Hmm, I just found out something, While cleaning out my sd (Deleting un-needed files) I put my sd back into my 3ds, and it boots fine but when I hold L while boot, it says that an old unsupported EMUNAND has been detected. LUMA3DS is unable to boot it...Help? Is this related to menuhax? because i got rid of it. I can boot fine without holding anything and run games but this bugs me.

Edit: When I hold R while boot, it hangs on a black screen. Someone help me :(

It sounds like you still have a 2.1 emuNAND on your SD card left over from the A9LH install.
You can remove it by backing up your SD card and formatting it with emuNAND9's "format (no emuNAND)" option.

I did downgrade, and got everything up and running but i didn't notice it until now, any solutions you can recommend?

It boots fine, but when i hold either L or R during boot, i'm greeted with an error screen or a black screen. If I hold nothing, it works.

Well, On my system settings, it shows that i'm on Emu 11.1.0-34E
Do you have Luma set to boot emuNAND by default? ("Boot sysNAND automatically" disabled)
Did you move your emuNAND to sysNAND when you installed A9LH? It's optional of course, but there's not much point in keeping emuNAND with A9LH+Luma.

How do I fix this? because CTRbootmanager if refusing to work because of this. Unless I physically load up homebrew menu from home and this opens CTRbootmanager

With A9LH you should use homebrew launcher loader CIA or CIA versions of homebrew. There's no point in using menuhax with A9LH. There's also no point in a boot manager .3dsx.
Edit: If you are sure all your data is on emuNAND, you can move it to sysNAND by following this guide: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Move-EmuNAND

Boot sysnand is enabled and I don't don't think I did move emunand to sysnand. I rememember backing up Emunand and renamed it to A9LH as it was importamt, that's what I heard

If I do this, will that clear the issue?

Wait, youre still using Menuhax? Uncheck boot sysnand or flash your emunand to your sysnand

I got rid of menuhax after being told many times. the L trigger no longer loads CTRbootmanager, but instead gives me an error screen saying that the emunand is unsupported.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
