I've run into an odd issue with my new 3DS XL. I modded it a couple months ago, and today a weird issue has popped up...
So earlier today I got impatient while waiting for Universal Updater to open. At the "getting spritesheet" step, I powered off my 3DS, since I assumed my wifi was being fussy and my 3DS just disconnected. After I did that and tried to power it back on, it just stayed on a black screen (with the power LED on). I waited about 5 mins, and no change. I powered it back off, waited a couple seconds, and tried again. The 3DS successfully booted, everything working as it should.
Next I opened up an nDS inject. At first I got a black screen - did the two reboots thing again, and successfully opened the game. When I closed the DS game, and the system was about to soft reboot I was met with a black screen again. Two reboots later and my 3DS is running normally again.
I suppose so far this is just an inconvenience, but I wonder if anyone has any idea what the hell is going on here. One person I've talked to suggested this is lumabug, but I'm not sure. During one of the hang-ups I left my 3DS alone for 15 minutes, no change. Should I try longer? What can I do?
Maybe something to do with the cart I keep in my slot? I always have one inserted, so that the slot doesn't gather dust.
TLDR; I shut down my 3DS while universal updater was loading, now only every other boot up is successful. I don't know what the hell is going on.
