Updated to the latest Commit of Luma, now, when i start my console, it freezes @ the Boot Screen (not animated, just an custom boot screen)
Why's this?

Happened to me too, just go to the second newest commit or whatever. I tried on 3 different 3DSes, same issue all around, and I know for sure none of them were downgraded by Gateway stuff (otherwise I would not have been able to use commits before like some from 05/09).

Was just going to post:
- Reverting back 2 commits: '03dc4fc' does work fine on all systems

 

[Kamui]

uh i was about to try the latest commit, thanks for the report guys

 

[weks]

just updated from ARN 4.2 to Luma 5.4 commit 03dc4fc, all working smoothly + it seems the boot speed is significantly faster WOW

 

[pbanj]

Can confirm newest commit is broken. I can stare at my splash screen though which is nice.

 

[DjoeN]

Get latest commit '6adb6e6' fixes the black screens boot problem

 

[AlucardjX]

Installed last commit but it slows down my boot screen(3 more secs. approx)reverted to stable one for now

 

[Localhorst86]

now i have upgraded to a recent nightly build of luma3ds. The spalsh screen now stays on longer. i have the feeleing that this actually delays the boot times, is my hunch right?

Indeed: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/commit/d2f53626aece4e35ec09f29dbd7cd771ab218587
"Splash screens now last 3 seconds after they have been loaded."

Same situations here,is why i've reverted to stable one for now

 

[Localhorst86]

yeah, i figured it might do that without delay, but i just deleted the splash screen, indeed it boots 3seconds faster. gonna live without boot splash, then.

Intresting point!

 

[TuxSH]

I made the splash last exactly 3 seconds.

 

[Localhorst86]

I made the splash last exactly 3 seconds.

yeah but i assumed it would take these 3 seconds from the time it was displaying a black screen anyways. but sincenit elongates the boot time i rather live without a splash.

Not a critical question, just informational: Currently running New3DS 10.7U sysNAND w/A9LH and Cakes v138 + NTR firmware.bin. Let's say I switched to the latest release of Luma3DS and then updated to 11.0. Would I lose access to BootNTR? Based on what I'm reading, even if you run A9LH + NTR firmware, you still lose access to svcBackdoor on ARM11, which means BootNTR won't work. Recent commits of Luma3DS fix this, but you have to compile it yourself. (edit: I found that guy's page that compiles all the recent commits of Luma3DS)

Is this correct?

Nope, to use NTR, you use the 9.6/10.2 firmware.bin file, which have svcbackdoor, etc... and compatible with NTR.
