Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[noX1609]

Hey guys just wanted to make sure it was safe to update my 3ds's
I have a old3dsxl that has a modefied secure info A, a blank nnid save, and a modefied local friend code seed B, and was wondering if it was safe to update with those modefied files.(I have a9lhv2 and latest luma stable (6.6))
I also have a new 3dsxl that dosent have those modefied files (It has a9lhv3 and luma stable (6.6)) and my last question was should I update to luma nightly before updating or stay on stable?

Maybe it works with 6.6 stable but i would recommend to better use the nightly version because there are many things included that are not in the stable version.
For the other question i can't help because have no experience with changed files. Don't think it's a problem but just for safety i would recommend you to better wait for someone to answer who has experience with it.

Ok thanks for the info.

Hi,

i had an idea last night: How would it be translating the settingsmenu into german language? Would do it because have much free time actually
And then add a funktion in the settings to select the language you want. Maybe we find people from other country's who translate it to outher languages and at the end we have a multilanguage CFW
The same thing could i also do to decrypt9, hourglass9 und emunand9. It's possible with nearly every Application.

So if you are interessted in helping or if you just think it's a good idea then please let me know so i see that more people are interested in this

If this would be implemented, I wouldn't mind to do the Portuguese translation

 

[grossie8118]

I could translate it to dutch

Ok great so i'm not the only person who would be happy if the config options were in the language that you learned best

Will look at the source code and try to figure out how this could be implemented easily.
But first of all i have to study the source code and how the config menu and file is created.

Will post it here if i get it working.

Hi, I've read a bunch of things on GBAtemp, but I never needed to make an account until now. Anyway, I have an Old 3DS with EmuNAND on rxTools. Since 11.3 patched rxTools, I want to switch to Luma, but I want to run Luma from MenuHax from CTRBootManager, since I don't have and don't plan on getting A9LH. Could someone guide me through how to switch from rxTools to Luma? BTW, my SysNAND is 9.2, and my EmuNAND is 10.5 incase anyone was wondering or if that's necessary to know.

Thanks!

How do I start decrypt9 after closing a gba game?

I press the button I assigned to the payload but I still end up in the homemenu.

Can anyone help me??

I found this video, but it's outdated, so what should I do?

just place the luma3ds.3dsx somewhere and add the 3dsx as an option in ctrbootmanager. Then launch it. That is it. that simple.

Will that overwrite rxTools? And after I update to the latest version of Luma, can I update my EmuNAND to 11.3?

Just delete rxtools files and do this https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Installation-and-upgrade

And yes after you change you can update to 11.3

I get a black screen when booting Luma, any ideas why? rxTools works fine, but Luma gives me a black screen. My EmuNAND is still on 10.5 btw. Was I not patient enough? I powered off my 3DS after about 20 seconds.

Never mind, I just had to try again. So I have the Latest Version of Luma3DS, and I'm running it through MenuHax, not A9LH, so is it still okay for me to update to 11.3? And should I make an EmuNAND.bin backup through EmuNAND9 before updating?

It's always a good idea to make a backup regularly and before you update. Just in case something happens.

I think it's safe, BUT you have to be ABSOLUTELY sure you're on EmuNAND. Currently there is no way to come back even with a backup on 11.3 unless you have a hardmod (unless people figured out how to use DSihax thing to make it restore).

My suggestion would be to follow the Guide for safety and don't use Gateway!

im on latest version of luma3ds (6.6) is it safe to update my 3DS firmware?

As far as I know, yes if you're on A9LH.

Question, I usually stick to stable builds, but since it's been a while, is there any reason to go from 6.6 to the newest hourly? Any/many new features, or for compatibility with 11.3?
Oh, and I have SDless A9LH installed.

No 6.6 works fine in 11.3. There are a few new features in development but if you don't need them no need to update to nightlies.

I haven't found a reason or need to update as well. I'm on stable 6.6 and on firmware 11.3 with no problem.
