#

Can I kindly get a solution to this problem?

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 11:54 AM

#

power off the 3DS, hold SELECT, then power it on while still holding SELECT

#

then once the Luma screen appears, press A to tick the following options:
(x) Enable game patching
(x) Enable loading external FIRMs and modules

#

then press START to save

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 11:55 AM

#

So the x says the option is enabled... Bingo!

#

Well, thankies!

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 11:56 AM

#

No problem 👍

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 11:57 AM

#

Although when I enable them a screen appears and says:

#

Does it mean something else or it's not that important?

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 11:59 AM

#

Can you show the contents of the luma folder on your SD card?
There's something in there preventing it from booting

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 11:59 AM

#

How can I do that?

#

Oh yeah, FBI

#

heh

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:01 PM

#

(GodMode9 also can)

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

GodMode9?

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:04 PM

#

holding START at boot should bring up GodMode9

#

let me know once you are in FBI or GodMode9

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:04 PM

#

K

#

I was just giving GodMode9 a try

#

#

Well, here I am with FBI

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:07 PM

#

native.firm looks like the problem here

#

either delete it (or move/rename it elsewhere)

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:09 PM

#

Hmmmmm....

#

Safest solutuion for native.firm?

#

Deleting it seems risky, never tried deleting a file with a 3DS via FBI before...

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:14 PM

#

It's safe to delete it i think. The console only needs boot.firm for Luma to function

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:14 PM

#

I see?

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:19 PM

#

And besides.

#

I assume you were only able to enter FBI because you un-ticked the external FIRMs option in Luma, right?

#

native.firm is not used at all when this option is disabled

#

So by this logic, it is safe to delete native.firm. Plus it said that this file "is not for this console"

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

Mhm.

#

Okay, deleted the file

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:23 PM

#

now open Nimbus

#

if it scolds you about the settings again, power off the console and tick both the settings, then try again

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:26 PM

#

It works!

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

Nice!

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:29 PM

#

And well, now I have to register my Pretendo Account

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 12:35 PM

#

via the website, or via your 3DS?

#

either way, just keep in mind:
if you had already linked a NNID (Nintendo Network ID) to this console, the new account should not use the same username as for the existing NNID.

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 12:41 PM

#

Okay, guess I gotta register an account via the website heehee :)

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 2:01 PM

#

Well, ended up creating a Pretendo ID via the console itself

#

What do I do now?

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:15 PM

#

Hey

#

I'm struggling

#

Struggling on linking my Pretendo Account to my 3DS

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 3:16 PM

#

what is wrong?

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:16 PM

#

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 3:18 PM

#

okay i'm confused

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:19 PM

#

night hound

Basically, even though I put the username, password and email of the account on the 3DS, it gives me this error

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 3:19 PM

#

from what you said, it sounds like you created a NNID while Nimbus was in Nintendo mode, and now you're doing it a second time while in Pretendo mode

#

Am I assuming right?

#

because in an earlier screenshot, Nimbus was still in Nintendo mode

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:21 PM

#

brisk sparrow because in an earlier screenshot, Nimbus was still in Nintendo mode

Yeah, but I changed it to Pretendo Mode

#

But...

#

Is there a solution?

#

Or am I doing it all wrong?

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

night hound Yeah, but I changed it to Pretendo Mode

Well, ended up creating a Pretendo ID via the console itself
i'm confused by this sentence.
did you change it to Pretendo mode before this point?

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:24 PM

#

brisk sparrow > Well, ended up creating a Pretendo ID via the console itself i'm confused by t...

Yes

#

Then deleted it

#

Yeah, seems I'm definitely doing it all wrong

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 3:27 PM

#

-# I swear if Universal Updater turns out to be at fault yet again...

#

anyway, could you show the contents of your SD card?
specifically, check if there is a sysmodules folder inside of a luma folder at the root

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:28 PM

#

Wait a sec

#

...No

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 3:31 PM

#

-# ah shit, here we go again

Manually download the combined.2.0.0.zip file from this page, then copy the 3ds folder from it to the root of your SD card

GitHub

Release v2.0.0 · PretendoNetwork/nimbus

Important Note
Unlike Nimbus v2.0.0-rc1, this release doesn't require any special steps when upgrading from either v1.6.1 or older nor from this release candidate. When updating to this version...

#

After that, launch Nimbus again and it will start updating itself

#

Then open Nimbus, switch to Nintendo, reopen Nimbus, and switch back to Pretendo

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:54 PM

#

brisk sparrow https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/nimbus/releases/tag/v2.0.0 Manually download ...

Can I use FTPD for this task or it's not necessary?

brisk sparrow Dec 9, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

You can, as long as you extract the zip file first

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

Okay!

night hound Dec 9, 2025, 4:23 PM

IT WORKEEEEEED!!!
