To whomever it may concern,
I installed ReiNand on my N3DS XL back in February 2016, and separated my sysNand (firmware 9.2) and emuNand. I was able to upgrade reiNand's firmware to 11.2.0 on my N3DS XL, but I googled if I could simply update to 11.3/11.4 and I found threads all detailing that I should ditch reiNand and upgrade to Luma. I have never switched CFWs before so I just would like to make sure I do not mess up my N3DS XL.
So, I read several threads that say all I need to do is download Luma, and replace my reiNand folders. However, I installed Luma3DS v8.0 right now, and all I see in the zip file is: /boot.firm and /exception_dump_parser.py. Where would I place these in my sd card (like which directory?).
(I am certain that this is a very Noob Question): I have been using menuhax to boot into reiNand, from my understanding Luma3DS will not require menuhax. So do I need to take any steps prior to replacing reiNand to assure that menuhax doesn't allow Luma to load?
(Would just like to assure this statement is true): Also, I use FBI to install .cia files. And from my understanding, installing Luma should not corrupt or ruin any of my saves/games I have installed because the games are tied to my emuNand and not the CFW.
Please let me know if you need any more information. I have researched this for a few days, and I just really want to make sure I do not mess up my homebrew/3DS.
