I purchased a hard moded N3DS with A9LH and Luma 5.5 that I have not used in pretty much forever (Read this as "I am a noob at this"). I finally decided to pick it up again and play some pokemon, and of course I wanted to go online, so I updated the console without updating Luma or anything else and now I think I bricked my system. When I press the power button the screens are black and the power button is blue. I can press the power button and hold select at the same time to get the following options:

Autoboot SysNand
SysNAND is Updated (A9LH-only)
Force A9LH detection
Use second EmuNAND as default
Enable region/language emulation
Show current NAND in System Settings
Show GBA boot screen in patched AGB_Firm
Enable splash screen with no screen-init

Below are the files inside the SD card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go here, download Luma v7.0.5 and extract it, copy the arm9loaderhax.bin file to the root of your SD card, overriding the one you have. Your system should now boot. Then go here and upgrade to boot9strap so that your system can get continued support for Luma3DS releases because Luma3DS no longer supports a9lh. If you want to, that is. But at least download Luma v7.0.5 and do what I said to do first.

    @Xdqwerty, People who create revival services for the Wii end up in disaster, same goes for Pretendo lol.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
