I feel like a huge fool, ive been reading this long thread and will continue to read but I am a black screen user, installed from FBI with CFW The readme file I currently see at the github is this
"
This is the official repository of Sunshell, first multifunction shell for 3DS.
NOTE: Here you'll find only LUA scripts. Scripts run under lpp-3ds so if you want to use latest commits, please grab latest commit of lpp-3ds from main repository ( https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-3ds )."

I have tried to place the lpp-3ds_r5 toolkit installed in a few locations but have deleted them all and wanted to see if there was a different readme file I was missing... am I looking at the wrong readme file?

I seriously have no idea...I just can't get it to work. I followed it to-the-word, but still, the CIA gives me a black screen. N2DSXL 11.6U. Please, somebody help. New system versions unsupported?

it's only worked for me on my O3DS with 9.2 and Ninjhax 1.1. But it's a long time ago...
anyway... this homebrew is no longer supported

You're not doing anything wrong. Sunshell isn't compatible with newer hardware and newer system versions. Downgrade your kernal, NATIVE_FIRM, and system version and then perhaps it'll work.

You'll have to downgrade your 3ds' system version, which is far too much of a hassle for the sake of Sunshell, just give up on using it, it isn't maintained anymore and isn't worth the hoops you have to jump through to get it to work on modern system versions.

You need to have "index.lua" and "config.sun" files in the root, and if you have the "sunshell" folder inside "3ds", in your "config.sun" it must say:

main_dir = "/3ds/Sunshell"

I don't know about New 3DS, but in my updated old 3DS it works...

Doesn't work on my n2DSXl, I'll test it on my o3DSXL though.
 
Can confirm it doesn't work on o3DS XL after following the steps correctly with the latest firmware, I tested both ".3dsx" and ".cia" versions. Organiz3D however still works although it is an outdated fork of Sunshell. Someone should revive this project, nothing compares to the fluid UI and file format support of Moonshell 1 and 2. We need a real successor to MoonShell 2, darn it!
