Yeah, it doesn't work on the latest 3ds firmware by default, but A9LH patches the DS cart whitelist so it works again.

Omg. May i ask what size Micro SD card you have? I think there was a limit of 8g or something like that on the R4, I was thinkging about getting a 32g if that will work?

The blue card can use up to 32GB from my experience. Technically it can also use SDXC cards if you format it to FAT32.

I have a blue Card Gateway

blue Card




Putting this here as it deals with Luma 3ds and something other CFW's may or may not be interested in.

My current setup is a O3dsXL with a9LH and Luma 3ds cfw. Simple question:

I have a blue Card Gateway and normal Gateway as well. What are my options on playing GBA games on my CFW or Blue Card. Which has better performance. The Game in question is a rom hack of Pokemon Fire Red. I only have access to a Mac not a PC.

But to answer your question - Luma3DS loads AGBFIRM from CTNAND so just use Simple GBA to CIA converter found on this site

I want to install gba .cias on my sysNAND, for I'm using emuNAND, but my luma3DS 6.2 autoboots into emuNAND and I can't boot into the homebrew launcher on menuhax. You guys know of a way to get access to HBL?

Try holding R button (or L, i forgot) when booting luma3ds.
Or you can hold select while booting and select autoboot sysnand to boot sysnand and then turn it back off after you finished your business.

I dont have a way to install gba cias on sysNAND, because there's no FBI-injected Health and Safety. I considered re-installing menuhax through browserhax to access hbl on sysNAND but it just throws me to the Luma autoboot and I'm in emuNAND again. Thanks for the quick reply, btw.

Then you have to inject FBI to sysnand, or you won't be able to install anything. You also need to to have luma on sysnand since fbi cannot install without signature patch.

Alright, I'll see what I can do about that. Also Happy New Year everyone!
 
VC or emulator or both.
For ex(about VC),I wanna play yellow.So I downloaded the legit CIA of Pokemon Yellow[ U ] from ******.Then I'll be able to play it.
Highly recommand legit CIAs,if u rn't able 2 play the game,just go to the eshop to redownload it to fix the problem.It's as if u've bought it before!

Emu stinks on O3DS.
