I'm sorry, but I'm stumped. I'm not sure what is causing this, but none of my downloads work in sleep mode. When I choose download later, exit eShop, and close the system, my apps do not download. What is the reason for this? >>
It's a loader issue, iirc.
I'm surprised the issue is still a thing though.

I have a question guys. I just installed the MenuHax Version of LumaCFW, and everything works fine except for my R4. I put it in and Luma recognizes it and gives it a white "Cart", so that obviously works, but It spits an error at me when I launch it.

Well, I looked at the Github Wiki and the troubleshooting gave me 2 .CIAs to install, and when I try to install them through network in FBI I get errors, both on Emu and Sysnand (I don't know where to install them in the first place, the guide on Github doesn't make it clear).

I installed the old .CIA to allow R4's to load a while ago (I'm talking like as soon as it was made possible), and that's probably the issue, but I've never installed anything for GBA games, and even that CIA fails to install. Any help would be swell. <3

Try using this to launch it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/twl-slot-1-launcher-first-custom-dsiware-app.414501/
I can't launch my OG R4 without going through that

Actually, sorry, my AK2 doesn't launch with that one, R4 is this one: https://gbatemp.net/threads/r4-stage2-twl-flashcart-launcher-and-perhaps-other-cards-soon™.416434/

Ah, that's the one I installed. I guess I misunderstood the FAQ for Luma. I guess it only loads the newer DS flashcarts. Thanks though. I appreciate at least knowing someone else is in the same boat.

The R4 one (Second link) should load original R4 carts, but you'll need one of the compatible firmwares on it (List at the bottom of the main post)

I accidentally deleted the .cfg file on the luma folder and now it can't detect my payload for it to update to an specific folder (/anim/arm9payload.bin) other than the default (/arm9loaderhax.bin). I though that was the one that should be deleted, but it was the config.bin. Can anyone send me one so I can update my luma 3ds via lumaupdater cia?

Also, I can't play online as of the 11.0 sysnand A9LH Luma CFW. I can only use the eshop. Don't know what did I do wrong, but people told me to update to the latest hourly, and it was already updated:

before http://imgur.com/tY8VPxn
now http://imgur.com/G51mmyo

Help please. Also, I don't know if this counts in as something that might be affecting, but I was using ctr-httpwn to go online before. Either way, if I want to go online now, I have to use via the homebrew loader and I can play and watch my friends online.

I don't believe there is, however Gateway is releasing something to do with A9LH so if using your red card is a must you could check that out when it releases (I've never touched a Gateway so my answer might not be correct)

Will he lose data or save while downgrading to 2.1 and restoring sysnand?
At the end, will he always have all his data once the a9lh sysnand will be on 11.x ?
