Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[ombus]

well i read this guide https://3ds.guide/ and i can... but then i think about updating sysnand and i tell myself to stay with what i have xD

 

[naddel81]

its necessary to have arm9loaderhax to update to boot9strap to still have luma updates ? i have menuhax on 9.2 with latest emunand.

I have menuhax, too. Why change an running system?

I also have a9lh. No huge difference. Keep it that way.
I couldn't care less for luma updates since the 3DS is dead for good.

Just made a custom B9_MAKER.7z for batch exploiting several 3DSes.
It's only 2MB!
A9_MAKER.7z is 710MB!

Seems that the latest nightlies are still all empty. As in, no .firm file.

Yes, the owner of the nightly site has said that the process to build the new versions of Luma has changed (which is why the newest nightlies are empty) and should be fixed soon.

Why the massive gap in file size?

You can boot luma 3ds without a sd card right.
(Learnt of tcpixel's video)
So I was wondering how did he have small games play straight off the nand?

Yes, that would be called a CTRNAND-based installation.
Mind linking this video? I don't understand what you mean by "small games."

I mean small games by in size so not a 1gb game only a 10-40mg

If I understand correctly, the only games installable to NAND are DSiWare games. Everything else is on the SD Card.

This is true. You can only install TWL titles in CTRNAND. The system itself gives you some free space to install DSiWare.

Ok

Trying to compile latest Luma3DS, but getting this error:

make: firmtool: Command not found

I suspect I need the latest makerom.exe 64-bit.
Anybody have it compiled?

Thanx

You shouldn't need to compile it. There are releases, you know.

I like to make my life complicated

Do I just need the Show NAND or user string in System Settings” enabled now, or do I have to enable other options? Like clock +L2 ?

R.I.P EmuNAND9.

This is discontinued. While it most likely still works for everything that you want to do, bugs will no more be fixed and new versions will not come. Use GodMode9 instead, which is a superior alternative to EmuNAND9.

 

[Amapola62]

Can I change my localfriendcodeseed_B with Godmode9? and if so how?

Clock+L2 is optional, it improves performance in a large number of games but drains the battery much faster.

Just enable Show NAND or user string in System Settings.
