Luma3DS VS TWiLightMenu

This looks like an error with Luma3DS. You’ll need to manually update Luma again. Make sure you’re following this tutorial: Luma3DS GitHub. I’ve had this error before and it was fairly easy to fix :)

Replace Luma files on your sd card, boot.firm and boot.3dsx. You can download them here.

I have an old 3DS XL thats has been modified, and i was about to start the process of updating the console to firmware 11.17.0, by updating Luma first so it does not brick. But the first thing i've seen when getting to the Luma github page is a reported issue saying that last release of Luma (Luma 13.0) makes their 3DSXL console not even starting the HOME menu. Is it save to upgrade to Luma 13 having an old XL? I only have GodMode9 and i was about to upgrade it to last version (v2.1.1) as well. Thanks!

First step, download the latest version of Luma 3DS ( just click on the .zip file, should be the top one when you scroll down ) , then extract it to the root of your SD card as explained by the guide

You could make sure you have sysnand by enabling "show NAND or user string in system settings" in luma settings. (Hold select on startup). More info here https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features

Solution? Get any compatible, temporary SD card and put the latest Luma3DS files on it -- it's just two files! boot.3dsx and boot.firm

Download the latest version of luma3ds from here, extract the zip and copy boot.firm to your microsd card and see what happens. You should have version 12.1.

Use Twilightmenu for NDS https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases

Hshop is basically the only one and has all 3DS games. If you're looking for NDS games you need twilightmenu with roms from somewhere like vimm's

DS games can be loaded on a 3DS via a program called TWiLightMenu. If you need help with installing and using it, make sure to read the available documentation. If after that you still need help, ask in more related subreddits, i.e. r/3dshomebrew or similar.

If you're running AMCS on the DS with an R4 card, autoload the TwilightMenu++ with NDS-Bootstrap, as the official R4 firmware doesn't cleanly launch homebrew. - TwilightMenu++

If you've got a 3DS / DSi, there's also the option of using homebrew to play DS roms on it...then you're essentially playing PMD on native hardware! Look into TwiLight Menu++ (3DS will require loading custom firmware such as Luma3DS) if you're interested.

Find the game as a rom, put it into your roms folder on your SD card, (should be /ROMS/GBA), install TwilightMenu++, an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface.

TwilightMenu++ is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. This should let you run NDS, NES, and SNES games without any additional plugins.

Alternatively, you can use TwilightMenu++, which is an application for the DS&DSLite (via the r4 flashcart) or the DSi/3DS (via CFW). When opened, it looks and functions like the DSi menu. It allows you to access and play Roms via a prettier interface. However, I don’t like using it on the 3DS. If yours is broken, try downloading it again from the Universal Updater app or try this.
