Huh, weird. I wonder if there's a technical explanation anywhere?
Final Update for me, my tools arrived and I fixed everything. As it turns out, the faulty camera was the thing causing ALL of my issues, unplugging it has made everything work again.
Nope because it doesn't even get to that point, just immediate freeze and the Chainloader options are just stuck on the screen with no response to any controls. This is my first time trying it though, so unsure if its related to the DS Mode...
Was curious and tested open_agb_firm, and for me at least it's not working. It just freezes on the chainloader menu and I'm forced to manually power off the device.
Some updates, for starters I found out I can run GBA games through open_agb_firm, only the Virtual Console Injects for that console seem to be broken. I should test the VC injects of other consoles next.
I tinkered around Luma versions and it...
Just wanted to add to this since I just recently came up to a similar situation. It's seems like you did similar things to me and some more. To add to what you did, I had a Nand backup from two years ago that I restored to and even in that...
