6.1.2 black screen, does not boot into home menu

[vloeibaarglas]

Issue experienced here: https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/514712/luma3ds_v612_released_bugfixes_etc/d79b34h

Deleted config from /luma. Tried with only Autoboot Sysnand check, tried with GBA splash and Autoboot Sysnand checked. Chainloader and settings menu works fine.

N3DSXL Sysnand 11.0.0-33 U. Latest AuroraWright A9LH fork.

[AuroraWright]

Did you copy the official .bin file on the root or used some automated tool to update? If so download the release from here and try again. It works on my New3DS with 11.0

[vloeibaarglas]

Manual copy. Was on 6.0.1 until a while ago. 6.1.1 works fine (copy to SD, delete config). 6.1.2 doesn't with same procedure. Now running 6.1.1.

[AuroraWright]

Try the dev 6.1.2 version and provide the exception dump from the /luma/dumps folder

[vloeibaarglas]

See attached.

I am having an issue and was wondering if someone can help.When I download Luma, the arm9loaderhax.bin is nowhere to be found where can i find it?

[favna]

Also happens here. Used the 6.1.2 version downloaded directly from the releases. Attached a zip with the crashdump using the (from releases) dev version tried afterwards. Config for regular was

• screen brightness: 4x (i got no screen-init anyway)
• pin-lock: none (i cri over 8 and not 10. muh konami code ;-;)
• CPU clock + L2
• Autoboot sysnand
• Use sysnand FIRM
• display NAND

Model device: New3DS XL EUR Firmware: 11.0.0-33 (clean, no system mods)

This happened to me with 6.1.1. I downloaded the official release directly from here. Deleted config.bin, checked the right options, booted my payloads, but trying SysNAND was a black screen everytime... Until I took out the SD card, pulled it back in and then it worked again. Could this be related to the faster boot implemented recently? O3DS on 11.0.0-33U

[AuroraWright]

Does this work?

arm9loaderhax.bin.zip

[vloeibaarglas]

Yup, the dev version boots. I didn't test any features, but I assume everything is working. Looks like you fixed it.

[AuroraWright]

I don't know why though. Could you also try this?

arm9loaderhax.bin.zip

[vloeibaarglas]

Second upload also works.

[AuroraWright]

Round three (sorry about this, I can't reproduce it on my console). This should crash I think... arm9loaderhax.bin3.zip

[vloeibaarglas]

Third one does crash. In case you still need the dump, but it seems you have figured out the cause.

[Gunblade08]

ok one more issue. On part 3 it says to Delete the 3ds folder from the root of your SD card if it exists. but then to Copy DspDump.3dsx to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card a couple steps down which one is it?

All using 6.1.2 DEV. N3DS A9LH Sys 8.1.0-0J Emu 11.0.0-33J --- Booted properly. O3DS Menuhax Sys 9.2.0-20J Emu 11.0.0-33J --- Booted properly. 2DS A9LH Sys 11.0.0-33J --- Booted properly. O3DS-2 A9LH Sys 11.0.0-33J --- Crashed. crash_dump_00000000.zip

(Edit3) It is probably an SD card error since it disappeared when I changed another SD card, even both SD card have no problem on Windows PC. Reformatting the crashing SD with Panasonic SD formatter (requires FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT - ON) fixes the problem. Do not use any other formatter, such as EmuNAND9 & Windows XP/7's formatter - They are tested unable to fix this issue.

If the blackscreen on non-dev / crash dump screen on dev is caused by SD error, then it's not a Luma issue, but an A9LH issue - A9LH has less tolerance of partition / file error than Windows that make this error happen, I think.

@Gunblade08 if you're trying to notify @Plialect about his A9LH guide, this is the issues page for Luma3DS and a completely unrelated issue to what you're describing. You should post a new issue here: https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/issues

The issue is weird, it seems to be caused by the memory searching algo inside loader (which would be weird as it worked without any issue on the arm9 side for a long time). I also changed the linker script for loader for this release, so let's exclude that at least:

@MelonGx has an unrelated issue

i'm having what seems to be the same issue, here is my dump from bin4 crash_dump_00000004.zip

EDIT: Interestingly, I've found a workaround in my case of holding the 'L' key while booting. that key is not set for a payload, so I'm going to continue digging in the hopes I can assist someone in the future
