Figured as much. I should see if the setup I made last year still works. I guess I probably need to update it first.
You are going to need to update the hell out of that. Check the official thread for the latest nightly of Corbenik and what not. A lot has changed with Corbenik, so it's really suggested to just use the nightly

Thanks for the heads up. I know who to go to for CFW questions. :D

Do we know if all the bugs with LayeredFS has been ironed out?

@Aurora Wright Would it be possible for Luma3DS to load the correct banner for out of region games that are missing banners? I heard it sets a flag for the region and if there isn't a banner for that, it shows a blank. Would it be possible for the region emulation to set the flag properly to show the original banner when it doesn't have other region banners?

I would grab the 9.2 update pack from that iso site and update your sysNAND to 9.2. It should make your life easier than staying on 2.1.
If you have two EmuNAND, you could update the Luma3DS EmuNAND. Two EmuNAND seems excessive, but if that's what you want... Keep your Gatewait EmuNAND on 11.2 unless you just want to trash it.
You should be able to run your flashcart on either, but I would recommend updating your sysNAND to 9.2.

- define easier than staying on 2.1..... ?? .. i read that 2.1 boot up faster than others firmware... since i can run hombrew from luma emunand..
- so U mean that if i update to 11.4 luma Emunand, its wont link to GW emunand right ??.. bcouse, i have GW-redcard and game inside it... so i still can access it with gw-emunand, that only support until 11.2.... :D..

A lot of hax won't work on 2.1. Almost no one uses 2.1 so if you have problems, you'll get no help.
If you have two EmuNANDs then yes. If you have one EmuNAND you're booting with two different CFW then no.

so, I have luma3ds and A9LH now on my n3ds with a 64gb micro SD. Now I want to upgrade to 128GB micro SD.

What do I have to copy? And how can I make sure all games and save games are transferred? Just copy & paste everything or how? thanks.

use godmode9 to format the new SD card

https://3ds.guide/godmode9-usage -> Format an SD card
  • be sure you switch the SD card to the new one before you press the 5 button combination in step 9!

Ok so hi guys. This is a quick question.. My setup is a O3DS A9L+Luma 7.0.4

Before upgrade from 11.2 to 11.4 (For online reasons) it gave me an blackscreen error. Ok, i think it was because i use luma 6.5 so i update luma 6.5 to 7.0.4 an (recently) boot ok but when i go to play MHgen i gave me the same error as the first time i update from 11.2 to 11.4 so, for no panic i check Pokemon Sun (with v1.1 patch) and samething

So i check out reddit and GBAtemp and saw something about 11.4 breaks chainload, payloads and also some games like mh, pkmn and smash.

I have the same ticks (or check mark) as they say to use for an O3DS and still gave me that black screen error. It doesnt show anything in the bottom screen as ussual error. And at the moment i doesnt found any kind of fix for this and hope anyone here could help. If anyone need more info just say

EDIT: K i manage to fix ut by just updating all. A9LH, Luma (I think it doesnt do anything but i di it too), and put sdless working too

Never saw anything about chainload payloads breaking. HBL payload is broken on 11.4, but you can use the 11.2 on O3DS in Luma3DS so that's not an issue. Latest Luma3DS is 7.0.5. Try updating.

But this is just for layeredFS. I dont see how this could solve my problem.

Maybe its something about that thing i did that was put a file into the 3ds itself? (sdless if i remember)

Hi! I'm new to all this... I followed a video tutorial and was able to install sys 11.3.0.36U Luma on my 2ds. Some of my games require me to update to 11.4 for online play. How do i update this without losing cfw?

If you installed the normal community a9lh and are using the newest Luma, you can update normally through system settings

You can safely update once you have A9LH installed.Just make a backup of your NAND with Horglass9 before doing so.

Hi there, When I launch a DS title my Old3DS throws an shutdown error. I know you explain how to solve this in the FAQ in GitHub, but when I install the 'O3DS TWL.cia' the system throws the same error. Any help?
Thx 4 all :D
