So, I'm planning to hardmod my N3DS soon. Should I install Luma 8.0 + Rosalina or the legacy build without Rosalina? I've heard that Rosalina is buggy right now, but others are saying it's fine. What do you guys think?

I would go with the legacy build unless there is a new release (8.1?) before then. Or you can use the b9s 2.0 build of bootctr9 which can boot both 1.0 and 2.0 format b9s payloads even if you have b9s so you can have the stock 7.1, the legacy build, the latest 8.x release, and the latest 8.x nightly and be able to choose which one you want with the press of a button. You might even be able to use a9lh .bin payloads with it as well but I haven't tested that.

Legacy one on CTRNAND, and Rosalina one on SD card?

I'm not that surprised to read the news with all the disrespectful and ungrateful comments thrown her way. Myself, and the majority of the community fully support Aurora, but unfortunately its the bad apples around here with the loudest voices...
even though i dont uses luma (it crashes and screws with my emunand sometimes) i still support it
Ok, I just had to delete 40 posts. Please keep to the actual topic instead of scene drama.
i was wondering why the thread went from 5 pages to 3

Hmm, what a shame to see developers leaving the forums due to increased toxic posts. Seems like some people still not realize that these guys are doing all of this without getting payed for it, and they are giving us CFW to benefit all the end users. I think people should change the approach and use what we have at our disposal. If, for whatever reason you are not happy with what we have, then learn how to code and make your own changes to the current CFWs. It's not as if other people have not done this already.

So, you don't like Rosalina implementation, or it bothers you being there? Well, don't use it. You are not forced to use it every time you turn on your console. Screenshot implementation is slow and you "lose" 20 seconds of your time? Developers could also ask back the time they spent coding all of that.

Where I am trying to go with this rant is that people need to stop being ungrateful and egoistic towards the developers. Instead of saying: "this thing sucks, it shouldn't be here till its ready and tested" you should say: "wow, this is a great first step. Can't wait to see where it will go from here". Again, you are not forced to use any of this options.

I have finals until Wednesday, hopefully I'll have time then :)
Thank you for the quick response.

A doubt, the process of creating the compilations, is created automatically ?
You will change the settings to create compilations only when there is content (programming code). I say this because I saw in the official page several updates, which were only informative.To do this kind of filter, you would not have to combine, with developers to add the posts, some kind of parameter, not to generate unnecessary compilations.

Using regular expressions, to filter the title of the update to perform the compilation of updates.

SO am I right in thinking everything works on 8.0? Or is it just me? All works fine, including Gateway.
Is there something I'm missing?
I am also not having problems, but other users are facing some errors, this is a technical problem that is affecting certain users.

Note: As the Rosalina menu is new, it is normal to present some glitches. The next updates should fix several compatibility issues.

Even though I choose legacy branch, I still see the same 8.0 release with Rosalina. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Maybe you're confusing the CTRNAND Luma3DS with SD card Luma3DS.

More bug squashing.

So, am I missing something here or can only O3DS consoles boot homebrew from Rosalina entry point? All 3 of my O3DS consoles can boot homebrew fine but my 3 N3DS consoles hang after selecting any homebrew.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.
