Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[ihaveahax]

My emunand is on 11.0. My Sysnand is on 4.5. Can I do anything that doesn't involve updating Sysnand?

nope, sorry. you have to update sysnand (which is highly recommended) or use a different custom firmware that supports loading slot0x25KeyX.bin or something.

My current setup is Gateway for 3DS stuff and RxTools on Sysnand for DSi ware and GBA. Both are loaded by the MSET exploit. And I use bluecard to switch which one to boot.

if it's just on sysnand, rxtools will probably still work. I still wouldn't recommend staying on 4.5, but it's your choice.

So yup, rxtools and palantine are your only 4.5 Sysnand options. I couldn't remember what the lowest firmware luma supported.

Edit: I had posted an unfinished post.
Edit2: reinand supports mset but I'm not 100% sure if it's on sysnand, which I don't think so but I could be wrong.

Does AGB and TWL break NTR?
Not possible to use NTR on DSiWare and VC GBA ?

yes because the console needs to reboot to switch to AGB_FIRM/TWL_FIRM

Good night! Im trying to use Luma3DS 5.5, and my problem is that when I try loading Luma from the Homebrew Loader it restarts the 3ds (it flashes a red screen, turns black and restarts the 3DS, which in my case, with the menuhax, loads back to Homebrew Loader). Does anyone know what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? Thanks!

Uninstall menuhax on emunand and unlink nands

I cant get my GBA VC games to work. I have unlinked NANDS, use rednand, have Luma 5.5, havent patched any firm, dont have Arm9loaderhax and I use ctrbootmanager with lesshax to boot into emunand. But everytime I start a gba game, I get the "An error has occured. Please shut off the system and try again" screen. Can anyone help me, I am desperate to play gba games with virtual console. Thanks in advance!

Install the GBA VC on sysnand also to get it to work

At part 3 of plailect guide and I have a problem. Everytime I open luma it's in dusand and not emu. How do you install RedNand???

How do I do it? When I hold L when starting luma to boot into patched Sysnand, it just restarts menuhax again instead of booting sysnand

Boot the GBA VC in emunand

It seems that even with region-free support, manuals for out of region games do not work (like any downloaded via freeshop or CIAngel that use CDN with no region-free patches). Manuals for games that were installed via region-free patched CIAs work fine.

Hi, I'm having a problem with this CFW. I am unable to boot GBA games. I am able to boot Smash, DS, and DSiWare games. I have them installed on my sysNAND.

I think that's because the game is looking for an English manual, but it can't find one.

have you previously installed patched AGB_FIRM/TWL_FIRM CIAs? https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...stalled-a-patched-agbtwl-firm-cia-in-the-past

if using menuhax, is Luma3DS.dat at the root of the SD card?
if using arm9loaderhax, is "arm9loaderhax.bin" for Luma3DS, or something else like a boot manager?

After installing the CIAs, it still doesn't work. I don't have A9LH or a boot manager. BTW, i'm using an O3DS.
