Hacking Luma3DS - Noob-proof 3DS Custom Firmware

[Skeet1983]

The issue is that not using region emulation and trying to play out of region games will cause the crash.

Ok. I only have US games on my system and my N3DS is US region. I have not had any crashes yet in 3DS games, but am afraid to try. Worried I will go to save a game and it will crash during that process. So far, I have only had Arm11 crashes when using Libretro Emulator for GBA games.

Ah, nevermind, I thought you were the person who was having issues with Ever Oasis, my bad.

It won't crash in the middle of a game, only when attempting to start it.

If you're having issues with Libretro GBA games, try downloading 8.1 and disabling the exception handlers.

Thanks
How would I disable exception handlers? Also, what would happen if crash again, would it give crash message, or just system would shut off?

It should be a configuration option, something along the lines of "Disable Exception Vectors" iirc

I'm having arm 11 crashes on fire emblem awakening when I'm trying to do the Side Story 1 (after skipping the video).

I tried:

- I tried to disable/enable game patching.
- Tried both USA and EUR CIA versions of the game.
- Tried to disable exceptions (instead of arm 11 crash it says the game stopped working).
- With and without NTR cheating plugins.
- With and without the CLOCK+L2 CPU (Luma options)

I'm out of ideas, I have luma 8.1 with latest b9s

I seem to remember there being some specific problem with Fire Emblem Awakening from a long time ago, but I can't seem to remember exactly what they were. In the meantime, could you send a picture of the crash?

Thanks.

Too bad she left here, would have been nice to come with suggestions. Really like that you can power off the console with Rosalina now, wish that wasn't burried in the menus, a touch button directly on the rosalina-screen would have been a zillion times better, that and a button to toggle wifi on and off...

You can use the Homebrew Wi-Fi Toggle, it turns Wi-Fi on and off. You can download the latest version through the Homebrew Browser. This function would only be useful for users of the old 3DS. I use the Wi-Fi Toggle application in my old and new 3DS, it works perfectly.

Yeah, I've had that as a .cia since forever... never use it though since it's even slower than toggling from within the system menu (which isn't that big of a hassle really, but would have been way better to quickly access and toggle in Rosalina). If this was included into Rosalina there could be a different button-combination from anywhere to activate it, that would probably be the best way to do it, no text or menu displayed, same with power off.

Thanks, I never knew this app exists. My Old 3DS wifi switch is already loose, so this app really helps.

No crashes for me yet on 8.1 with arm11 exceptions disabled. Rosalina has made homebrew great again

How do I disable Arm11 exceptions? Is that worth doing? I am on B9 1.2 I think...

Press Select when you boot your system and disable the bottom option.

You know that the old 3DS has a dedicated hardware button for the WiFi, right? BETTER BLOAT THE SYSTEM /S

Now if it is destroyed, ask yourself how were you able to not take care of one thing?

Yes, you can by restoring an old backup, but why do you want to downgrade back to 11.2?

Did anyone try remapping 3DS buttons to Circle Pad Pro on O3DS with Luma 8.1? Does that work?

cool thanks...I still play some of my games on gateway
and we all know Gateway doesn't boot up on 11.4

I am on Luma 8.0 and I am updating to Luma 8.1stable using the Luma updater. When I click update I get do you want to enable downloading boot.firm on CTR-NAND?

Do I need to enable or disable?

I usually manually update but I'm assuming if you enable it it'll automatically update the boot.firm on your ctr-nand as well as the files one the one on your SD card
