Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Omegablu]

You should thank delebile for this feature though

Yeah, but you still deserve credit for the all of the work you've put into Luma3DS.

Ok, hold on. You can use Luma without having to run it over top of the sysNAND? So it is basically like an emuNAND.
My sysNAND is on 9.0 and I'd like to stay there for now. I am using menuhax to boot into Homebrew Launcher, then going to a now very old version of reiNAND.
Can I set up LUMA as a emuNAND and possibly keep the ability to launch either one from the HBL?

Is it normal for a 7 day system transfer period to last 8 days?

I should have been able to transfer my system back 4 hours ago from the time last Saturday that my system transfer completed... But it still says I have a day to wait, which is bullshit.

Question, I did follow the guide with the installation and Luma is running super smooth, but when bringing up the configuration page I seem to be missing the option for region/language emu, and ext. . . .code.

Ensure you have the latest Luma3DS release (6.6)

From the image it is showing that I am running the latest version, and I followed this guide for the installation. https://3ds.guide/

I fixed the issue.When I checked the update, I did the hourly update instead of the normal one. Thank you though and continue the great work.

Did you put arm9loaderhax.bin file root of sdcard?

why do you have to wait days for a system transfer?

Nintendo put this restriction thats why

I wrote a topic going into an issue I'm having on this, but had a specific question regarding updating while I try to fix things on my own. I'm on an old 3DS, and had to do the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer, so I skipped the part that requires the firmware file [Installing Arm9loaderhax, Section IV, step 2]. After doing System Update, my system still says it's on 9.2. Is this normal? As my topic in the boards says, I'm having an issue where Luma3DS nor Save Managers are working, I'm wondering if adding the firmware.bin will fix it, but I'm afraid of it failing and updating it to a point where I can't downgrade again.

Hey guys, I tried to install Luma on my old 3ds following this guide https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...s-full-menuhax-rednand-autoboot-setup.432499/. I could't find the "Show NAND or user string in System Settings" option, so i clicked the most similar one. I ended up with RedNAND apparently uninstalled. Plus, i can't boot Luma anymore, dunno why. when i try, it reboots the homebrew. What can I do?

 

[paulie]

I am at a total loss at instaling the arm9 hax and Luma.
I am on sysnand 4.4.0-10E
I always used Gateway exploit until now (system settings + red gateway card).
I deleted the Gateway files from my SD card.
I downloaded and copied the files from the Luma wiki https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Installation-and-upgrade
I ran the 6.x ROP since I run the mset exploit, got a message it was successfull.
When I try to use the mset exploit I see a modified version of my profile settings, it displays Luma.
How do I proceed from here?????

I cannot complete this step since there is no Luma folder to be found:
To boot 3.x-4.x NANDs, you need to load FIRM from the SD card.
Download this file and rename it to firmware.bin, then this other file and rename it to cetk, then copy both of them to the luma folder.

Nintendo put this restriction thats why

and there is no way we can circumvent this?

 

[Arubaro]

SOON™

Would that work like LayeredFS?
I use NTR only because of that and the screenshots feature

 

[Shadow#1]

Nope unless u can hack Nintendo's servers

Are there any downfalls or issues with running Luma as an emuNAND? Besides the space savings.
Mostly concerned with the ability to update Luma. Seems there have been some issues lately.

Other question is, will both emuNANDs (rei and Luma) share the same installed titles, or will those stay separated?
Just want the newest games that require newer FW and Nintendo servers to be able to connect. For downloading and what not. I rarely ever play online.

I have my reasons for staying on 9.0 sysNAND for now.

yes and yes

Thank you.

Thank you.

1. Nope, but it just takes longer to load and sometimes fails to load so you need to reboot

2. They will share the titles

I tried to get Blue Card working with Luma3DS. I've already done the steps from this wiki: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...-get-an-auto-shutdown-with-gbadsdsiware-games
See the photo for the error.

I was too early. I tried the troubleshooting and it works fine for me now: https://3ds.guide/troubleshooting
