- This happens when I try to launch a game from the cartridge.

Any clue what does this mean?
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 :)
- How do I fix this on PKSM

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

Luma v13.0 on old 3DS XL, is it safe?
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!

What does this mean?
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

Upgrading to larger micro SD Card
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
- Boot splashes causes top screen to flicker for ~15 minutes

Urgent help!!!!the thing is I modded my 2ds and while placing the sd card I placed it in opposite direction and the console won’t read the card anymore and without the boot file on the sd the console is bricked what can I do???
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

So every time I do this exploit in the video below, it keeps giving me this screen. I followed the video instructions so I’m not sure what to do.
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.

hShop-Download caused SD-Card to corrupt
But yeah, custom-install can install games without a 3DS system, it just needs some files dumped from the console: https://github.com/ihaveamac/custom-install

I hacked my 3DS... now what?
Ah, I see. Unless someone can correct me, I've only seen methods that can install games one at a time. Fortunately, you can do a batch install in FBI and GodMode9 where they'll take all the .cia files in a directory and install each and every one with one command. As you can imagine, this will take time to complete depending on how many games you have lined up. A faster method would be to use a PC to install the games with a specific tool. The 3DS CPU and SD I/O speeds are very slow which is why installing games takes so long.

- Hshop on PC

Downloading games from hshop is slow
Use custom install https://github.com/ihaveamac/custom-install Guides are on YouTube
- The longest part.

Faster way to install games on 3ds?
the readme on its github should cover everything

Good/bad idea to homebrew a 2DS for a younger kid?
Yep, this is the github page and this is the tutorial that worked for me, because the github instructions are kinda confusing.

Downloads
Like u/Great_Tumbleweee71 said, using a PC is the only way. The fastest way I know is downloading on hshop on PC, and then using Custom Install to put the game on the SD card. Bypasses FBI and the need to have double the space for the game (CIA+installed game)

Monster hunter 3/4 dlc?
I personally recommend if you're pirating it to just download the extra DLC files and manually install them to the sd. If you want it to be 10x faster, use custom-install, it's a popular program that supports small or large multi-file installation for your 3DS. All you need to do is let the program run after downloading the cias, and then once the program says custom-install-finalize has been copied to the SD, you place it back into your 3DS and open up custom-install-finalize (Homebrew Launcher app) and it'll do the rest for you; once you return to the home screen your games will appear as if you just bought them. DLC of course won't, but still works the same way. I'm a huge fan of this program so I'm fine with going on a tangent, but it's legitimately 10x faster than using FBI for installs of especially larger files. Have fun!
