Luma Updater

Formerly known as "ARN Updater" A boot.firm updater for Luma3DS and boot9strap (formerly AuReiNand) as a 3DS homebrew (no more SD swaps!)

What does it do?

  • Luma Updater will update the boot.firm file from Luma3DS on your SD card and your CTRNAND, if you followed Plailect's guide. You can choose to either install the latest stable version or the latest hourly version (only on Luma Updater v2.1.1 or below).
  • It will back up your current boot.firm on your SD card (and CTRNAND when allowed to) to boot.firm.bak.
  • It will restore your old backup of boot.firm on your SD card root (and CTRNAND when allowed to).
  • It will block all updates from Luma3DS v7.1 as that only supports boot9strap v1.0/v1.1. Luma3DS v8.0+ only supports boot9strap v1.2+.

Usage

Originally from Hamcha's wiki: For boot9strap Users:

  1. Install Luma Updater's CIA then launch it.
  2. Select latest stable version. For HBL/Rosalina Users:
  3. Enable Patch ARM9 access in your Luma3DS configuration (may not be needed depending on your Luma version).
  4. Launch the HBL then Luma Updater.
  5. Select latest stable version.

To possibly work on

  • N/A

Compiling Requirements

  • Your usual 3DS compilation environment
  • Latest* ctrulib (the one currently bundled with devKitPro won't cut it)
  • makerom and bannertool somewhere in your PATH environment

Optional

  • zip binary for generating release archives (make pkg)

Compiling

make should create the output folder and fill it with both the 3dsx and the cia builds make 3dsx will only build the 3dsx version [outdated]

Extra flags

make CITRA=1 disables features that aren't properly emulated on Citra (HTTPc) for easier testing make DEBUG=1 will disable compile-time optimizations entirely
