* The creator of the plugin may have already created a folder with the correct name for you, in which case you can just copy the title ID folder from the plugin's zip/rar/7z archive to the <tvar name="11"><code>plugins</code></tvar> folder
* If you want the plugin to run for ''all'' games (for example, for the CTRPluginFramework blank plugin), rename the plugin to <code>default.3gx</code> and just leave it in the <tvar name="12"><code>plugins</code></tvar> folder

This template's doc contains an inexistent template visibly about this template being deprecated and replaced by [[Template:Clickable Button]] which does not exist either ? Should this mention be removed then ? [[User:Cominou|Cominou]] ([[User talk:Cominou|talk]]) 02:52, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Ihaveahax: clarification regarding AI

<languages/>
{{Shortcut|HGW:DC}}
<translate>

The Hacks Guide Wiki is still being made and the kinds of content that fits on the site is still being decided. However, certain kinds of guides or resources are prohibited.

== Piracy == 


Tools and websites used to access and download copyrighted content are not allowed on the Hacks Guide Wiki. Do not post guides on how to download paid games for free. Do not link to pre-patched ROMs. Do not link to or post guides on how to use private SDK tools by Nintendo or any other developer. Do not post information on how to find, download, or use leaked software or other content not officially released.

== Cheating in online games == 


Do not post information on how to cheat in online gameplay.

== Bypassing network restrictions == 


Do not post information on how to bypass network restrictions (also known as unbanning) put in place by Nintendo or other publishers.

== Tutorials for outdated or dangerous setups == 


Tutorials and guides on how to set up an outdated setup are not allowed. This includes but is not limited to setting up menuhax, arm9loaderhax, rxTools, CakesFW, and other similar long-superseded setups. Tutorials on how to [[Special:MyLanguage/Downgrading|downgrade the system version]] without a reason (such as on 3DS) also counts as a possibly dangerous setup with no benefit. Whether or not a guide is "outdated" is usually determined on a case-by-case basis, but we understand it to be (in the case of 3DS) anything that does not work on a boot9strap setup.


This does not include guides on how to move away from these setups to a more modern one, which may or may not require using old tools to do so. This also does not include informational articles that are ''not'' about how to set up or use them.

== Non-Nintendo guides == 


The Hacks Guide Wiki currently focuses on Nintendo consoles. This wiki is administrated primarily by the Nintendo Homebrew server on Discord, whose expertise is largely the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, and Wii. Guides for PC games, Xbox, PlayStation, mobile games, and others wouldn't fit here, since we would not be able to provide the same level of support.


Consider instead [https://consolemods.org/wiki/Main_Page ConsoleMods.org].

=== What about PlayStation Vita? === 


The hacks.guide domain also hosts a Vita hacking guide at vita.hacks.guide, but it is managed mostly by people outside of the Nintendo Homebrew server on Discord. Since our experience is Nintendo consoles, this is a Nintendo-focused wiki.

== Game strategy guides == 


This is a guide about hacking and homebrew. You should instead consider posting your guides to [https://strategywiki.org/ StrategyWiki] or [[wikibooks:Wikibooks:Strategy guides|Wikibooks]].


The status on strategy guides and tutorials for playing game mods/ROM hacks is undecided.

== AI-generated content == 


Content generated by "artificial intelligence" is strictly disallowed. Do not publish text, images, videos, code, or anything else that has been created or modified using generative AI. Examples include, but are not limited to, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, or DALL-E.

3DS:Dump titles and game cartridges

2026-02-24T02:00:35Z

Ihaveahax: move "Dumping an installed title" to be next to "Dumping a game cartridge"

{{hatnote|1="3DS:DUMP" redirects here. For dumping system files, see [[3DS:Dump system files]].}}
{{TOC right}}{{info|text=For support (in English) with GodMode9, as well as help with scripting and to get updates and info, join [https://discord.gg/BRcbvtFxX4 GodMode9 on Discord].}}

Aside from creating and restoring NAND backups, GodMode9 has the functionality to dump installed titles to an installable <code>.cia</code> file, to dump game cartridge data to a <code>.3ds</code> ROM file, and to directly install a game cartridge to the system.

== Updating GodMode9 ==

{{info|text=These instructions are written for use with GodMode9 v2.0.0 or later. If you have an older version of GodMode9, follow these instructions to update it.}}

=== What You Need ===

rverse is a [[w:Miiverse|Miiverse]] clone which aims to restore functionality for Miiverse on 3DS and Wii U. Due to the Nintendo Network shutdown, Nintendo is no longer issuing auth tokens to Miiverse. As a result, rverse is no longer functional, however an update is planned to be able to access rverse through the [[Pretendo Network]]<ref name=rvshutdown />.

<div><h2>Homebrew and custom firmware (CFW)</h2></div>
[[wikipedia:Homebrew (video games)|Homebrew]] refers to games, apps, and utilities produced by hobbyists for proprietary video game consoles which are not intended to be user-programmable. These homebrew apps can include save editing tools, emulators, cheats, and more.

[[Custom firmware]] (often abbreviated as "CFW") enables you to use more advanced hacks that homebrew alone can't do. For example, installing games, apps, or game modifications. CFW is similar to "administrator access" on a computer: it allows you to do anything that the device is physically capable of doing, rather than being limited by whatever the manufacturer allows you to do.

<translate>
'''ctrcheck''' is a custom GodMode9 script that does a large number of [[wikipedia:Sanity check|sanity checks]] and [[wikipedia:Checksum|checksums]] on a 3DS' firmware and SD card to make troubleshooting easier through [[wikipedia:Fault isolation|fault isolation]], though it can also automatically fix certain issues.

== Required Reading == 


ctrcheck does not fix the majority of issues by itself, and instead only informs the user that they exist. Some of the issues it checks for may still require large amounts of knowledge to fix - this script is not a 'miracle cure' and should not be treated as such.


Additionally, ctrcheck cannot check whether the SD is damaged, only certain specific issues with reading its data. If you have an issue that might be caused by an SD being corrupted or formatted badly, the pages {{ml|Formatting an SD card}} and/or {{ml|Checking SD card integrity}} will be far more useful.

* <translate> A device that you can use to transfer files to your 3DS, either via an SD slot or via [[3DS:FTP|FTP]]</translate>

<translate>=== Section I - Prep Work === </translate>

# <translate> Power off your console and insert the SD card into your device</translate>
# <translate> Copy the downloaded <code>ctrcheck.gm9</code> into <code>sd:/gm9/scripts</code> on the SD card</translate>
# <translate> If GodMode9 either is not installed or is outdated (the latest version is v2.2.1), [[3DS:GodMode9#Installation|install the latest version now]]</translate>
# <translate> Reinsert the SD card into your console</translate>

<translate>=== Section II - ctrcheck === </translate>

# <translate> Hold {{B|START}}, and while holding {{B|START}}, power on your console. This will launch GodMode9</translate>
# <translate> Press the {{B|HOME}} button, then go into '''Scripts...''' -> '''ctrcheck'''</translate>
#* <translate> If ctrcheck does not appear here, go into the folder <code>0:/gm9/scripts</code> and manually rename it to <code>ctrcheck.gm9</code> by highlighting it and pressing {{B|R|X}}, then reopen the scripts menu</translate>

# <translate> Accept any prompts to fix issues and unlock sysNAND write permissions that appear, perform data recovery and rerun the script if instructed to, and then read the results on the top screen once the script is entirely finished</translate>
# <translate> If you are following this guide at someone else's request, send a copy of the results to that person. Otherwise, if the results include any of the following, do the matching instructions:</translate>
#* <translate> <code>______ installed to firm0/firm1</code>: If the result type is <code>Information</code>, you may ignore this line. If the type is <code>Warning</code> or <code>Critical</code>, follow either [[3dsguide:updating-b9s|Updating B9S]] (if using boot9strap) or {{ml|3DS:Fastboot3DS/Usage#Updating_fastboot3DS|Updating fastboot3DS}} (if using fastboot3DS) to get the latest version of a known good bootloader. If the type is <code>Error</code> and both FIRM0 and FIRM1 are affected, ask for help in the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}}</translate>
#* <translate> <code>Critical: NVRAM is inaccessible</code>: If your console is an old model (no ZL/ZR shoulder buttons and no C-Stick), try reseating the Wi-Fi module on the motherboard. If this does not fix it or you have a new model, download this [[Special:DownloadWithFilename/File:Luma ignore cfgnor.firm/boot.firm| special build of Luma]] and put it on the root of your SD card, replacing <code>boot.firm</code> if it already exists</translate>
#** <translate> This build does not fix the issue, only stop it from causing system crashes. You will still be unable to play DS games, and if you were unable to use Wi-Fi it will also stay broken - fixing these entirely requires a hardware replacement</translate>
#* <translate> <code>Warning: The SD title database needs to be reset</code>: Using [[3dsguide:images/screenshots/database-reset.jpg|this picture]] as a guide, reset the title database. After you reset, follow [[3dsguide:finalizing-setup|Finalizing Setup]] to reacquire the homebrew apps</translate>
#* <translate> <code>Warning: There is no boot.firm/boot.3dsx in the SD card root</code>: Follow [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|Restoring / Updating CFW]] to reacquire the file(s)</translate>
#* <translate> <code>Critical: NAND is unreadable at _______...?</code>: Your console's internal storage is damaged in a way that may require advanced troubleshooting to fix. Ask for help in the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}}</translate>
#* <translate> One or more of movable.sed, LFCS, SecureInfo, and/or HWCAL is marked as either <code>invalid</code> or <code>still invalid after a recovery attempt</code>: If you have a NAND backup from before this happened, {{ml|3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Restoring_a_NAND_backup|restore it}}.

<translate>'''ctrcheck''' is a custom GodMode9 script that does a large number of [[wikipedia:Sanity check|sanity checks]] and [[wikipedia:Checksum|checksums]] on a 3DS' firmware and SD card to make troubleshooting easier through [[wikipedia:Fault isolation|fault isolation]], though it can also automatically fix certain issues.

== Required Reading ==

ctrcheck does not fix the majority of issues by itself, and instead only informs the user that they exist. Some of the issues it checks for may still require large amounts of knowledge to fix - this script is not a 'miracle cure' and should not be treated as such.

Additionally, ctrcheck cannot check whether the SD is damaged, only certain specific issues with reading its data. If you have an issue that might be caused by an SD being corrupted or formatted badly, the pages {{ml|Formatting an SD card}} and/or {{ml|Checking SD card integrity}} will be far more useful.

'''ISFShax''' exploits boot1 using a specially designed ISFS (SLC filesystem) superblock. Once installed, it offers similar capabilities to de_Fuse. Since it runs before IOSU, it can apply early patches to IOSU and repair most types of bricks. However, it cannot protect against bricks caused by boot1 corruption, seeprom issues, or installing a faulty ISFShax superblock. Additionally, ISFShax cannot help if the Wii U is already bricked.

3DS:Flashcarts

2026-01-03T01:07:13Z

Ihaveahax: /* DS flashcarts */ text spacing

{{Page WIP}}
There are two kinds of flashcarts that the 3DS can use: DS-mode (such as the R4 family) and 3DS-mode (such as Gateway-3DS). DS flashcarts are still sometimes used in custom firmware setups (though [[3DS:nds-bootstrap|nds-bootstrap]] is usually a better option, [[3DS:ntrboot|ntrboot]] is a more practical use of the cart in those cases), while 3DS flashcarts have fallen out of favor due to CFW entirely replacing their functionality.

==DS flashcarts==

DS flashcarts refer to any flashcart that runs in DS mode. While such flashcarts may have 3DS in the name (e.g. "R4i SDHC 3DS RTS"), they do not support 3DS games. You can verify this by seeing if the cartridge supports the DS family of consoles (DS / DS lite / DSi). If it does, then it is a DS-mode flashcart.

Most modern DS flashcarts work on the 3DS just as they did on the DS and DSi. [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] re-enables flashcarts that were blocked through 3DS updates, such as the Acekard 2i. The flashcart blacklist has not been updated since system version 7.x (released in 2013), so any flashcart made after that year should work on unmodified consoles, even on the latest firmware.

Old flashcarts that never worked on 3DS or DSi firmware (such as the original R4) can still be used on the 3DS with some workarounds.

{{ambox|text=TODO: List the workarounds.}}

==3DS flashcarts==

{{critical|text=3DS flashcarts have been entirely superseded by [[3dsguide:index|custom firmware]] setups. Even if you have an old 3DS-mode flashcart lying around, you should not use it; they are at best cumbersome and at worst a potential brick risk if you're not very careful. '''No support on flashcart-based setups will be provided on this wiki or by affiliated support channels except for the purposes of migrating people ''off'' of flashcart-based setups.'''}}
There were three major 3DS-mode flashcarts released over the lifespan of the 3DS: Gateway-3DS, Sky3DS, and Stargate. Any other flashcarts are clones of one of these cartridges (most likely Gateway-3DS).

===Gateway-3DS===

'''Gateway-3DS''' was the first flashcart for the 3DS, and one of the earliest ways to run 3DS games from a flashcart. It required its own custom firmware to function, generally relying on an out-of-date SysNAND (often on 4.x or 9.x) and an up-to-date EmuNAND. Most 3DS flashcart clones are based on this cartridge.

Gateway-3DS came with two flashcarts, one blue and one red. The blue one was just a traditional DS flashcart that was occasionally required to install an exploit to run custom firmware, while the red one was the 3DS-mode flashcart.

The cartridge/custom firmware is notorious for its implementation of a clone flashcart detector which could trigger at random for genuine flashcarts, and when triggered, would cause a software brick in the 3DS. This ''was'' notable for being the only software brick that requires a hardmod to fix, but '''recent developments have created a way to fix gateway bricks via ntrboot.''' For assistance with this fix, {{ml|Get support|join the Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.

Gateway's custom firmware no longer works properly on the latest firmware and is generally not compatible with boot9strap-based setups. If you have such a setup, you should [[3DS:Migrate from Gateway|migrate away from it]].

===Sky3DS===

'''Sky3DS''' is the other most common 3DS flashcart. Unlike Gateway, it doesn't require modifications to the console to use. Sky3DS cartridges work by pretending to be a retail cartridge and cycling through games through a physical button on the cartridge, so they cannot be used to directly run homebrew applications (they can, however, be used to run *hax through cartridge-based exploits).

Because Sky3DS is not a legitimate cartridge, it does not have the private headers that are available on a genuine cartridge. Users of Sky3DS cartridges may therefore get banned from online play unless they get a donor header from a genuine cartridge, but due to the nature of private headers the same header can be used for all games ran through this method.<br>
Sky3DS cartridges still work on the latest firmware, but because of how cumbersome they are, custom firmware is considered to be vastly preferable.

===Stargate===

'''Stargate''' was a short-lived 3DS flashcart released in around 2018. It was most likely developed by the same team between Gateway-3DS. The main feature of this flashcart is that it offers three functions in one: it is an NDS flashcart that is capable of ntrboot with Sky3DS-style 3DS cartridge emulation for playing 3DS backups.

Using its ntrboot feature, Stargate offered its own boot9strap-based custom firmware installation pack with generally weird payloads. If you have such a setup, you can probably migrate away from it by wiping your SD card and following [[3dsguide:updating-b9s|Updating B9S]]. Otherwise, the cartridge can still serve as a DS flashcart / ntrboot cartridge. The 3DS cartridge emulation should be avoided for the same reasons as Sky3DS cartridges.

The '''{{iw|wikipedia|Nintendo 3DS}}''' is a handheld game console released by Nintendo in 2011. Multiple revisions have been released for the Nintendo 3DS over the years, including the more-powerful "New Nintendo 3DS" series and the budget "2DS" set of consoles. All 3DS revisions run the same system software, so homebrew methods and software are generally identical (except in cases where the more-powerful hardware of the New Nintendo 3DS is required and the 3D feature on 2DS not being there).

<translate>The '''{{iw|wikipedia|Nintendo 3DS}}''' is a handheld game console released by Nintendo in 2011. Multiple revisions have been released for the Nintendo 3DS over the years, including the more-powerful "New Nintendo 3DS" series and the budget "2DS" set of consoles. All 3DS revisions run the same system software, so homebrew methods and software are generally identical (except in cases where the more-powerful hardware of the New Nintendo 3DS is required and the 3D feature on 2DS not being there).

A history on hacking and homebrew for the 3DS can be found [[3DS:History of 3DS Hacking|here]].</translate>

User:Ihaveahax/SD card recommendations

2026-01-02T01:22:46Z

Ihaveahax: /* Nintendo Wii */ corrections, rename section

{{Page WIP|notes=I tried my best to make this generic, but my knowledge is very 3DS-specific. I need other people who are experienced with other consoles to edit or provide guidance.}}

This page documents recommendations for purchasing SD cards.

== Brands and stores ==
Only well-known brands are recommended. These generally include:

* Samsung
* Kingston
* Lexar
* SanDisk (except for Wii)

Other brands may work but are not as widely tested for reliability.

Only buy brand-new SD cards. The best place would be a local brick-and-mortar store if possible, as this has the highest chance of avoiding fake cards, while also letting you get a new card in your hands immediately. Amazon is the second best place, but be wary of fake cards. Don't buy from other online marketplaces like AliExpress, Temu, or eBay.

Nintendo-branded SD cards do not offer anything different compared to other cards, and should be treated as just another option. These generally do not come with a microSD-to-SD adapter, meaning one would need to be acquired separately to use on a console that only accepts full-size SD cards.

SD cards larger than 2 TB do not currently exist (as of January 2026).

== Wii ==

SD cards up to 2 TB can be used. Very old games cannot read SD cards larger than 2 GB.

SD cards above 32 GB must be formatted to FAT32. Use the [[Formatting an SD card]] guide to do this.

Any brand new genuine SD card will be faster than what the Wii can handle. The Wii can only read up to 25 MB/s. The only reason to buy faster SD cards is for data transfer speeds between PCs and other devices.

Avoid SanDisk cards if possible, due to the issues the newer ones produced tend to have with certain software, such as BootMii.

== Nintendo 3DS ==
SD cards up to 128 GB are recommended. Anything larger will cause slowdowns, such as increased boot time.

SD cards above 32 GB must be formatted to FAT32. Use the [[Formatting an SD card]] guide to do this.

Any brand new genuine SD card will be faster than what the 3DS can handle. Class 4 (4 MB/s) is the fastest the 3DS can handle, and any cards produced today will be much faster than that. The only reason to buy faster SD cards is for data transfer speeds between PCs and other devices.

== Nintendo Switch ==
SD cards up to 2 TB can be used.

The recommended filesystem is FAT32. Use the [[Formatting an SD card]] guide to do this. While exFAT can be used, the filesystem driver used by Nintendo is buggy and prone to corruption.

To get the fastest read speeds, get a card that is rated for UHS-I or higher.

3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS exception screen

2025-10-09T00:29:13Z

Ihaveahax: various style cleanup; replace <h#> headers with wikitext headers, add separators to visually separate major sections, rename "Error On Boot/Error During Use" sections for clarity (anchors added to preserve old links), remove some unnecessary use of headers

{{shortcut|3DS:EXCEPTION}}
This page lists possible causes and fixes of Luma3DS exception screens. They are not applicable to every situation, but cover most common known issues.

==Reading a Luma3DS exception screen==

A Luma3DS exception has four (or five, in a few cases) different parts to it that help in finding its cause, as follows:
[[File:Luma3DS_exception.png|center]]
*'''Processor:''' What part of the system is causing the exception. The two processors are:
**'''Arm9:''' The 'security processor' of the system. These exceptions are usually raised because of errors in NAND data or hardware faults in either the 3DS or its SD card.
**'''Arm11:''' The 'userland' of the system. These exceptions have numerous causes but are more often related to broken software or user data.
*'''Exception type:''' The type of fault that caused the exception. These categories correspond to the ARM exceptions for the [https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0201/d ARM9] and [https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0360/f ARM11] CPUs, as follows:
**'''data abort''': Caused by a read or write to an invalid part of memory. Usually related to game mods/cheats/plugins, broken HOME Menu data, and/or broken CFW applications.
**'''prefetch abort''': Caused by an attempt to execute a CPU instruction that was marked as invalid. Often related to conflicts between CFW and other software.
**'''prefetch abort (kernel panic)''': Caused by Kernel9 detecting an unrecoverable error and forcibly halting to avoid causing damage. Can be related to any of several things, but hardware issues are the most likely.
**'''prefetch abort (svcBreak)''': Caused by either Process9 or homebrew software manually halting because it tripped a pre-defined error condition. Often related to damage to NAND data, even when raised by Arm11. Can also happen when launching an out-of-region game that isn't [[3DS:SGL|locale emulated.]]
**'''undefined instruction''': Caused by an attempt to execute a CPU instruction that was unimplemented, disallowed, or unusable. Often related to software missing its required files (if not on boot) or an outdated <code>boot.firm</code> (if on boot).
*'''Fault status:''' The specific type of ARM exception that was raised. Helpful for developers, but not so much for the end user.
*'''Current process:''' Where the error is coming from in the system. Often the most helpful part of the exception. Some examples of processes are as follows:
**'''fs''': The filesystem, i.e. either the SD card or the NAND.
**'''menu''': Data that is opened either as a part of the HOME Menu or at the same time as it.
**'''loader''': The service that opens apps, meaning the app most recently opened has an issue.
**'''nwm''': Networking services, almost always Wi-Fi.
**'''ns''': The <u>N</u>intendo User Interface <u>S</u>hell, which handles all apps/processes/services in 3DS mode.
*'''Registers (R0-R12/SP/LR/PC/CPSR/FPEXC)''': Usually just internal data that's not worth reading, though R0 is the most likely of them to contain useful data. There are certain notable exceptions that aren't mentioned in the list of known errors, however:
**If the value <code>000400??</code> (the ? marks can be any number) appears in any of the registers, it likely refers to the first half of a title ID - check the value of the register after it to ensure this. If it is a title ID, it can be used to narrow down the original cause of an error.
**If the value of any register starts with the letter C, D, E, or F (even if it isn't in R0) and doesn't look completely random, it may be an error code - this is more likely if the value starts with C or D. You may want to check it manually, as if it is an error code, it can likely help in troubleshooting.
*'''Stack dump''': A list of code running in memory at the time of the crash. While normally not that useful it will sometimes contain a Title ID of the process that crashed in little-endian, which can help narrow down the issue if "Current process" doesn't have one listed.

==Known Errors==

In the following list, the file prefixes on file paths refer to the starting location. <code>sd:/</code> refers to the SD card, and numbers in the format of <code>[X:]</code> refer to GodMode9's drive numbers.
{{info|If the below fixes do not solve your issue or you are unsure of what to do, join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} for further assistance.}}

----
----

===Arm9===

Arm9 errors are sorted by their '''exception type'''.

----

====Arm9 Error on boot<span class="anchor" id="Error On Boot"></span>====

=====Any Type=====
*Files on the SD are corrupted.
**To fix, [[Checking_SD_card_integrity|verify that the SD card is not faulty.]] If it is verified working, make a backup of all intact files, [[Formatting_an_SD_card|format the SD card]], and try booting again.
*A system save located on the NAND in <code>[1:]/data</code> has a problem.
*System-unique files are missing from the NAND in <code>[1:]/rw/sys</code>.

=====data abort=====
*The <code>shared2</code> folder in <code>[2:] SYSNAND TWLN</code> is missing.
**To fix, create this folder.
*System titles have been deleted.
**To fix, perform a [[3DS:Safe Mode|Safe Mode update]]. If this does not work, perform a [[3DS:CTRTransfer|CTRTransfer]].

=====prefetch abort (kernel panic)=====
*The console likely has a hardware issue.

=====prefetch abort (svcBreak)=====
*The system movable, <code>[1:]/private/movable.sed</code>, is 288 bytes but a flag is enabled that expects a size of 320 bytes.
**To fix, boot into GodMode9 and select <code>SYSNAND CTRNAND</code>, then go into the <code>private</code> folder.<br>Inside this folder, you will see a file named <code>movable.sed</code>. Select it, and under the options menu, select '''Show in Hexeditor'''.<br>Green-colored numbers will appear in the middle of the screen - press {{B|A}} and then unlock '''writing to sysNAND (lvl2)'''.<br>At the beginning of the file, look for the set of numbers <code>53 45 45 44 00 01</code>. Once you find these numbers, hold {{B|A}} and press {{B|D-PAD DOWN}} while the <code>01</code> value is highlighted to change it to <code>00</code>. Press {{B|B}}, then {{B|A}}, then {{B|B}} to save changes and exit from the hexeditor, then press {{B|START}} to reboot your console.
*<code>SYSNAND CTRNAND</code> has bad CMACs.
**To fix, press R+A on the <code>SYSNAND CTRNAND</code> drive and <code>Fix CMACs for drive</code>. The console will act like it has been formatted after this, and this is intended.
*If none of the above have worked, perform a [[3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual|Manual CTRTransfer]].

=====undefined instruction=====
*The console likely has a hardware issue, or corrupted sysmodules. Try performing a [[3DS:CTRTransfer|CTRTransfer]] to see if it resolves the issue.

----

====Arm9 Error during use<span class="anchor" id="Error During Use"></span>====

=====data abort=====
*Files on the SD are corrupted.
**If only 1 app crashes, delete the app from <code>System Settings</code> -> <code>Data Management</code>, then reinstall.
**If multiple apps crash, [[Checking_SD_card_integrity|verify that your card is not faulty.]] If it is verified working, make a backup of all intact files, [[Formatting_an_SD_card|format the SD card]], and try again.

----
----

===Arm11===

All Arm11 errors are sorted by their '''current process''', except for entries that can apply to multiple processes; these always appear first in the list for simplicity.
<br>If an error appears in the <code>Error At Any Time</code> section, do not look for it in the other two sections.

----

====Arm11 Error on boot<span class="anchor" id="Error On Boot 2"></span>====

=====gsp/i2c/mcu/pxi/spi=====
*The console has a serious hardware issue that is likely not easily fixable.
**Run [[3DS:Hardware test|3ds_hw_test]]. If the test returns zero errors detected, join {{ml|Get support|the Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.

=====act=====
*Your NNID(s)' stored data is misconfigured or being interfered with.
**To fix, if [https://pretendo.network Pretendo] is installed, turn it off by disabling <code>Enable loading external FIRMs and modules</code> on the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]].
***If this does not help or Pretendo is not installed, then [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Restoring_a_NAND_backup|restore a NAND backup]] - especially if you recently tried to [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Removing_an_NNID_without_formatting_your_device|log out an NNID]].

=====boss=====
*'''Outdated firmware (11.16 or older):'''
**The current firmware version may be too old for SpotPass to work. Perform a [[3DS:Safe Mode|Safe Mode update]].
***If this does not work, you may require [[3DS:CTRTransfer|a CTRTransfer.]]
*'''Latest firmware (11.17):'''
**An outdated installation of NetPass is likely interfering with your console. To check this, do the following steps:
**#Hold {{B|SELECT}} while powering on the console
**#Within the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]], disable <code>Enable loading external FIRMs and modules</code>
**#Either press {{B|START}} or press {{B|A}} on the <code>Save and exit</code> option to save changes and exit the configuration menu
**If the issue stops after this, update Netpass via [[3DS:Universal-Updater|Universal-Updater]] (recommended) or go to the [https://netpass.cafe/install.html NetPass Website] and follow the instructions there. Then, boot NetPass to update the patches.
**If this does not help, join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} or the [https://netpass.cafe/discord NetPass Discord] and ask, in english, for help.

=====camera=====
*Potential hardware issues, or an instance of ShutTheCamUp is crashing.
**Look for and delete <code>/luma/sysmodules/0004013000001602.ips</code> and <code>/luma/titles/0004013000001602/code.ips</code>.
***If this fixed the issue, then [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|update Luma3DS]] and reinstall the correct Old or New 3DS patch for [[udb:3ds/shut-the-cam-up|ShutTheCamUp]] if you wish to continue using it.
***If these don't exist, or the error occurs when booting without an SD card, it's likely hardware issues. Join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.

=====cfg=====
*Either the NAND [[3dbrew:Config Savegame|config savegame]] or part of your console-unique file(s) is damaged.
**To fix, first boot into GodMode9, press R+A while the cursor is on the folder <code>[1:]/data/<ID0>/sysdata/00010017</code>, choose to <code>Copy to 0:/gm9/out</code>, then delete the folder. After rebooting, the console will enter initial setup again; this is intended and not an issue.
***If this does not help, delete the newly created <code>00010017</code> and copy the backup into its place, run [[3DS:ctrcheck|ctrcheck]], and replace any console-unique files marked as invalid or missing with the copies from the <code>essentials.exefs</code> backup inside <code>[S:] SYSNAND VIRTUAL</code> in GodMode9.

=====fs=====
*Could be an SD card problem, minor NAND problem, hardware issue, or anything in between.
**[[wikipedia:Fault isolation|Fault isolation]] will likely be required to find the true cause of this error. Start by doing [[3DS:ctrcheck|ctrcheck]] and trying to trigger the error with the SD card removed from the console.<br>If the error stops when the SD card is removed, [[Formatting an SD card|reformat the SD card]], and if that doesn't help, [[Checking SD card integrity|test it for hardware damage]].

=====hid=====
*Either an instance of rehid is crashing, or your console may have hardware damage.
**First look for and delete <code>/luma/titles/0004013000001D02</code>, <code>/luma/titles/0004013000003302</code>, <code>/luma/sysmodules/0004013000001D02.cxi</code> and <code>/luma/sysmodules/0004013000003302.ips</code>.
***If this fixed the issue, then [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|update Luma3DS]] and reinstall the latest release of [[3DS:Rehid|rehid]] to continue using it.
***If these don't exist, or rehid has never been installed on this console, it's likely hardware issues. [[3DS:Hardware test|3ds_hw_test]] or [[3DS:ctrcheck|ctrcheck]] may help with fault isolation.

=====loader=====
*'''prefetch abort (svcBreak)'''
**The code or sysmodule patch Luma3DS tried to load is invalid or corrupt.
***To fix: Redownload any recently installed patches (eg. Nimbus (Pretendo), Wumiibo, or anything else that goes in <code>/luma/titles</code> or <code>/luma/sysmodules</code>.) Alternatively, you may disable <code>loading external FIRMs and modules</code> as well as <code>Enable game patching</code> in the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]].

=====menu=====
*'''data abort'''
**The installed [[3DS:Custom themes|theme]] is corrupted or otherwise broken.
***To fix, go into the folder <code>sd:/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/00000000/</code> and delete the folder matching your region, one of the following:
**:USA: <code>000002cd</code><br>EUR: <code>000002ce</code><br>JPN: <code>000002cc</code>
**The HOME Menu's extra data is corrupted.
***To fix, go into the folder <code>sd:/Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/extdata/00000000/</code> and delete the folder matching your region, one of the following:
**:USA: <code>0000008f</code><br>EUR: <code>00000098</code><br>JPN: <code>00000082</code><br>KOR: <code>000000A9</code>
**An installed application is corrupted or otherwise broken.
***To fix, either perform a [[3DS:Safe Mode|Safe Mode update]], attempt to enter System Settings before the crash occurs and delete the application in Data Management, or [[Formatting an SD card|reformat the SD card]].
*'''prefetch abort'''
**An installation of Menuhax is conflicting with the custom firmware.
***To fix, follow the directions [[3DS:Troubleshooting/removing_menuhax67|on this page]].
**If this occurs on boot, set '''Hbmenu autoboot''' in the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]] to 3DS, then follow the above instructions and turn '''Hbmenu autoboot''' back off once it has been removed.
***Ensure in <code>sd:/luma/config.ini</code> that hbldr_3dsx_titleid is set to 000400000d921e00 and <code>boot.3dsx</code> is in the root.
*'''prefetch abort (svcBreak)'''
**If <code>R5</code> contains <code>D900458B</code>: The <code>f000000b</code> folder in <code>SYSNAND CTRNAND</code> is broken, its exact location being at <code>[1:]/data/<ID0>/extdata/00048000/f000000b</code>.
***To fix, backup <code>f000000b</code> by pressing R+A while highlighting it, then selecting <code>Copy to 0:/gm9/out</code>. Once it is backed up, delete the folder. If this does not fix the issue, copy the folder back where it was.
**System titles are missing. Perform a [[3DS:Safe Mode|Safe Mode update]].
**If you have a recent NAND backup, try restoring it with [[3DS:GodMode9/Usage#Restoring_a_NAND_backup|this guide]]

=====mset=====
*System Settings is broken in some way - this may indicate that the console has a hardware issue.
**To fix, perform a [[3DS:CTRTransfer|CTRTransfer]], or a [[3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual|Manual CTRTransfer]] if that does not work.
***If neither of these work, the console has a serious issue. Join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.

=====ns=====
*The [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration]] setting '''Hbmenu autoboot''' is set to boot to a title that does not exist.
**To fix, disable the option, install an application with the title ID in <code>sd:/luma/config.ini</code>, or change the set title ID to match an application that does exist.

=====nwm=====
*The WiFi chipset's hardware is damaged or dead.
**To fix, replace the WiFi chipset with a new one. To avoid the error until then, disable WiFi on the 3DS and do not turn it back on.
***If the 3DS is an old model, you can disable WiFi using an external switch. New models do not have this switch disable it through the HOME Menu Settings or Rosalina. Repeatedly pressing the keycombo for Rosalina while powering on might let you access Rosalina before it can crash.

=====pm=====
*The installed version of Luma3DS likely does not support the current firmware version. This is guaranteed to be true if the contents of R0 are <code>E0E01BF5</code>.
**To fix, [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|update CFW.]]

====Arm11 Error during use <span class="anchor" id="Error During Use 2"></span>====

=====app/CtrApp/IbizaCit/Joker/Kirby3DS/Kujira/niji_loc/etc.=====
*The app you most recently opened is attempting to load corrupt code, instructions, or patches. As this type of error can happen to nearly anything on the console, if your listed '''current process''' does not show up anywhere else under Arm11, it may help to follow these instructions anyway.
**First, turn off all game mods, cheat codes, plugins, and both the settings <code>Game patching</code> and <code>loading external FIRMs and modules</code> in the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]] to stop all external interference.<br>If this fixes the issue, redownload all of those types of patches that you had enabled for the game(s) before turning them back on. If it does not fix the issue, check whether the game is the same region as the console and [[3DS:SGL|activate locale emulation]] if it is not.
***If the error continues after trying all of the above, then the game itself is likely faulty. If it is a [[3DS:Dump titles and game cartridges#Dumping a Game Cartridge|cartridge dump]], redump it. If it is an eShop game, click the Repair button at the bottom of its eShop page or delete and reinstall it. If it is a cartridge, clean the cartridge and the 3DS cartridge reader with isopropyl alcohol.

=====cam/qtm=====
*The camera's hardware is damaged or dead.
**To fix, replace the camera with a new one. To avoid the error until then, disconnect the camera or avoid using anything that activates the camera.

=====3dsx_app=====
*The <code>.3dsx</code> file that was most recently opened is corrupted.
**To fix, download a new copy of the <code>.3dsx</code> file. If this error happens when opening the Homebrew Launcher, download a new copy of <code>boot.3dsx</code>.
**:If the error still happens, [[Checking SD card integrity|test the SD card for errors.]]

=====fs=====
*Could be an SD card problem, minor NAND problem, hardware issue, or anything in between.
**[[w:Fault isolation|Fault isolation]] will likely be required to find the true cause of this error. Start by doing [[3DS:ctrcheck|ctrcheck]] and trying to recreate the error without the SD card inserted.<br>If the error stops after the SD card is removed, [[Formatting an SD card|reformat the SD card]], and if that doesn't help, [[Checking SD card integrity|test it for hardware damage]].

=====GARDEN=====
*Animal Crossing's game data or savedata is having issues.
**To fix, disable all game mods, cheat codes, and plugins to ensure they are not the cause. If the error still happens, then the game itself may be faulty. If it is a [[3DS:Dump titles and game cartridges#Dumping a Game Cartridge|cartridge dump]], redump it, if it is an eShop game, click the Repair button at the bottom of its eShop page or delete and reinstall it, or if it is a cartridge, clean the cartridge and the 3DS cartridge reader with isopropyl alcohol.
***If the error yet still happens, ensure that you have not used a save editor before the error started happening. If you have used a save editor, the edits are broken and you will need to restore a backed-up save, or wipe the save and start over if you have no backup.

=====loader=====

*'''undefined instruction'''
**The app most recently opened is trying to load invalid, missing, or corrupt data. If the value of R0 starts with C or D, it is an error code, and has a chance of being an error code if the value starts with E or F. A large number of such error codes can be found at [[3DS:ERRDISP|this page]], but here are the most common values seen in this error:
***<code>D9004587</code>: When trying to open a game: The game is corrupted, or its seed is not imported.
****To fix: Follow [[3DS:FCG|the corrupted games guide]]
***<code>C8804478</code>: If trying to open the Homebrew Launcher: <code>boot.3dsx</code> is missing from the root of your SD card.
****To fix: Download the latest Homebrew Launcher from [https://github.com/devkitPro/3ds-hbmenu/releases/latest here]
***<code>C88044AB</code>: If trying to open the Homebrew Launcher: Your SD card either is not properly inserted, or cannot be read by the console.
****To fix: Try to reinsert the SD more firmly, and check whether its data can be read on boot. If it can't, then [[Formatting an SD card|reformat the SD]].
***<code>D96077FA</code>/<code>FFFFFFFF</code>: The <code>.3dsx</code> that Luma3DS tried to load is corrupted.
****To fix, redownload the app you are trying to launch. If this happens when you try to open the Homebrew Launcher itself, see the error above.
***Most of the other possible error codes that can appear here are listed on [[3DS:Error_screens/Luma3DS_ErrDisp|the ErrDisp page]].
*'''prefetch abort (svcBreak)'''
**The code or sysmodule patch Luma3DS tried to load is invalid or corrupt.
***To fix: Redownload any recently installed patches (eg. Nimbus (Pretendo), Wumiibo, or anything else that goes in <code>/luma/titles</code> or <code>/luma/sysmodules</code>.) Alternatively, you may disable <code>loading external FIRMs and modules</code> as well as <code>Enable game patching</code> in the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration menu]].

=====mset=====
*'''If not occurring in Nintendo DS Profile:''' System Settings is broken in some way - this may indicate that the console has a hardware issue.
**To fix, perform a [[3DS:CTRTransfer|CTRTransfer]], or a [[3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual|Manual CTRTransfer]] if that does not work.
***If neither of these work, the console has a serious issue. Join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.
*'''If occurring in Nintendo DS Profile:''' Your NVRAM either is corrupted or is suffering from hardware damage. Run [[3DS:ctrcheck|ctrcheck]] - if its results do not include <code>Critical: NVRAM is inaccessible</code>, then follow [[3DS:NVRAM|the Fix NVRAM guide]].

=====nwm=====
*The WiFi chipset's hardware is damaged or dead.
**To fix, replace the WiFi chipset with a new one. To avoid the error until then, disable WiFi on the 3DS and do not turn it back on.
***If the 3DS is an old model, you can disable WiFi with an external switch. New models must instead disable it through the HOME Menu Settings or Rosalina. Repeatedly pressing the keycombo for Rosalina while powering on might let you access Rosalina before it can crash.

=====pm=====
*The software you have launched may be missing required files. If the value in R0 is <code>E0E01BF5</code>, this is extremely likely to be the cause.

=====pxi=====
*Could be anything from a faulty cartridge to damaged internal components, but will almost always be some type of hardware issue.

=====swkbd=====
*The software keyboard is broken in some way - this may indicate that the console has a hardware issue.
**To fix, perform a [[3DS:CTRTransfer|CTRTransfer]], or a [[3DS:CTRTransfer/Manual|Manual CTRTransfer]] if that does not work.
***If neither of these work, the console has a serious issue. Join the {{ml|Get support|Nintendo Homebrew Discord}} and ask, in English, for help.
