You need to install a cia file(the friend system module for better understanding) not linkable here due to being copyrighted stuff. There is no reason at all to not update
You have to update the SYSTEM, not Luma, that much should be obvious to even newbies... If you have b9s or even a9lh installed, then updating from the system settings is 100% safe, you lose absolutely nothing, it's even right there in the guide for CFW. Update the system and it will work just fine.

I will not list JPN, KOR, TWN, and CHN. You guys have fun with hanzi/kanji, kata/hiragana, hangul.
Edit: SysE means you're booting SysNAND with EmuNAND 1 FIRM. Why do you have EmuNAND stuff?

Do i have to do the update in sysnand or emunand? Still worried of loosing the cfw.I reed a lot of warnings that if you update your 3DS ,you loose your cfw!

Updating just the EmuNAND should be fine. EmuNAND isn't even needed anymore with Luma, so you don't have to worry about loosing cfw.
You can update both SysNAND and EmuNAND to 11.8.0-41E, but why are you using EmuNAND? Unless you do dev work messing with CTRNAND stuff, EmuNAND is not needed in this day and age for the 3DS.
You will not lose your custom firmware when updating to version 11.8.0-41E for the 3DS firmware.
As was said previously, make sure you're using Luma3DS v9.1 and boot9strap v1.3 before you update. If you have Luma3DS v9.0 or older, you'll get a "Failed to apply 1 FIRM patch(es)" error, which is fixable by updating to Luma3DS v9.1.
- Use the CFW starter kit found here if you're not sure what you have.
- Follow this guide: Updating B9S
- You'll want to have Luma3DS v9.1, boot9strap v1.3, and GodMode9 v1.7.1 on both SD card and (SysNAND) CTRNAND.
- Ditch your EmuNAND when you get the chance.
- Update the 3DS firmware in System Settings.
So i'm on Emu 11.2.0-35E , go to system settings and do the update? I also just noticed that the cia's installed on sysnand or not showing in emunand is that normal? I'm new to this cfw thing....
OKAY. How good is your knowledge about computers?
You put Windows on a hard drive as your main operating system, which is like your SysNAND for the 3DS.
Then, you install Linux Ubuntu/Mint/Manjaro/whatever on a second partition on that same hard drive; that's like EmuNAND.
Your Windows side does not recognize your Linux stuff. Technically, your Linux could see and explore files in Windows but for the sake of argument, they're both separate entities residing on the same hard drive but don't acknowledge one another.
That's what having SysNAND and EmuNAND is like for the 3DS. You install a set of programs/titles/games on one XxxNAND, but the other XxxNAND does not have a record of having installed those.
This is one of the reasons why we're asking why are you using EmuNAND when it's not typically needed for modern 3DS CFW usage.
Everytime i switch from emunand to sysnand i have to unwrap the installed cia's again, so on SYSnand i go to system settings and do the update? I just want to go online to add friends.Sorry for being a pain in the ass
That will happen because your SysNAND and EmuNAND are linked. In other words, they share the same exact Nintendo 3DS folder.Everytime i switch from emunand to sysnand i have to unwrap the installed cia's again, so on SYSnand i go to system settings and do the update? I just want to go online to add friends.Sorry for being a pain in the ass

If you want to quickly unwrap multiple HOME Menu titles, use Cthulhu.

You can update either SysNAND, EmuNAND, or both to 11.8.0-41E.
It's generally recommended you ditch your EmuNAND. To do this,
- Backup all your EmuNAND game saves + extdata with Checkpoint or JKSM.
- You should backup titles found on SysNAND while you're at it.
- Dump all your EmuNAND titles [games / DLCs / updates] as *.cia with GodMode9.
- GodMode9 Usage - Dumping a Title
- For EmuNAND, instead of [A:] SYSNAND SD, look in [B:] EMUNAND SD.
- You may need to manually/selectively backup titles that are from EmuNAND.
- Copy all the stuff on your SD card onto a computer.
- Using MiniTool Partition Wizard (free edition), delete the EmuNAND by merging the SD card's partitions into one. Reformat the card with these settings:
- Partition: Primary
- Disk: MBR
- File System: FAT32
- Cluster size: 32 KB
- For further instructions on how to use this software, read this post.
- To ensure your SD card isn't faulty or fake, it's best to check while it's empty with a Full Write + Verify Test in H2testw.
- I advise you don't skip this step if you've never used H2testw on that SD card.
- If it passes the test, delete the *.h2w test files.
- If at any moment an error is reported, stop the test. You need to replace the card; it can't be fixed. Go back to step 3 or 4.
- Copy all your stuff back onto the card.
- From post #16 above, update your custom firmware to Luma3DS v9.1, boot9strap v1.3, and GodMode9 v1.7.1. Then, update your 3DS firmware to Sys 11.8.0-41E.
- There are two parts to your custom firmware: SD card and CTRNAND. You need to update both.
- Update the custom firmware first before updating the 3DS firmware.
- Reinstall all your *.cia titles that was originally from your EmuNAND with FBI.
- Restore the saves and extdata for those games with whichever save manager you used.
10. Backup your SysNAND and keep the *.bin image safe somewhere on your computer or external drive.

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 -

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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
