't affect it but everything is worth trying.

"Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts." (hey, if the Pink Floyd lyrics fit).

Seriously though, it would help if we knew what you did, exactly. To the best of my knowledge, this guide makes no mention of a splash screen. If you can tell us what guide you're following or what steps you've taken, maybe we can help. You definitely want to avoid optional things like a splash screen for now. Get it booting properly, then "after a while, you can work on points for style" (there I go again).

Of course, I could offer to set it up for you, but I would have to charge some money for my time (not to mention S&H). And installing A9LH is time-consuming. It's not like flashing a Caetla ROM to a PSX Game Shark (talk about good times ;) ).

Ah, almost considered mentioning trying one of my configurations. I've got them created for Arm9Select, BootCTR9, CBM9, and Luma3DS now. Wasn't planning on doing them for A9S and Luma because they don't need config files for basic configuration. However, my configurations aren't exactly basic. They run it all (with some help from CBM9 to list what I ran out of hotkeys for, well, technically I didn't run out, but some keys are better left unassigned for obvious reasons).

Ah, it's probably the 9.0 NATIVE_FIRM. IIRC the reboot patches won't work on 9.x. Try booting SysNAND with R instead.
Booting with R didn't help (blackscreens after starting the flascard). In the mean time I found the solution: I changed the Luma settings to boot sysnand by default, no need to press any key (using GW for emunand anyway). Now all flashcards are working fine.

omfg i hate being a noob lol but i still can't seem to inject it says my sd card isnt formated but i thought everything was actually on the nand

If it's emu9 make sure it's an updated version and replace all files with it I had the same problem and that fixed it.

Wait, are you trying to inject it to EmuNAND or SysNAND? If you've deleted EmuNAND, and you're trying to inject to it, it will give you that error. Make sure you're in the SysNAND menu.

Hey Guys, I have a little problem with my a9lh 3ds.

I want to use Luma3ds and gateway.

I downloaded the ctr9 bootmanager and it works. It boots by default Luma and when i hold the R button the gateway mode.


But, since im using ctr9 bootmanager I cant play in Luma Mode Dsi and gba games.

does anyone have a idea? How i can make it work?
