+A Luma3DS exception has at least four different parts to it that must be interpreted to find the cause of an error, 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 usually result from errors in NAND data or hardware faults in either the 3DS or its SD.
+**'''Arm11:''' The 'userland' of the system. These exceptions have numerous causes but are often related to broken software or user data.
+* '''Exception type:''' How the system is causing the exception. These are often too broad of categories to be helpful, but three types are more precise:
+**'''data abort''': Oftentimes related to a broken mod or broken HOME Menu data. Occasionally related to custom firmware data being broken.
+**'''prefetch abort (svcBreak)''': Oftentimes an issue with data on the NAND, even when Arm11. Can also happen when launching an out-of-region game.
+**'''undefined instruction''': Usually either a broken piece of software (if not on boot) or outdated <code>boot.firm</code> (if on boot).
+*'''Fault status:''' Why the system is causing the exception. Normally not helpful for end-users.
+*'''Current process:''' Where the error is coming from in the system. Often the most helpful part of the exception. Common or unique processes are as follows:
+**'''hid''': Potential hardware problems.
+**'''menu''': Some of the data/extdata that's either associated with the HOME Menu or loaded at the same time is broken.
+**'''pm''': Almost always, <code>boot.firm</code> is too outdated to work.
+**'''loader''': The app you last tried to run has an error.
+**'''qtm''': Your camera has a hardware issue.
+*'''R0''': Usually just internal data that's not worth reading. There are two notable exceptions, however:
+**'''Arm11 loader exception''': If R0's contents start with a C or D, R0 is an error code. This code usually gives the exact cause of the issue.
+**'''Arm11 pm exception''': If R0's contents are <code>E0E01BF5</code>, <code>boot.firm</code> is too outdated to work.

+==Known Errors==
 Note that the prefixes on file paths refer to the starting location. <code>sdmc:/</code> refers to the SD card, and numbers in the format of <code>[X:]</code> refer to GodMode9's drive numbers.

 If the hexadecimal number next to R0 starts with 'C' or 'D', search for it as an error code or in [[3DS:Error_screens/Luma3DS_ErrDisp]].<br>
 These errors are usually due to corruption, such as a faulty SD card, dying game cartridge, or dirty cartridge reader.
