Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Amapola62]

I only use the stable releases...except for that one time where I had to use the nightly to fix some bug with the friend list...

So kind of a noob here but, I succesfully installed all of this and without any errors (yay!)

But I have a question regarding new games. So if I were to buy pokemon Sun or Moon will I be able to launch them without any issues or do I have to wait for firmware updates?

Thanks in Advance

Here you go shadow bro, I don't know why it does that, and I am well aware it's not harmful but it it is nonetheless annoying. :C

I had a similar issue when I updated A9LH. I was using CBM9 as my arm9loaderhax.bin, booting into Luma instantly by default and that happened. I swapped my setup to using Luma as my arm9loaderhax.bin, launching into CBM9 as the start button payload instead, and that fixed the issue for me.

No idea if that helps you at all, but that was my experience with it.

Just look at the guide for installing it, it has a section for updating your a9lh install

Thank you, already installed it, things have become mightly easier in just some months of inactivity on my part. it's amazing!.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to install Luma3DS but i was wondering if i can keep all my games installed on my sd card ? For the moment i use rxtools with the profile exploit and sysnand 4.5.

Thank you.

to use Luma3DS you need to update the sysnand from 4.5. yes you'll keep everything.

what's your full sysnand version?

Why not just download a pre-patched version?

Hassle-free, works every time.

I just fixed my problem...
By removing the cart I had in the cart slot. O.O

How would that affect or have anything to do with the boting process?
@Aurora Wright any insight on this? I'm interested in knowing why would that have any effect.

Just dropping by to give some more details on this issue I had previously.
I remember I ran Uncart as a payload by mistake (pressed X on boot) thinking it was another payload.
I had my GW blue card in the slot at the moment Uncart started, then forced a power off by pressing the power button for some seconds.

This might have been the cause of my black screen previously, as for the exact reason WHY,I'm still unsure of the technical details.

I tried to use CTR boot manager to get to my luma rednand without going through the homebrew menu, but my system just crashes every time I choose Luma3DS. Homebrew menu works from ctr though. Have I done something wrong? I'm told that many others have had the same question recently so it makes me wonder if something didn't break in an update. But naturally, I have no clue what I'm talking about.

@About7fish i would suggest to use this bootmanager: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ctrbootmanager9-clean-start-s.424206/
it works for me with Cobernik and Luma3DS without any problems.
it is faster to configure IMHO and it works perfectly with the newest version of Luma3DS.
if you need further assistant ..... write me a PM
(I think that CTRBootManager doesn't work anymore with the newest Luma3DS version but i'am not sure!)

[BlackJackE3]

Then delete it and tru again

delete the config.bin only ? it will create a new config.bin after i deleted it ? or i have to copy a new config.bin to the folder again ?
sorry for too much questions
