Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Argentlan]

I have luma3DS and recently update my a9lh (which was the aurorawright one but a old version) to the one to be installed with safea9lhinstaller
but now no of my DS games or DSiware are booting? what I do? it shutdown if I try

I've tested te miniCFW to FIRM version but already update to aurorawright one, maybe is because of that?


[EDIT]:Install TWL_FIRM-4.0 from that ISO site, resolved

Do I need some new lib or program to compile myself the Luma3DS?
Cause I have everything updated and I'm getting this error:



Thanks in advance

Update your makerom to latest u will have to compile the latest makerom yourself

I currently have Luma 5.5 + menuhax, and looking to upgrade to the newest version. I'm not interested in using one of those updater programs.

I can upgrade Luma just by swapping files on my SD card with my PC right? If so, which files to I swap? Thanks in advance.

You need both makerom and the custom version of libctr that does not come with the default devkitpro package

not a custom version of libctr, but the latest commits. I'm on CTR MAKEROM v0.15 built on March 26 and have no such issues.

@Gray_Jack to make sure your ctrulib is up to date, do a "git clone --recursive https://github.com/smealum/ctrulib"

then cd into /ctrulib/libctru

then "make install"

Yeah, I'm sure
I'm having a seg fault error, it's not the libraries or the programs, it's my OS problem...

I just read you cannot play smash bros with bootmanager installed?

"
If you're using a boot manager (BootCtr9, CtrBootManager9, ARM9Select, etc.) to load Luma3DS, you won't be able to play GBA/DSiWare games, or certain games that need more RAM on the device (such as Super Smash Bros).

• You can disable your boot loader OR
• Change Luma3DS's path (refer to the Options and usage page)."

How come I can play it just fine?

ok, then this should be added to the wiki. I am on new 3ds and have no problem playing smash.

Hey guys, I updated my CFW from RxTools to Luma3DS a while ago and kept my Emunand/Converted or whatever and wanted to update my firmware to the latest for Mario Maker 3DS online.

Buuut when I go into Settings it says Sys 9.9.0-26E and I'm not sure if I should update or not.

 

[naddel81]

Happened to me, too. That is lumas default unfortunately. Boot into luma settings (holding select??? At boot) and select "emu" addition as suffix for emunand and "sys " for sysnand to be on the safe side.

One question , if I play a different region game online (example I'm in Europe , and play an American game online ) does that work , or if I'll do it will I get banned?

It works as long as you're not using the same header as someone else when using a .3dz file from that iso site. While this hasn't actually been confirmed by anyone, people still change their game headers just in case.

.cia dont have a header, do they?

basically it's how Nintendo can tell a game cartridge from another as far as I know.

Right so I don't know how Nintendo checks those.

they don't/can't. they check if you play a game a week early and ban you. as simple as that.

So does this mean i can just play online american games , without a worry?

as .cia certainly. as .3ds on a flash cart... I wouldn't.
