if you reach luma configuration pressing select on boot, and the configuration shows up in second 0: your device is NOT bricked. Can you reach hourglass9 booting with start button pressed?

With the device off: hold start, then power on. Hold until hourglass9 appears.

If doesn't work: please verify the file start_hourglass9.bin is in SD:/luma/payloads/ and try again.
If doesn't work: redownload hourglass9 and try again.

Once working: continue with the guide.

You clearly didn't read the entire Section 3, because it says:
  • If you get a black screen, just continue to the next section
  • If you get a “Failed to mount CTRNAND” error, just continue to the next section
Edit: I see, you can't boot the chainloader menu. Make sure Luma is updated to the latest version.
If it still doesn't work, try the latest build here: https://jenkins.hakujou.fr/job/3DS/job/Luma3DS/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/Luma3DS.zip

As long as you can boot the Luma3DS menu, your 3DS is probably recoverable, don't worry.
where will i put the files sir? only arm9loaderhax.bin or the entire content?

You only need arm9loaderhax.bin.

If that still doesn't work, try renaming Hourglass9.bin to start_Hourglass9.bin and try again. This shouldn't be necessary anymore now that Luma has a chainloader menu, but since that doesn't seem to be working for you, it's worth a shot.

Copy contents to different SD will work.

Remember that NAND you where supposed to back up when you made a copy of your files9 folder? Make shure you have it.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    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!
  • The Real Jdbye @ 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 @ 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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
