Hardware Any rxTools-to-Luma3DS transitioners out here?

[Dothackjhe]

May I take a look at your micro-SD Card's root folder contents?

I'm transitioning from rxTools (bootable via MSET) to Luma3DS for the first time and was struggling to make Luma3DS boot wafter following the right steps as dictated for it.

I'm thinking there is a rxTools remnant that may be in conflict with it.

As such, I would like to take a look at someone's micro-SD Card root folder contents to know which files I should remove from it.

Here's my MMC's contents after replacing files for Luma3DS.

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

Here's how it is now after trimming on it.

Note: I had the files placed in the "rxTools Backup" folder instead of deleting them altogether.

Anyone noticed anything wrong in the picture? I'm open for solutions on this.

I created this thread at the Luma3DS GitHub page: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/issues/380

Hope someone with a good idea can help.

You know you have a "edit" bottom for something, right?
Do a backup, delete everything on your SD and follow this guide. Also, knowing that you are using a emunand, I recomend you to back it up at first, and then use that backup once you need to restore your nand (you'll know when if you pay atention while following the guide).
We'll answer you any question about the process, so just be patient.

Starting from scratch is not that easy. I might as well know first what's causing the problem. Here's to hoping that someone who made a successful transition from rxTools to Luma3DS via MSET route would show his/her memory card's root folder contents.

Nobody uses MSET anymore.

Everyone that go from MSET RxTools to Luma, don't use MSET. ARM9LH is much better, and it's even faster to start. And I'd even say it's easier to install xD And yes, it's VERY easy to do it from scratch.

Does this mean that Luma3DS 6.6 is no longer bootable via MSET?

The reason I'm actually opting for the MSET route is to stray from ARM9LH. The last time I considered opting for earlier builds of Luma3DS, I was dejected by the tediousness involved in the installation of A9LH.

It's, but we don't recomend it to you.

I'm taking baby steps here. I'd like to opt for MSET route first and then consider later on in opting for A9LH.

No one's going to give you MSET advice when no one uses MSET.

Afaik, you'd need to update the ROP of the MSET with Luma.nds (using a flashcard). Then, just using the correct file should start the CFW and the emunand. But I still don't recomend it to you (and nobody will).

May I know why people are no longer opting for the MSET route with Luma3DS apart from it labelled "obsolete?"

Should I consider opting for Luma3DS + A9LH, is there a required minimum firmware for me to do so? My O3DS XL is currently at 8.1.0-19U.

Just that, it's obsolete. This meaning, people don't need to use emunand, don't take more than a minute to start playing, have protection from bricks...
MSET is, imo, the worst way to use a CFW on 3DS. Even menuhax is better, and I'd still tell you to upgrade to A9LH if you had it.

So, back to this question: "Should I consider opting for Luma3DS + A9LH, is there a required minimum firmware for me to do so?"

11.2. If your sysnand is not in 11.3 then you can install A9LH. But again, you can see it in the guide I let you upper.
I hardly recomend you to first read the guide from where you are so you can see how easy it can be, and then ask us what you need and do it.

 

[Dothackjhe]

All the more reason I should stick with the MSET method for now and only take it to A9LH from there.

Ooooh sorry. The minimun is 1.0 afaik. The max one is 11.2. My bad.

 

[Dothackjhe]

So, it's version 1.0 ~ 11.2 then?

Welp, more like 2.1~11.2. But again, you only needed to enter in the link I give to you in the first instance.
