Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

I'm guessing that's the limit can't have a U on the end?

The limit is 19 characters counting the '%' in '%d' or '%ls'

What does %ls do?

What does %ls do?

%ls would be region in this case. though you need all of the digits for that to happen.

the base is this. 19 characters, no longer, no shorter. if you want one shorter, add spaces to the beginning.

Ver. %d.%d.%d-%d%ls

Guess I'm happy with it now

 

[Noelemahc]

yeah man you're good to go just make sure your nands are unlinked

Great, thanks!
(of course they're unlinked, I'm paranoid like that, and the "no homebrew" thing is moot since I can load those from MenuHax, so yay!)

U only ever need to unlink if u use menuhax and no other reason ever

Though you should really consider moving to a9lh... It's really faster and better. I was on emunand with menuhax for around 2 months until I decided to move, and don't regret it at all, done to 2 other consoles in the same situation. Also, didn't lose anything, since I updated and backed up emunand first, and then restored it into sysnand when I was done with a9lh configuration. And, let's not forget, when I did it Plailect's guide was considerably longer!

Why did I even write the wiki? :/ https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...-downgraded-from-the-gateway-menu-in-the-past

The maximum is 19 characters, and you don't have to change the %s, you can remove some of them if you want though. As an example " Ver. %d.%d-Luma3DS" yields " Ver. 11.1-Luma3DS"

Noooo, cooler version string stopped being a valid reason to switch to Corbenik.
/s

Cool stuff though

How often do you guys actually go into the system settings to see the version string?!

Hum... More than once a day maybe?

Do you gaze at it wistfully while whispering sweet nothings in the 3DS mic?

I'm still holding out for the day Luma will support 2.X firmwares so the entire process becomes brick-safe. Or simply enough time to run through the whole thing in one day, whichever comes first.

Luma already suports ver. 1.x and 2.x

On both branches:

• 1.x and 2.x NATIVE_FIRM are now supported on SysNAND with the FIRM writes patch, this allows you to update retaining A9LH on every system version.

•

Wait, does this mean you can get OTP via emuNAND without risking anything? Jawsome!

no, you still need to go to 2.1 sysnand.

Not at all. The OTP is locked before going into EmuNAND afaik.

Is this a limit of region/language emulation feature?

There are some official Traditional Chinese games use system fonts of TWN region system,
and if I play them on JPN region system even enable that emulation feature (TWN ZH),
the text in these games is still not able to display correctly, missing some characters.

Thanks and sorry for my English.

I'm sorry, I set language value wrong, it is TWN TW instead of TWN ZH.

I may have A9LH and Emunand Luma on a single 3DS. See possible how do I create Emunand'm with my Firmware 11.1.

A question I can delete the file from 2.1.0-4U files9 folder or should I keep it in the directory.
The installation process has been completed.
Just think necessary to leave the nand.bin because any problem I can use it to fix.

You can delete the downgrade Files but keep the backup

Regarding the custom version string feature: Are there any other variables I can specify besides %d and/or %ls? If so what are they and what do they display? I tried looking at the source for that commit to ascertain but couldn't. Though I did figure out the requirement that it be less than or equal to 19 chars. I myself am not a developer but sometimes things are obvious enough by reading the source. This one isn't though. Does some 3DS library create those variables or something?
