I'll try to make it short
I had Luma3ds on my 2ds
installed majora's mask 3d, it needed an update but before thaat it said that it needed a system update
after the system update it shut down and when I turned it back up it said something like ARM11 an error has occurred
to make it shorter, I looked up a few sites about how to fix it but none worked so I thought that if I format my sd and delete all the files it might 'reset' the system
deleted them, didn't work, despaired a bit and tried to recover the files but it weren't the files I needed
so now I'm left with a 2ds that I can't boot up and an sd card without anything on it
I would just want to know if I can do anything to save the 2ds, I don't even care about the files that were on it

are you on b9s? you may have done a lot of damage by deleting everything. you need the latest version of luma to boot without that error.

gotta say first, I'm an idiot about all this stuff so I might get some things wrong
if I remember right there was something like b9s mentioned when I was installing luma back then
and I didn't know about needing the newest version of luma until it was too late

sooooo... bad news and good news
bad news: the files on my old pc were for setting luma up but not the finished stuff/backup
good news: one of the files was some kind of backup for godmode9 so now I have the 2ds on factory settings
still, thanks for the effort

Hello. I've been having the same issue as well however I haven't deleted anything yet. I'm pretty sure downloading the new version of luma will work for me as well but just in case do I just download the new version and boot it through Godmode or do I do something different in the case that I still have all my files?

Just download the latest version of Luma (v10.2.1), extract the boot.firm (and the boot.3dsx if you will) and put it (them) on the root of your SD card replacing the older one(s).

And, then, if you want, perform this guide:

No need to delete anything, but replacing at much.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • 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.

    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)

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