Hello guys. I need your help. I'm experiencing persistence crashing on my N3DSXL running the latest 11.4.0-37E. I have Luma3DS v7.0.5. It seems to crash every 2nd time I return to the home menu, that is, when I boot it up I can run a game or app, If I then close the game or app, open it again, or another one and press the home menu button, the graphics freezes. Strange thing however, my home menu audio still plays fine, in it's little annoying loop. I'm running a custom CHMM2 theme, so it may be that (I'll just do a quick check.)

I've updated my A9LH payload just today aswell, hoping it would fix it.

It also crashes loading games from cartridges (Being the 2nd loaded piece of software), which is worrying me slightly. The console is about 2 months old.
Cheers!
Try disabling chmm

Yeah, seems to have worked. In fact, I haven't reapplied my theme over the last couple of updates. I've reapplied a theme and it seems to be working? Only I'm still getting crashes random between homebrew software, like when booting them up. Any of you guys experience this? And the FTP program I'm using on my 3DS keeps automatically closing the connection, then immediately crashes.

I have installed the cfw on 11.3 as per the 3ds guide and the guide says to update the firmware after a9lh and luma, is it okay to do so or should i remain on 11.3

Thanks and is it okay to delete the extra files like ctr transfer and other files etc after the cfw installation as it says in the end of the guide

Yeah. Everything the guide says it's true. (Or at least I've never heard it being wrong except right after updates or new exploits are released.)
In theory you don't need any of the files but it's good to have the ones the guide tells you to keep.

Is it possible to use 2 separate sd cards and switch between then, ie: have one 64 GB card full of games and then another 32GB card full of different games?

I did try this earlier, I have a backup of a my original 16GB sd card full of games , Which is now combined with my 64GB sd card (now full) But when I copied the (16gb) backup over (to the empty card) I wanted to delete the games as many are duplicates (I deleted via FBI (delete title and tickets)), then when I put the 64GB sd back in the 3DS all the games were gone. Is that because I deleted the tickets too ?

Yes, you need to delete only the title I believe.

Another noob here looking for help. i bought a new 2DS today because I didn't want to brick my Zelda 3DSXL and I followed the 3ds.guide - plailects guide to the letter and it worked perfectly. I didn't get any errors or anything. I don't know the terminology though. I now have Luma3ds installed, I have FBI installed. I updated the system as per the guide. I copied a cia file to the sd card and installed it with FBI, it installed perfectly and is in the home menu but it doesn't play. It was Dragon Quest Monsters Terrys Wonderland pre patched to english. This game was only released in Japan. It doesn't give me any errors just stays at the 3DS logo. I have to shut it down by holding the power button.

So I guess it is just the file and maybe the patch wasn't done properly or even if I need to patch it myself for the 2DS I don't know. So I got another file to try and it was Zelda Majoras Mask and this wont work either but this gives me the error. 'an error has occurred forcing the software to close' - not very informative but that made me think is there any other steps I am missing? I got one more file a GBA game converted to a CIA and it works perfectly.

Am I missing something. I really want to play Terrys Wonderland if nothing else. Would I be better trying to make my own CIA file from a 3DS or something like that. I don't understand the difference to be honest.

Any help would be appreciated!

I think the files might be corrupt. Try redownloading them or use freeshop.

So your saying if I buy the New Nintendo 3DS XL then all I need to do is install Luma + arm9loaderhax and I can load both 3DS and 2DS games? I don't need a separate flashcart?

Also if I were to NOT go down the Luma + arm9loaderhax route due to fears of bricking the console then what flashcarts would I be looking at?

Thanks in advance
There's no such thing as 2DS games.

well just in case anyone else is having trouble getting DQM Terry's Wonderland to work I sort of figured it out. I went to the official fan translation page. It mentions people getting stuck at the logo screen too but basically the fix is to scan a QR code for the titlekey of the patch with FBI and it works perfect. Not sure how to be fair. Not sure why it wasn't working before seeing as it was patched already...i think!
