It was most likely just a corrupt download of the .bin - When you use LumaUpdater it creates a .bin.bak file (Backup) of the Arm9LoaderHax.bin, So if this happens again just try to revert back to a Backup and you should be sorted.

Actually, the same happened to me just a few hours ago, I was installing a9lh to a friend, after I used Emunand9 to wipe the Emunand partition, after that Luma didn't boot anymore past the config. screen. Actually pressing start to save the config freeze'd the screen, but the payloads worked fine, I updated the a9lh payloads (Plailect guides links to the old payloads) and the console turned fine without the SD card. Thinking it was Luma the problem I downgraded to Luma 5.5 and it booted correctly.

I dunno what could have been the problem, but if somebody else had the same problem then maybe Luma >6.0 might have some bugs that prevents booting in some consoles, if it helps, the console was a USA o3DS on 11.0. Latest Luma works fine on my n3DS by the way.

Not sure if this is why - But on my n3DS I updated first to 6.0.0 normal then 6.0.1 normal then 6.0.1-dev and it went perfectly fine - That may be a way around it? Give it a shot

    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
