Gaming How to install Ultra Moon?

[Skyleft]

Hi. I have not messed with 3DS hacking in more than a year so this is my situation:
I have Luma 6.5 Installed, with FBI, and the ultra moon .cia
what do I have to do now? I don't have any way to boot up the homebrew channel, and after trying to install the .cia of it, it simply gives me a black screen, and installing the pokemon .cia with FBI does not work and stays at 0% forever.

Luma 6.5??? veeerrryyy old newest is 8.1.1

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

do you have B9S or Still A9LH (i assume A9LH since youre using 6.5)

I'm aware it's old but is there nothing I can do with it? It's how I installed pokemon moon after all. Or is my only option to upgrade to 8.1.1?

A9LH is outdated

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

normally it should install

upgrade a9lh to b9s first

Use https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s to upgrade then try installing again

Have you tried find and deleting them in FBI

I followed the guide step by step, but when I insert my SD card into the 3DS and boot it up holding start, instead of getting the prompt to install boot9strap I simply get sent into the homebrew launcher?

try adding an activator to boot9strap

eg "select_b9sinstaller"

Tried with select and it still didn't work

For me those go away after updating the 3DS firmware. If they don't go away you might have accidentally installed titles to NAND that aren't supposed to go in NAND (can only be done with FBI 1.x)

As others have mentioned you should update to B9S, however Luma 7.0.5 still works on A9LH and works with the latest 11.6 firmware and with 11.6 you should be able to install Pokemon.

Tried with select and it still didn't work

How are you booting CFW? Maybe you're using *hax (menuhax, browserhax etc), but that has been obsolete for far longer than a year.

I have a video on updating to b9s watch it @Skyleft

(I have no intention of advertising my channel on this thread, I only want to help)

No, don't suggest video guides. Video guides are a bad idea and as it's your own video that only makes it worse.

But he can see from others point of view how they updated

each black square is a title improperly installed title (sd title on nand or vice versa) if you know what title (try loading the black icon) you can find and delete via fbi. if you dont know then you can ctrtransfer your system lower then update

also sometimes luma patches will hit an unupdated title in your fw (happens if you have ever done a gamecard update) and toss up a black box but a normal update will fix that

 

[Purple_Heart]

normal update dont fix that. if i try to launch it i get luma error: exception type: prefetch abort (svcbreak)
faultstatus:debug event
