Congrats on the 7.0 release!

Now, if GW would just update their launcher to work on 11.4, I can finally end that stupid, nagging "please update now!" screen that seems to happen every time I open my 3DS now. :ph34r::yay3ds:

when i try to launch homebrew launcher on luma3ds 7.0, it freezes. Going back to 6.6 until 7.0.1 or 7.1 or what so ever's released.

Can some kind member please explain to me what the difference is and whats so special about the new 7.0 update? I have an N3DSXL but I just wanted to know how it works so great for me mainly this hype about sighax support? I also use GW card but that wont work yet I don't think even with this update? Sorry for being newbish about this question :(

May have been answered already, but I couldn't find anything on it.
My friend has an O3DS XL with Luma3DS ver. 7.0. We both updated together, yesterday.

The problem is, unless he dowgrades to 6.6, DS functionnality is broken for him. He's on 11.3 USA, and launching a DS game, or an R4 flashcart, shuts down the 3DS.
It litterally just turns off. Like I said, it DOES NOT happen on 6.6. He's currelty on 6.6 to maintain DS functionnality. I have a New 3DS, and I don't have that problem.

What could be the problem?

Thanks!

Try the hourly build instead.The homebrew launcher only works on 11.4 with the new 3ds right now I think anyways.

Do you have the extracted ROMFS files (and code.bin, if included)?

In Luma settings, you can power off your system.

I believe d0k3 added CTRNAND loading support a while back. You have to have the payloads on CTRNAND in the luma/payloads directory.




well i tried doing the luma/payloads thing in CTRnand and it just acted as if there was nothing there so i am wondering if that support for booting payloads from nand other than luma/arm9loaderhax.bin was ever actually implemented ... either that or there is a luma setting i am missing somewhere .... its not too important for me to make this work ... it was more an experiment than anything
Not sure how it's prioritized. You might have to boot with your SD out to make it load off CTR. You might want to ask in the GodMode9 thread.

Wiki needs to be updated.

They actually go in the CTRNAND:/rw/luma/payloads folder, not just NAND:/luma/payloads.

Hi,
How are you supposed to use a romfs with Luma ?

I mean, does it have to be in a "romfs" folder with a specific name or extension, or has it just to be named "romfs" and to be in the titleid folder ?

Thanks !

Do this: Press L+R+A+UP while booting, then press cancel

Did you download the 11.2 payload and rename to 11.4? I did and it works perfect with latest Luma

Homebrew Launcher work with O3ds also as long as you get 11.2 payload and rename to OLD 11.4

Is it possible for Luma to do something about the stupid update nag? Like an option to delete whatever file does that on Emunand?

Anoughter thing I found is if I set up luma 7.0 through ctrbootmanager it boots right off when I run my r4 card or a injected game.Mabe it's because I'm still on 11.3 or I'm using a old version of ctrbootmanager.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

So the man picks her up, and throws her into the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
