Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[GBHAKC75]

http://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/ only server in existence that auto builds nightlys

I'm well aware of that, but TBH I don't really like the implementation. It's basically a script who pulls and build if there's a change.
While I appreciate the work of @astronautlevel and love his site, a real CI tool would be a much more "cleaner" way to handle this as it's specialized in this kind of tasks.

Luma on my EmuNAND does not launch NDS Games, my 3DS shuts down. I tried using the TWL and AGB Patches, but It's still not working.

Ok so very new to all of this. I've modded my Wii years ago and my Xbox but haven't never learned much about the 3ds. I have 2 3ds's that i bought my kids for Chrismas they are both on the 11.2.0-35 U firmware. Can Luma3ds be installed on these or do I have to downgrade the firmware? Both of the 3ds's came out of the box brand new with this firmware loaded already. So looking forward to hearing back from you guys and thank you in advance.

Okay, Jenkins is now up with Luma3DS. I just need to purchase one more domain (as I don't really want to expose my Jenkins users to everyone), configure auto-upload and it'll be up.

Expect other projects soon such as Corbenik.

Here's the guide: https://3ds.guide/
You need an arm9 exploit to use cfw, so downgrade needed. Just follow the guide.

hi all,
Im on latest Luma3ds

few months ago, on previous version, I was able to play GBA games. Today when I try any GBA game my 3ds powers down. Only thing that is different from then is a newer Luma version.
I already downloaded clean N3DS AGB.cia and N3DS TWL.cia (as noted in FAQ) but FBI shows me Install failed on both of them.

please help.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

maybe it will help somebody.
in Luma options i disabled "show GBA boot screen in patched AGB_FIRM" and now everything works again.

Else, on the wiki of Luma3DS: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Lum...-get-an-auto-shutdown-with-gbadsdsiware-games
Maybe it cans fix your issue, and you can keep the show gba boot screen feature activated.

Use the orignal TWL without patches and it should work I had the problem on my SysNAND

Im having the same issue. Using genuine nds carts or my r4 card both dont work. it says an error has occured. Hold down power button to turn off power, then turn on and try again.
Im running latest luma version 6.6 and firmware 11.1.0-34E
Is this a known issue? Any help appreciated.

Have you tried a slot 1 launcher or using a patch to allow old r4 carts to boot if it is a old one?

I'm on 9.2 EUR with latest Luma3DS. What advantages & disadvantages would updating to 11.2 have?
What I'm mostly concerned with is:
- Would kernel hax still work thanks to a9lh?
- Could I easily revert back to 9.2 without losing savegames?

Thanks a lot.

If u go a9lh there so no reason ever to go back to 9.2

Just tried now. No luck. real nds games dont work either not just the r4.

TWL_FIRM error? Try this: "DSi / DS functionality is broken after completing the guide"
