I recently realised that somehow my N3DS XL's cameras (both front facing and rear facing) are not working anymore. Because of this, the QTM process is causing issues. Also:
1. Super Stable 3D doesn't work (says "Super Stable 3D isn't functioning correctly" when I calibrate it in System Settings; obviously coz the camera is dead)
2. When I launch an NDS cartridge, or a DSiWare title (such as TWiLight Menu++), or a Virtual Console title (the GBA VC titles), I get an error screen (refer to attachment for details)
3. The Nintendo 3DS Camera app takes ages to open and even if it does, the camera doesn't work and shows a black screen (further, if I switch between camera modes, the app freezes)
4. Whenever I put the system to sleep mode and then later try to wake it up, it just never does. It remains in sleep mode even after opening the lid and the only way to get out of this is to force shut the device down and power it on again.

Now I understand this is a hardware issue and can only be fixed by replacing the camera or something, but is there a way to prevent the QTM process from starting at all so that I could at least play my NDS games or VC games? The best I tried is to find the TitleID for the QTM system module using 3DBrew and uninstall it using FBI, but that gave me another error screen on boot (2nd attachment for reference).

Nvm, I actually ended up finding a fix. Disabled Arm11 Exception Handlers in Luma settings. This now allows me to boot VC and DSiWare titles without any probs. Also, I can now get out of the forever stuck in sleep mode screen by pressing the Home button a number of times (idk why but it just works). Only thing is Super Stable 3D is still gone and camera is still black, but that's not really a big thing since I rarely do use 3D or open the camera app.
