Right, so I tested the reboot patches on my New3DS running on 11.4
GBA/DS(i) are officially working on the new3DS with the latest nightly!

I thought reboot patches for memory extended mode games were broken? (haven't checked it out yet)

Latest nightly has fixed it, didn't have to test it until now.

I can't find anything broken or missing. Everything is working from both the SD card and CTRNAND. All features tested on old and new3DS

I have an USA cia of Rythm Heaven Megamix on an EUR N3DS that only boots with "Enable region/language emulation and external .code" and the .txt file inside the locales folder, if i update to the latest hourly release of luma it doesnt work anymore, is it something known to be broken?
The option to do that in the latest hourly It's called just "Enable game patching" and it also hints at custom romfs, so did something changed and i need to do something else to make it work?
i'm on 11.2 BTW

The lazy way: https://github.com/ericjwg/LumaLocaleSwitcher/releases
The path changed back in November.

Added RomFS redirection courtesy of @delebile, changed structure for game patches: language emulation txts now go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/locale.txt, code.bins go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/code.bin, RomFSes go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/romfs

Thanks it works now! i looked at the luma wiki on github but it's still outdated.

The Wiki is for stable builds. The change hasn't made it to stable build yet.

What's the non-lazy way BTW?

What's the non-lazy way BTW?

Write out the file manually.

language emulation txts now go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/locale.txt, code.bins go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/code.bin, RomFSes go to /luma/titles/<titleid>/romfs

Oh i that's what i did lol.
I tought the non-lazy way was to decrypt the game and mod it to change the region or something

Have you tested it with NDS flashcards? R4 failed to load, only black screen. Don't know others.

DSTT was tested on both and is working for me.

Weird... R4 can be recognized but cannot be loaded. I'll try other kernels.

I always try to make sure I test everything before hand. Unfortunately I need to buy another classic R4 to test that.
I can however confirm the DSTT running YSMenu is working.

Not so good till now. I got two versions og R4, hk & com. Test even with/without TF card inside. No loading screen with "Nintendo 3DS" logo at all. Might not be the things about kernels.
