Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[DarkenedMatter]

I'm eager to test the new official release of Luma. Wonder when it will come out.

I mean technically this is the official build just compiled as commits are made.

You don't need firmware.bin anymore, the latest commt of Luma3DS restores the dynarec support. Feel free to update to 11.0.

I don't see any new release for Luma? I'm on 5.4 and that is the latest one posted 13 days ago. I didn't update yet to 11.0 even though people have been saying it's safe. I don't have technical skills I have no idea what firmware.bin does or dynarac support. I just managed to follow the guide and that's it!

The latest commit of Luma is always available from here http://luma3ds.ericchu.net/

I think when they say official they probably mean they're looking for a 'release' build. Not everyone wants to be on the latest nightly.

But if you want FW 11 you have to make a compromise!
So DL the nightly build or wait until the next official build will be released and then update to 11.

You can use the latest official release and just use 10.2 NFIRM. No compromise necessary.

I know but in the last couple hours (or better since 11 is released) there are some very interesting changes in the source of Luma3DS

Can also update to latest commit with @astronautlevel s tool

https://github.com/astronautlevel2/lumaupdate/releases

Or you update whatever release you want with this tool: http://3ds.intherack.com/files/lumaupdate_1.2.0.cia
(comes from the link in Plailect's GREAT Guide) from your 3DS Home
(Except the Luma3DS DEV version!)

My 3ds crashes on the scren init with the latest commit of Luma :/ I had to revert back to 5.4 (i'm on FW 11 btw).

EDIT: NVM, it also doesn't want to work with 5.4 now, only blackscreens after screeninit on startup :/ can I get some help?

And the one before the latest?

My setup was working fine before changing to the new commit, now it doesn't want to work even with the 5.3 release :/

Seems to be an issue on your end.
Try to delete config.bin maybe.

Already did it, I haven't done nothing more than change the a9lh bin file and the luma folder and now this is happening :/

It seems like it crashes after screeninit since I have to hold the power button for more than 10 secs in order to shutting off the console

 

[TuxSH]

Other people don't have problems with the latest commit so...
did you try to use a firmware.bin (uncheck "sysnand is updated").

Makes no sense... CTRNAND doesn't get written to, and the only file is written is config.bin. SD FS corruption maybe?

I'm having a problem compiling the last commits, that's the error I get

source/firm.c: In function 'patchNativeFirm':
source/firm.c:376:51: error: 'arm11Section1' undeclared (first use in this function)
         patchKernelFCRAMAndVRAMMappingPermissions(arm11Section1);
                                                   ^

Makefile:116: recipe for target 'build/firm.o' failed

I have ctrulib updated, so what's wrong? How do I fix it?

Thanks in advance =D

Should I try doing a low level format to my SD card?

I'll fix that (you're compiling the dev branch).

Yeah
