I turned on my CFW O3DS and got just a blackscreen. Literally five minutes earlier I had been playing Pokemon and my battery ran out, I took out the SD card to put on a new theme, put it in and got a random black screen.
No, this isn't me screwing up with my 3DS setting up CFW, I have had homebrew working on my 3DS for a while now and this is random. I let my 3DS sit for a while and it just sat at the black screen with no response.
Idk what's happening, pls help.

did you get your black screen when booting your device, or when you try to install your theme?

probably corrupted some data on the sd card because of removing the sd card.

maybe replacing the a9lh files fixes it

backup the sd card files you had, it really should be the sd card problem.

can you launch in other modes with the buttons pressed?

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated

    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update

    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Thats true, personally I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I play most games that are on both PS3/360 strickly on the 360, but PS3 exclusives are really only games I play on the PS3 (You know me, I'm more of a Xbox junkie)
