Hacking Luma not updating correctly? Black screen with NDS/GBA games? Smash Bros. either

[Sonucais]

Hello, I haven't use my 3DS in years and found out the SD card died so my EmuNand is gone. I'm trying to restore what I had but this time directly on my SysNand. Not sure what to do, I'm having some problems and trying to figure how to fix them.

I've updated Luma with Luma Updater. It's says Current installed version is 6.3.1-5d86828 and the backup version is 10.3.1 (same as git). I don't know why It does not auto install through the updater. My console firmware (11.14.0.46E). Guessing I've Arm9LoaderHack too.

When I try to launch my ACE3DS Plus card my 3DS just shows a black screen and that's all, I've to restart the device. Same happens when I try to play my Smash Bros backup or any GBA game.

Any idea what I'm missing? Thank you.

6.3.1 is A9lh. which you would need to use 3ds.hacks to do the upgrading a9lh to b9s. and then from there you can use the 10.2.1 luma.

This is the exactly guide that you will follow:

I'm stuck right here:

Section II - Installing boot9strap

1. Boot your device while holding (Start) to launch SafeB9SInstaller
   • If you see the luma configuration screen instead of SafeB9SInstaller, simply press (Start), then shutdown your 3DS and try again

The SD is ready but the Arm9LoaderHack loads the Luma menu from the console itself.
I am supposed to remove Arm9LoaderHack?

Please, remove the SD from your console and turn it on while pressing the SELECT button. Tell us what happen

With no SD:

Luma3DS v6.3.1
Press A to select, START to save

Screen brightness, Splash, PIN lock, Dev features
() 6 more options

This is the Arm9LoaderHax, right?

Well, indeed it has A9LH!

Check (again) if you have all the exactly files that the guide suggest. Or better use another clean SD (on FAT32 format) and perform the guide.

PS: Be careful with the "luma/payloads" location (the name of the folder "payloads", because some people used to name it with another inexactly typo, i.e. "playloads" or just "payload")

Ok, this actually worked. It loaded a Luma3DS menu, but this time is version 7.0.5, Going to keep trying to reach that SafeB9SInstaller menu.

Edit: I'm in. Thanks, I'll keep going.

Ok, so now I've the latest Luma version. Tested Ace3DS. It's working. A GBA game I've seems to be working as well (even though it did have a weird display the first time for some reason). Thank you @fmkid and @lone_wolf323
