Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Bullseye]

So, I have tried the Clock and clock+L2 on Pokemon Y and when 3D is activated the frame rate still drops. I believe that's just poor optimization in the game. I will check the NTR thread to see which games benefit mostly from this.

The wiki is very clear, thanks @Aurora Wright and everyone involved for all the hard work you put into this and you share with us!

It's a shame to see the way some people treat others, specially how they treat the ones who are doing all the work without them asking for anything in return.
For those who read this, if you want something so badly then do it yourself! I don't know how to code so I just check what's around and pick what's best for me. Stop giving deadlines or being impatient and spend some of your time to read and try to understand what they are doing! Have some respect and education.

@Aurora Wright would you be able to integrate the DS flashcart whitelist in some way? thanks!

If you need one of @Apache Thunder loaders to launch your flashcart, it's likely that it can't be implemented via CFW.

The wiki is getting a re-write right now. I'm trying to simplify it for people with bad English skills or people who don't want to read.

Ok, your call. I wouldn't consider "people who don't want to read" an issue. However it's up to you.

I've done my fair share of "hand-holding" people through simple installation and such, just because they refused to read clear instructions.

Omg thank you <3

Actually just banned him since all his posts were useless crap anyway. Please be on the look out for dupes, I'm sure he'll be back for more "trolling".

How do I call upon your powers if such a thing happens?

The "Report" button you can see next to the timestamp under the posts. I'll come with my mighty ban-hamm0r and take care of him

The current version already ignores the whitelist, thanks to the TWL patching that is done.

If your flash card still does not work, then you need to use one of the launchers from @Apache Thunder

I have Aureinand set up such that it goes autoboots from 9.2 SysNAND to 10.7 GW EmuNAND. If I were to turn on the N3DS clock speed options in Aureinand, would those carry over into GW Mode? If they don't, that's fine. I'm just curious as to whether or not it works.

 

[Seita]

I transferred over from EmuNAND to SysNand.....cant remember what UpdatedSysNAND refers to again?

Sorry for the late reply. If not answered already, swapping EmuNand and SysNand gives you UpdatedSysnand.
Then enable these:
Region/language emulation ( optional )
Use developer UNITINFO ( optional )
Show current Nand
Show GBA boot screen

You can also enable N3DS cpu clock (+L2 ) for a more fluid gameplay experience.
I assume you have no EmuNand as I am.

I just came across this:

It may be outdated now, but you always need to be careful...

 

[Shadowhand]

Don't enable this unless you know what you're doing.

You're right, it IS outdated. Even decrypt9 prevents you now of overwriting firm0/firm1.

Thanks so i dont need to enable....

Autoboot sysNAND
Use SysNAND FIRM as default (A9LH-only)

Does using cpu clock (+L2) drain the battery quicker and would it damage the 3ds at all?

 

[Aurora Wright]

@Aurora Wright Is it possible to enable 9.0 FIRM support again?
The option present to use an external FIRM just uses the one for NTR, but I'd like to still use some applications that need 9.0 with libkhax etc.
Would be really great, I replaced the ntr FIRM with the 9.0 FIRM rename to firmware.bin and everything works except games that reboot sysNAND, support for both NTR and 9.0 compatible FIRM would be really appreciated.

No need for that. You can load 9.0 FIRM from CTRNAND of a 9.0/9.2 NAND. NTR is a special case because the developer still doesn't support 10.4 FIRM.

 

[Pacman`]

You're saying, if I try to use Decrypt9 to restore my sysnand to a pre-A9LH state (ie, to a 9.2 sysnand WITHOUT A9LH), that I can't?
I doubt that.

You don't need those two AFAIK. Cpu clock (+L2) would certainly drain battery faster, but only in the way N3ds should work. It's not an overclock, to be precise. So, that's nothing beyond what the N3ds does normally.

Don't enable this unless you know what you're doing.

I said it's optional for a reason, you know.
