Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[adrifcastr]

Hey guys. I have a question. I have A9LH on my 3DS and I have read the new thing about CTRNAND. I am using Emunand and I am leaving my sysnand on 9.2 FW. Can I install Luma on CTRNAND like this?

first of all, it not new. its what the noobs and most of the people call sd-less a9lh, since it reads the arm9loaderhax.bin out of the ctrnand partition of your nand, what allows payload execution without the sd card inserted.

Well, it is new for me as I have been off the hook for some months. Regardless of that, if it is reading arm9loaderhax.bin out of the ctrnand partition then it means that the arm9loaderhax.bin has been copied to the ctrnand. However can it be accessed in 9.2 FW or does it need another requirement for it to work?

the only requirement is a9lh v3 and a way to copy the payload tothe root of your ctrnand partition. btw you´re in the wrong thread, this one is meant for Luma3DS related questions, yours about a9lh

Ok, thanks. I am not in the wrong thread. My first question implied adding luma to ctrnand.

yes. anyways there is no practical use of emunand anymore.

 

[johanson]

ok it worked I don't know I feel safer with emunand than messing with sysnand. And everything is working

Yes you should be able to do so, but it really is not recommended anymore. Sysnand has better performance, boots quicker and has several other advantages over emunand. Also, since you're on an easily exploitable sysnand, you would just need to backup emunand, install a9lh and then inject it back to sysnand. Really easy.

After update to the latest nightly, title region changing stop working. It works fine on official release 6.6. What's going on? Neither manual txt input or Luma Locale Switcher are working.

Are you putting it in the right place in the right format? It's changed in the nightlies.
language emulation txts now go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/locale.txt

Yes that's it. It seems luma locale switcher and luma wiki need to become updated.

You're using nightly. It's not the stable release. The wiki and the LumaLocaleSwitcher work as intended on 6.6 stable.
If you can't figure this stuff out, you should be using the latest stable.

um, what's the "latest" safe/stable luma update that will work for 11.3?
6.6 or a nightly build?

Well.. I'd love to use the stable version but I'm on 11.3 FW and need to use a nightly because of Homebrew Launcher.
