Are the files present in the original RomFS? Adding files won't work due to the nature of the redirection. Send me the game mod if you can (assuming it's legal/fan made).
Same thing to me but... i just put THE romfs file (without extension) on the TitleID Folder.
Won't work, full RomFS replacement was very buggy and was removed in favor of LayeredFS.

Hello guys, so today I got another 2DS besides mine, and I hacked it using the legendary guide. Now that I'm done, I have the console on 11.4 with a9hl and luma just like my main console, using the latest luma hourly on both, the problem is the console doesn't recognize DS cartridges, and even freezes the console. Any cartridge I try on it doesn't show up on the menu, and the console freezes a few seconds after. I try to power up the console with the cartridges on it, it stays on a black screen. 3DS games work fine without any problem. Also, the DS cartridges work in my main 2DS so I dont really know what's going on. Any suggestions ?

EDIT: Solved

I always compile the latest Luma3DS myself and I'm thinking of starting Pokémon again from Gen1, so eventually I will have to insert my Pokémon Platinum(DS) cartridge in the n3DS. Can you tell us the solution if we ever run into the same problem? :)

Hi there, I'm getting some serious stuttering with Dragon Quest 8 (EUR). I'm sideloading the orchestral soundtrack and the custom models, but only the soundtrack is being used at the moment (so it isn't the models causing issue).

The game stutters every few seconds, especially when loading a voice file. Nothing's wrong with my SD card, as I can run the .CIA with the custom content just fine. I just want to use my cartridge.

I can upload a video if that would help.

Thanks in advance

so with 7.0.1 I can boot to EmuNAND again?
Do I need to re-apply the luma settings after updating or are those saved elsewhere?

The problem is my cartridge reader for some reason. The games work fine on my main 2DS but this new one as some problems reading them. 3DS games work without any problem, then i figured out super mario 64 and pokemon platinum work just fine as well, so it's not the cfw / a9hl instalation problem. soulsilver freezes the console when I insert the cartridge, and black I cant read it either but it doesnt freeze the console at least. My R4 doesnt work as well.
What do u guys think of sending the 2DS to Nintendo as it is on warranty ? Should I be afraid of losing the a9hl ? I have it on 11.4 so maybe if i send it without SD card and without any traces of a9hp it will be okay ? Give me your opinions please.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
