I found it through here:

I downloaded the files but the instructions are confusing. This is what it says:


"
* If you are a first time Luma3DS user, follow [this guide](https://3ds.hacks.guide/).
* Download [my version of Luma3DS](https://github.com/leoetlino/Luma3DS/releases)\* and put the `boot.firm` file at the root of your SD card.
* [**Only** if you have ever copied boot.firm to your NAND] Also copy the new boot.firm to your NAND using a tool like godmode9.
* [Enable game patching in Luma's menu](https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features).
* Create the /luma/titles/`TITLE_ID`/ directory/folder on your SD card (if it doesn't already exist). Obviously, please replace `TITLE_ID` with the actual title ID.
* Copy **code.ips** or **code.bps** (whichever file exists) to that directory.
* (If you want faster aiming, copy **code_faster_aim.ips** or **code_faster_aim.bps** instead and rename the patch to code.ips/bps while keeping the same extension.)
* Copy **exheader_legacy.bin** to that directory and rename the file to **exheader.bin**.

The relevant files on your SD card should look like this at the end:

* SD card root
* boot.firm
* [Folder] luma
* [Folder] titles
* [Folder] (the Title ID you determined earlier)
* code.ips or code.bps
* exheader.bin"


I am confused but I believe this is the sort of file structure it wants right? https://gyazo.com/5b54c5376300077c20b514999f774eee the thing is the restoration file I downloaded doesn't come with the code.ips or code.bps file it tells me to move?


I searched the folder: https://gyazo.com/cc360c67afa3e8ec8e59c4a2b78c4b7d for "code.bps/code.ips" but it's not showing anything. Help please?



EDIT: Iv'e also tried this link: https://www.homebrewgeneral.net/2019/08/majoras-mask-3d-project-restoration.html I tried all 3 versions of the restoration project here and not one of them worked for me. I put all the files in the appropriate folder and my 3DS just crashes and tells me where to see a crash log.

Ok I realize nobody is ever going to respond or help me so i'm going to post something here incase another user comes across it as iv'e gotten the issue fixed now.


The issue I had was the firmware I was using and the guide even says newer versions of Luma have a bug or something that doesn't allow game patching. The guide said to use it's own custom version of Luma which I did and it worked like a charm. I have uploaded the special boot.firm here if anyone is interested: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WRBLquGccKN6rQ0oTH9NmccDj2FMm6UH
