Explanation of the issue:
3DS crashes on launch, I'm able to open the Luma settings but if I just let it boot up it crashes. I tried using the backup of the "gm9" folder from when first homebrewing the 3DS but it still crashed (included dump files for both the backup and normally). I believe this is because my brother installed a system update on his DS, if it helps, I have my homebrewed new 3DS XL (so the same model) w/out any system updates since I homebrewed it.

Steps to reproduce:

1.

2.

Dump file:
Dump_file.zip

This was fixed in the latest release:

1. Download the latest version from https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases (the zip file)

2. Take out the SD Card from your 3DS and connect it to the PC

3. Copy the two files from the zip file to the root of the SD Card (not into any folder)

4. Put the SD Card back into the 3DS, boot up and enjoy.

5. Go into the Homebrew menu and select the Luma3DS updater to update the installation on CTRNAND (this version is booted if no SD Card is inserted)

Alright, I downloaded the latest version and it booted up fine, I was tempted to try it but figured it would be best not to in case that would cause a different problem. Thank you for the fix!

Tried these steps and I had to boot via GodMode9 and boot firmware manually but the end result was the same. Crash on boot
