<summary><u>Multiple long folder names in Nintendo 3DS folder</u></summary>
<p class="notice--info"><img src="https://3ds.hacks.guide/images/screenshots/multiple-id0.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>This occurs when you use your SD card in multiple 3DS consoles and is intended to prevent inadvertently merging data that would not be valid on other consoles. To figure out which long folder name is correct for your 3DS, follow these instructions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Rename the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS</code> folder to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code></li>
<li>Reinsert your SD card into your console</li>
<li>Power on your console</li>
<li>Wait for the console to generate the SD card data
<ul>
<li>Your applications will have disappeared. This is normal and will be resolved shortly</li>
</ul>

<summary><u>Multiple ID1 folders inside of ID0</u></summary>

<p>This can occur if youve used multiple SD cards on a 3DS and then merged the contents of the SD cards together. This is done to prevent conflicting, valid data from being merged together.</p>
<p>To fix this, you will need to determine which folder contains your data. Usually, this will be the larger (or largest) of the folders. Backup and delete the smaller one(s), then create a <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo DSiWare</code> folder in the one that remains and move <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">F00D43D5.bin</code> to that location.</p>

<p>Also, ensure that <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">bb3.bin</code> is on the root of the SD card.

<p>If neither of these solutions fixes this problem, then custom firmware may have been uninstalled on this console in a way that makes this method impossible to perform.

<h2 id="boot-issues-on-consoles-with-custom-firmware">Boot issues on consoles with custom firmware</h2>
<p class="notice--info">The steps detailed here generally assume that your console has a modern custom firmware setup (boot9strap + Luma3DS 8.0 or greater). If your console is running an older homebrew setup (for example, something based on arm9loaderhax or menuhax), you should update your setup before trying these instructions.</p>
<h3 id="powernotification-light-indicators">Power/notification light indicators</h3>
<details>
<summary><u>My console powers off when I try to turn it on, and/or the notification LED shows a color on boot</u></summary>
<p>There is an issue with your <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> file. If youre running <a href="https://github.com/SciresM/boot9strap/releases/tag/1.4">boot9strap 1.4</a>, your 3DS notification LED may flash a certain color. This color is used to diagnose issues involving your <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> file on SD card or internal memory. On older versions of boot9strap, the blue light will power off almost immediately when trying to turn on the console.</p>
<p>If the notification LED flashes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>White</strong>: Your 3DS was not able to find <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> on your SD card or on internal memory.</li>
<li><strong>Magenta</strong>: Your 3DS was not able to find <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> on your SD card. It was able to find <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> on internal memory, but the file is corrupted.</li>
<li><strong>Red</strong>: Your 3DS was able to find <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> on both your SD card and on internal memory, but both files are corrupted.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can get a new <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> file by downloading the <a href="https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest">latest release of Luma3DS</a>, extracting it, and placing <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card. If your <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> file is consistently being detected as corrupted, you may want to check your SD card for errors (<a href="h2testw-(windows)">Windows</a>, <a href="f3-(linux)">Linux</a>, or <a href="f3xswift-(mac)">macOS</a>). Also, note that the 3DS tends to have issues with files extracted using WinRAR.</p>
<p>If you hear a “popping sound”, potentially accompanied with the backlight turning on for a split second, there is a hardware issue with your console (such as a disconnected backlight cable). You may be able to get your console to boot by holding it at certain angles.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary><u>My console gets stuck on a black screen with blue power light staying on</u></summary>
<p>The steps below can be attempted in any order, but are listed from least to most time-consuming.</p>
<ol>
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your console.</li>
<li>Power off your console, eject the game cartridge if inserted, power on your console, then wait up to ten minutes. If your console boots within ten minutes, the issue has been fixed and is unlikely to reoccur</li>
<li>Rename the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on your SD card to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS_BACKUP</code>, then attempt to boot. If your console successfully boots, there is some issue within your <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS</code> folder. Try clearing HOME Menu extdata:
<ul>
<li>Navigate to <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">/Nintendo 3DS/&lt;ID0&gt;/&lt;ID1&gt;/extdata/00000000/</code>
+ Delete the corresponding folder for your 3DS region:
<ul>
<li><strong>EUR Region</strong>: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">00000098</code></li>
<li><strong>JPN Region</strong>: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">00000082</code></li>
<li><strong>USA Region</strong>: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">0000008f</code></li>
<li><strong>CHN Region</strong>: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">000000A1</code></li>
<li><strong>KOR Region</strong>: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">000000A9</code></li>
<li><strong>TWN Region</strong>: <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">000000B1</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Try booting into recovery mode and updating your system:
<ul>
<li>Power off your console</li>
<li>Hold (Left Shoulder) + (Right Shoulder) + (D-Pad Up) + (A)</li>
<li>Power on your console</li>
<li>If you were successful, the console will boot to an “update your system” screen</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Follow the <a href="ctrtransfer">CTRTransfer</a> guide</li>

<summary><u>"An error has occurred: Failed to apply 1 FIRM patch(es)" or "An exception has occurred -- Current process: pm"</u></summary>
<p>Your Luma3DS version is outdated. Download the latest release of <a href="https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest">Luma3DS</a> and place <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card, replacing any existing file. Make sure you are extracting the ZIP file with any tool other than WinRAR, as it is known to cause issues with 3DS-related files.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary><u>"Unable to mount CTRNAND or load the CTRNAND FIRM. Please use an external one."</u></summary>
<p>There are a number of reasons as to why this could be happening. In any case, this error can usually be fixed by following the <a href="ctrtransfer">CTRTransfer</a> guide.</p>

<summary><u>HOME Menu is missing installed applications</u></summary>
<p>This could be caused by various reasons, but most likely because your SD card is not being read by the system.
You can check if your SD is being read by holding SELECT on boot and checking the yellow text on the bottom screen; if it says “Booted from CTRNAND via B9S”, then your console is booting from the internal memory and not from the SD card.
If this is the case, attempt the steps below, which are listed from easiest to hardest:</p>
<ol>
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your console</li>
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC, download the latest release of <a href="https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest">Luma3DS</a>, extract <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> from the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Luma3DS.zip</code> and place it on the root of your SD card (replacing any existing file)</li>
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC and reformat your SD card according to your computers operating system: <a href="formatting-sd-(windows)">Windows</a>, <a href="formatting-sd-(mac)">macOS</a>, <a href="formatting-sd-(linux)">Linux</a> <em>(this will wipe your SD card data)</em></li>
