When I followed the guide to install arm9loaderhax, I used the original 4GB SD card of my 2DS, I want now to upgrade the SD to a new 32GB, what is the proper/safe way to replace the SD card?
thanks.

Just copy and paste everything from the old SD to the new SD

I am having a bit of a issue with Luma romfs patching. For some reason it does not want to work on my end. I have followed the Pokemon Gold, Silver and Crystal Wireless Linking with patches tutorial. So, I am using a vanilla Pokemon Crystal. I rename the game to the patch, excluding the .patch. I rebuilt the romfs and for some reason luma3ds is not detecting the romfs.

File setup ROOT/luma/titles/pokemonblueUStitleid/romfs/romfs.bin
pokemonblueUStitleid/code.bin

Don't know what I am doing wrong.


Probably doesn't work with vc games

I just noticed that my Luma updater crashes everytime while loading and on the bottom screen it says "configuration file could not be found". While trying to solve this problem I noticed the following: When booting with the SD card inserted and holding select the version of the configuration file is v7.0.3, but when I boot without the SD card and hold select it says v6.6. How can I update the "no SD card inserted - configuration file" to the latest version?

You'll need to copy arm9loaderhax.bin from your sd card to ctrnand. It's the Luma version. You can copy it with FBI or GodMode9. The Luma version in ctrnand isn't related to the updater problem though.

Thanks a lot for the quick response! Your solution solved my problem, but you are right: it is not related to the updater crashing.
I tried reinstalling the cia file and now it works, even though it still says that the configuration file is missing while loading.

EDIT: I also solved the latter by copying the lumaupdater.cfg to the /luma folder. Don't know, why it was not there before.

You don't usually need the config unless you have some special setup

Since I followed the guide on how to install a9lh and luma exactly and didn't do any big changes after that I wouldn't think that I have some kind of special setup. Still it somehow solved the problem, so I am happy with that. Thanks again!

EDIT: Btw., out of curiosity: Why do you have to copy the arm9loaderhax.bin to CTRNAND? Since it's just a partition I would have thought that having it in the NAND folder would be sufficient (even though I have to admit that I don't know much about how all of that works).

You don't. It just lets you boot your 3DS without SD card inserted.

The arm9loaderhax tries to first load arm9loaderhax.bin from sd root. If it can't find it or sd card isn't inserted, it will load it from ctrnand

Hey guys, I'm having trouble booting into Recovery Mode. I have a N3DS and aside from that it seems to be working completely normal, but when I try to boot into Recovery (L+R+A+Dpad Up) I get a black screen, even trying without SD.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe update Luma? I haven't heard that happen before
