Game patching doesn't work anymore, is it because of luma?

[Elliii]

A couple of months ago I started hacking my New 2DS XL and it went great. Then I started to patch some games like Majoras Mask and Animal Crossing and everything worked. Some days ago I had troubles with luma where it crashed quite often but after I manually updated it, it went back to normal.

Now my problem: since then game patching just doesn't work anymore and I tried everything!

I checked and unchecked the game patching option, updated luma and godmode9, re downloaded the patch and the game (Majoras Mask, Project Restoration) but nothing helps. I noticed that installing patches via cia works great so I don't understand the problem. I'm confused because it worked for a long time but suddenly it's impossible. I think it has something to do with luma, because it got an update around that time.

Any help is appreciated because I'm losing my mind over this!

you need to enable game patching in luma's settings. iirc, the configuration resets when you update.

I already did that

 

[godreborn]

not sure then. where are the patches located?

In the usual luma/titles/TITLE_ID directory with the correct ID for Majoras Mask Europe

I see. maybe someone else knows what's wrong, because that's correct on both counts.

Yeah it's really frustrating but thank you for your time

If u check luma wiki, the path seems to be named luma/titles/TID not TITLE_ID.

TID = title ID

actually, what he has is correct. it needs to be the title id of the game, not TID or TITLE_ID. it was just a generalization.

op, maybe delete the luma config file? then try going through the configuration again. that's the only suggestion I have left.

Are you using the correct version of the patch for your game?

• v110 if you have MM3D 1.1 (game card with 1.1 preinstalled)
• v100 for MM3D 1.0 (non-updated eShop or non-updated 1.0 gamecard)
• v100 for MM3D 1.1 (updated eShop or updated 1.0 gamecard). Try v101 only if v100 doesn't work.
• The Korean version of the game is not supported. You will need to play on another version.

Is Luma stored in the NAND or at SD card?

If Luma is stored at the NAND the patch option doesn't work. I've had the same problem. Game patching only works if you boot luma from SD card.

Yes I tried every version countless times, just to make sure.
When the patch was working, before the luma update, v110 worked but v100 crashed my 2DS so hard, that I had to reformat my SD Card

That's a useful advice, should I just delete Luma from my NAND then?

I wouldn't do that, but if you choose to, it's in the rw directory of the ctrnand iirc.

Normaly the 3DS searches first for luma on SD Card, if not there then in Nand.

But i recogniced a issue with 10.3, too. when i updated from 10.2.1 all out of region games disappeared. I needed to disable game patching in luma settings because of that.

Hmmmm.... that's really weird.... I also use the latest version of luma and project restoration and have absolutely no problems

Would it be better to just wait for the next Luma update? Aside from game patching, everything works fine, I don't want to make it worse.

Forget what I said..........I'm using luma 10.2.1
