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.

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

    and now with the rtx video upscaling, and sdr->hdr conversion, even more reason to go nvidia
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    both of which work well in potplayer
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    amd is a bit cheaper though
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Year not yard lol

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
     +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
