I don't know much abt 3ds homebrew but maybe you have a faulty SD card. Again idk just throwing ideas out there and trying to be helpful!

When was the last time you updated Luma?

Oh not for a while, good idea, I'll try that right now

Worth a shot just to make sure. Let us know and we can go from there if it doesn't work.

If it's something that randomly happens intermittently, that sounds like a hardware problem. Probably not much you can do but back up your stuff as soon as you can and get a new unit.

You could try asking in the Nintendo Homebrew Discord, but I doubt they'll tell you anything different.

why would you post this

why would you post this

I think he was just tryna help man, but anyways the luma update seems to have fixed things, however if it crashes again it's probably hardware like you said, so I hope that's not the case

I expect that's a coincidence. There are lots of people out there running outdated versions of Luma and you would have no difficulty finding people with a similar problem if outdated Luma was the cause. But we shall see.

But as long as it's working again, backing everything up is never a bad idea.

Try running lumas 3ds exception dump parser

I don't believe I've heard of that before. I assume you're referring to https://github.com/LumaTeam/luma3ds_exception_dump_parser . Do you know of any examples of people using it to achieve anything in particular?

So a bit of an update, while the crashes and errors stopped, at one point my 3ds just froze and I had to force it to power off, I assume this is related, would that mean it's a hardware issue or something else?

There's hardly any point in worrying about it if it only happened once.

Did this freeze happen after the crashes and errors stopped, or before?

After but I haven't gotten one since, so unless something happens the issue seems to be resolved, again, thanks for the help

It still happens, I think Kwyjor might be right sadly... welp, there goes my comfort console

Maybe try the homebrew discord, I wouldn’t give up yet. It might be a simple fix.
