Is there other files with your hack?

Is there other files with your hack?

There was a "sound" folder that came with it, but I just put it in the romfs folder. I also have a code.bin in a folder for an Alpha Sapphire hack, and that also does not work.

 

[Redferne]

code.bin shouldn't be in romfs but at the root of <titleid>.
Did you enable game patching in Luma config?

Yes, I turned on Luma Patching.

I also meant that I put the "sound" folder in the romfs folder, the code.bin is in the root of the title ID folder.

Well everything looks good then. Sorry no more ideas...
Does it work with NTR?

No, I haven't tried NTR, I have to use a plugin and run NTRSelector, right?

Okay, I've tried making a layeredfs plugin on my PC, but the .bat file won't work. I then tried with OnionFS, but my 3ds gives me an error screen and reboots upon attempting to open the home menu after running NTR.

Is there a .plg file with your hack?
Where did you download the hack?

Ok, I am having some issues with my son's 3ds it is the newer version, it was hacked at release with Reinand and then one of his idiot friends installed another hack that failed, then yet another, then deleted the nand backup I had on his pc. They then ended up installing Luma3ds 7.0.4. So now I am looking to clean up the mess and get whatever that is WORKING updated to the most current and get my safeties in place again (nandbackup). The Emu nand is 9.2.0-20u and I have no idea what the actual sysnand is atm but I think it is the same. I had it setup to autoboot the custom firmware, During this mess the autoboot had a 5 sec timer that allowed us to boot to homebrew launcher or the cfw - which now is a 1 sec timer and the homebrew launcher no longer works.

What advice do you offer?

At this point you might as well start from scratch.

Firstly, see whether you have menuhax or A9LH. Take out the SD card. Hold Select and turn the console on. If it goes to the normal home menu, change the theme and start from the beginning of https://3ds.guide. If you see the Luma config screen, and the version is 7.0.5 or less, follow https://3ds.guide/a9lh-to-b9s

Ok to boot into the custom firmware you have to hold the R and it then boots the version of Luma they installed. Should I delete the sd card and then start from scratch?

Change the theme then start the guide from the beginning. You can delete the contents of the card after if you like (leave the Nintendo 3DS folder if you want to keep your games and save files).

UPDATE 9.0


https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases/tag/v9.0

Here's our holiday gift to you

• Use open source reimplementations of the SM and PXI FIRM modules
• Fixed breakpoints in the Rosalina debugger (thanks @Nanquitas)
• Added RAM viewer/editor/dumper feature to Rosalina (thanks @LiquidFenrir)
• Rosalina now cleanly reboots the console when the option is selected
• Fixed Rosalina screenshots for RGB5_A1/RGBA4 framebuffer formats (used for example in Virtual Console titles)
• Stubbed isTitleAllowed to allow Nintendo-blocked titles to launch (outdated Ironfall/Flipnote Studio 3D/etc)
• ARM9 exheader and FS patches are now always applied as they cause no drawbacks
• Throw an error if file writes or emuNAND boot are attempted while the SD card is write-locked
• Display boot source on the bottom screen in the config menu
• The console will now shutdown when the shell is closed in the Luma menus, unless the user booted via ntrboot
• Numerous Exception Handler fixes
• FatFS updated to v0.13
• Check if NWM is running before allowing WiFi toggling in Rosalina
• Screenshots are now sorted by date/time using osGetTime, removing the counting delay if the user has a lot of screenshots, thanks to @Hayleia!

Note: BootNTR is broken in this version, unless you use the latest commit (not release!) from this repo: https://github.com/Nanquitas/BootNTR

Notes on the changes made to Rosalina's debugger:

• The physical memory access "bit31" mapping (0--0x30000000 => 0x80000000--0xB0000000) as well as privileged (kernel) mappings confuse debugger clients like IDA's which interpret the value of the registers. Access to those mappings can be toggled using "monitor toggleextmemaccess" instead (issue reported by @Nanquitas).
• Additionally, support for the buggy IDA 6.8 gdb client was removed. Please use IDA 7.0 or higher.

P.S: IDA 7.0 added client support for no-ack mode (Debugging options > Set specific options), which should be enabled to make debugging twice as smooth. "Use stepping support" should be unchecked.

YAY new release. new stuff and stuff.

Can anyone compile the latest commit for ntrboot selector Please.

 

[Dante2405]

I though this version was supposed to offer the possibility to control screen brightness like NTR use to do?

I've got NTRBoot selector 2.9 and it works with Luma 9.0 on my N3DS.

the github says it breaks the latest bootNTR. Only the latest commit compiled would make it work. You didn't have to do that?

How did you get it to work. All I get is a generic error. And forces to reboot

Someone compiled it and for me it seems to work.

Didn't do anything. Updated Luma with luma updater. Launch NTR selector out of curiosity and it works. Launched Mario Maker and activated some cheats to be sure.
Selected NTR 3.6 fyi.
