Homebrew It’s been a while, help using Luma

[newgen2005]

I installed Luma ages ago on my nephews 3DS XL . He asked me to put some more games on it for him. I took the SD card out and popped it back in after copying something over to the cia folder. When I put the SD card back in the 3DS just boots up as normal, am I missing a step? Don’t see fbi or any other games that I installed, he has been using it since I originally installed Luma so it’s not him to blame. If I restart console holding start I get Luma menu.

What am I doing wrong?

This kind of issues happen with slow/corrupted/faulty SD cards.

Try the following:
1. Copy all the contents of the SD card to your computer.
2. Format the SD card to FAT32.
3. Copy everything back to the SD card.

Hopefully this will fix it.

Thank you.

Just to ask one more thing, should the 3DS just boot into Luma or do I have to do anything?

I'm not sure what you mean with this, since CFW is installed, Luma3DS always boots. (If boot.firm is not found in the SD card, it is read from the internal memory.)
