Hi,
I have a question about luma option of patch for ARM9 access. What's this option for, should I turn it on by default?
Cheers,

Look like I can't make Rhythm Heaven Megamix USA version work on JP O3DS (using title key from the bought one on my US N3DS).
Both With language Emulation enable and disable.

I think you forgot to update to the new Homebrew Launcher boot.3dsx (https://github.com/fincs/new-hbmenu/releases/latest)

Still did not fix it. in fact, I SHA'd the boot.3dsx i used and the latest one and it was a match so I was using the latest one in the first place.
This problem is still not fixed when using the latest SVN build of Luma also. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I must be missing something New3DS related if it works on my O3DS's and other people's N3DS consoles.

It seems that I can only directly launch homebrew via Rosalina on New3DS consoles by renaming the homebrew to boot.3dsx and launching it. running any homebrew via the new homebrew launcher causes it to hang the whole system and allows the rosalina menu to open once then any other attempts will cause the screens to have lines on it.

This only happens to me on New3DS. any old3DS consoles i got work fine launching stuff via the new homebrew menu.

Would you mind going to the Discord that Aurora linked (https://discord.gg/MjzatM8) and asking for assistance there?

that happens randomly when using certain apps to load the hb menu, for example on my EU 03ds H&S app works fine to load hb menu, but if I use H&S on my JP n3ds it freezes the system when trying to load any homebrew (.3dsx)
solution use another app as hb title, like AR game or Download Play.

This was the problem. on my O3DS consoles, i can use Face Raiders to launch homebrew via the menu. on my N3DS consoles, Face Raiders fails but eShop works. I will probably make a list of which apps work for which console sometime later today or this week depending on if I have some time to spare.

New3DS 11.4 (NA region, others may differ)

Face Raiders: boot.3dsx works, HB menu freezes launching stuff
eShop: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
System Settings: does not work at all since System Settings triggers an MCU reboot
Game Cart - Pokemon Sun: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
Nintendo Zone: does not work at all since the "service discontinued" message prevents launching the app
Nintendo 3DS Camera: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly | Will crash if camera is broken
Nintendo 3DS Sound: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
Health&Safety: boot.3dsx works, HB menu freezes launching stuff
Download Play: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
Mii Maker: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
AR Games: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
Mii Plaza: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
Activity Log: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
NNID Settings: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly | WARNING: WiFi needs to be ON for this to work
This one allows clearing Home Menu cache with Cthulhu since the home menu is unloaded

Old3DS 11.4 (NA region, others may differ)

Face Raiders: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
eShop: boot.3dsx works, HB menu launches stuff correctly
System Settings: does not work at all since System Settings triggers an MCU reboot

Nintendo Zone: does not work at all since the "service discontinued" message prevents launching the app
