If you have B9S, there's a boot.firm file on the root of your SD card. Luma3DS is a CFW. B9S is an entrypoint for the CFW.

So, if no boot.firm on the root of your SD card, then you have A9LH: https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s
If there is a boot.firm on the root of your SD card, then you have B9S and can update by simply downloading the latest version of Luma3DS https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v9.1, extracting the boot.firm file and putting it on your SD card, overwriting the old one.

After you figure out which method you're using, and then update to the latest version (if you're on A9LH still, update to B9S) of Luma3DS, you can then update your system to latest firmware.

Latest entrypoint is B9S, which can be loaded onto any 3DS model via certain DS flashcarts. There are also other free methods for going from stock to CFW. All in the guide I linked you to.

Hold (SELECT) while turning on the console. On the top of the upper screen it will say
Luma3DS v??? configuration

At the moment v9.1 is the current version
Luma v7.0.5 or older: A9LH→A9LH to B9S
Luma v7.1: Old version of B9S→updating B9S (simply replacing boot.firm will result in an error message)
Luma v8.0 or higher: newer version of B9S →Replace boot.firm (or do updating B9S anyway to copy the new firm to CTRNAND)

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:

    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?

    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
