I have followed this Plailect's guide from beginning to end, and wiped Emunand/Rednand as suggested in Plailect's guide here https://plailect.github.io/Guide/move-emunand as I wanted to keep all my installed CIAs from my Gateway during my A9LH install.

But after the guide it seems that my EmuNAND was cloned to SystemNAND??? So now all my CIAs are showing on SysNAND and it won't boot in Luma EmuNAND at all?

My 3ds is a N3DS XL EUR version 9.0.0-20E before the A9LH (I just checked and now it says Sys ver 9.7.0-25E ..

Any help will be appreciated!

Exactly. Your emuNAND was cloned to your sysNAND so you don't have an emuNAND to boot into anymore. Hence the black screen. Since you're on A9LH now, there is no need for emuNAND as you can do everything you could before now from sysNAND. Since you said all of your stuff shows up in sysNAND now, why are you trying to get back to your emuNAND anyway?

I am also trying to load Gateway, I have followed this guide http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691 but I keep getting the black screen after the dragon logo. So not sure what to do here...

Have you tried using BootCTR9 instead to chainload the payload for Gateway? Or you could install V1 of A9LH instead.... Otherwise I'm not really sure.. Hopefully someone can help. :(

Is there a good guide as to what I should be linking to the BootCTR9? I may give that a shot...

Well here is the actual release thread which I'm pretty sure should help. Also check out this wiki from the Github that explains it's options and uses to get you started. I found this thread as well which might help.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Actually the guide you linked yourself is exactly what you need. Go ahead and read through the other stuff but your problem is exactly what I stated....

"Since EmuNAND//RedNAND wasn't removed properly, traces were leftover and GW by default sees it, and tries to boot into this non-existent EmuNAND//RedNAND and fails. So how do we fix it? We use EmuNAND9 to preperly remove traces of it."

That's from the guide you linked. Just follow the part through the troubleshooting section there and you should be good to go.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
