The answer is to install the dev version of Luma. It has ARM9 and ARM11 exception handlers so you can see in detail where things crashed. Installing dev firmware won't help you debug anything without the corresponding hardware board that licensed developers get, and even then, from what I've heard, it also will not work with retail consoles.

I wanna try having a dev 3ds

There's a leaked 11.4 Dev firmware over at that ISO site. Download that, and use SysUpdater to "downgrade" to that dev firmware.

However, the CIAs are of USA region, so if your 3DS is not already on a USA firmware, use Plailect's guide to region change to USA. (But looking at how you come from the USA, I would imagine you are pretty much prepared anyway.)

It's highly recommended to install the dev firmware while using Luma3DS Dev Build + A9LH, as Luma dev build has a developer mode that is required to boot the Dev FW, if I remember rightly. Correct me if I am wrong, anyone...

And that's pretty much it, I think. BUT MAKE SURE TO DO A NAND BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING, OR DO THIS IN EMUNAND! No end of times was I experimenting and having to restore my NAND backup! ;O;


But to be honest, I wouldn't really go to the trouble of doing it. The only amuzing thing to do while on a dev FW is pretty much the ability to press X + Y on the home menu to display semi-debug banner info... (Also press X + B to change the banner region, so you can view the Japanese versions of banners and stuff...)
Also, your 3DS's firmware version in System Settings displays 0.0.0-0U. :P

  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
