Hacking 3DS boots to a black screen

[bobfacemoo]

I was using my 3DS last night and it was just fine - I was sat playing pokemon gold shiny hunting like a normal person.

Anyway today when I tried to boot it, it just black screens on me. No screen init or anything. Just the blue power light. If I take my SD card out, it boots my splash screen and then black screens, and with my SD card in it just black screens. I'm not sure what's going on really..

I'm able to access payloads such as GM9 and stuff. I tried replacing the luma files both on my SD card and CTRNAND but this didn't fix the issues.

Does anyone know what's going on? I'm only bothered about my pokemon gold and Ultra Sun save, so I'm hoping there's a solution that will mean not losing them.

Try deleting home menu extdata (see https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting). How is your splashscreen setup? Maybe try getting rid of that

I didn't need to - I managed to fix it, I think. I saw the "remove cartridges" part and ejected my TTDS, and it booted straight up again
