Dear all,

I followed Plailect guide to do A9LH with Luma
on my 2DS and it's done perfectly.
But I found that A9LH on O3DS/2DS can't play
Super Smash and Monster Hunter with the RAM problem.
I tried to search for the the guide to solve this problem on this page:

https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...ng-luma3ds-work-with-an-external-boot-manager

GBA/DS games/DSiWare/Smash Bros/Monster Hunter 4 fail to start
You haven't configured Luma3DS to work with your boot manager, please refer to this for instructions.

it's link to this :
(Optional) Making Luma3DS work with an external boot manager
If you're using a boot manager (BootCtr9, CtrBootManager9, ARM9Select, etc.) to load Luma3DS, you won't be able to play GBA/DSiWare games, or certain games that need more RAM on the device (such as Super Smash Bros).
  • You can disable your boot loader OR
  • Change Luma3DS's path (refer to the Options and usage page).
then link to this:
Use custom path: If the option is on, you can change the default location of the Luma3DS payload (which is arm9loaderhax.bin on the root of the SD) by typing it in a path.txt file in luma, it must start with a / and not exceed 55 characters. This path is also picked up if not booting via A9LH.

But I don't understand how to do it,
please someone kindly explain simple step for me T_T
thanks a lot

There is no solution, you can't play MHGen and Smash with 2DS or the Original 3DS because it doesn't have enough memory. End of Story.

Edit: derped out, ignore my message.

That's funny, cause my 2DS runs both of them just fine.
The only game from the top of my head only working on N3DS is xenoblade.

Either way, I don't use a bootloader, so that might be the difference there.

After I did A9LH by Plailect guide, is it has a bootloader ?
I don't understand that which one is a bootloader
because it's turn on and go to 2DS menu directly.

If you literally only did plailect's guide, you *should* be fine, as it doesn't user any external bootloaders.
Did you install anything else besides what was said in the guide?

I installed NTR and FreeShop, should not effect, right ?

They work just fine on my 2ds as well ..

In the past, it's working on Emunand. But when I change to A9LH, it's not working T_T

I use A9LH with Luma 6.3.1 on Sys 11.1 now.

As detailed as this is, I really suggest keeping with the official thread, instead of making a new one
Still, if you changed the payloads and it's not working, have you tried downloading the changed payload from this site?

Gonna guess NTR is your issue then for games (Smash / MHG) that need all the RAM they can use on O3DS / 2DS systems

Thanks a lot, I will try. If I still have a problem, I will post on the main topic of Luma ^^

I installed NTR, but I never run it before playing a game T_T

All I can say is that the explanation is that the reboot patches Luma3DS has are not working correctly for whatever reason. 3DS does a hotboot into completely different home menu etc. modes to free up memory, disabling background processes like web browser, MiiVerse etc. To free up memory for the game software in 3DS. Smash Brothers, Monster Hunter 4 and Gen, and few other games do this (I think Hyrule Warriors 3DS too)

So, Luma3DS has support for these games (which was not the case always BTW, RXtools had problems with this too and I think people figuring out reboot patching was THE thing)

It would be weird though if only YOU have a problem with this. This does not seem to be any wider problem given lack of reports but to specify that the reboot patches are not working right for one reason or another.
As I understand, one thing can be if you are ex gateway user, gateway system files or something like that can fuck up resources that CFW's want to patch or whatever when needed. May be a completely clean reinstall may be. I am just speculating, I hope aurora can specify and help with this.
