This page is for errors that occur on Pretendo Network that do not provide an error code.

This happens if the Pretendo patches are not being applied properly for whatever reason. To start, check to see if Luma3DS is running from the SD card by holding SELECT while booting the console. At the bottom of the screen there should be a yellow text string that says “Booted from SD via B9S.” If it says “Booted from CTRNAND via B9S.” then Luma3DS will have to be re-added to the SD card by following this guide. If after following this the console still boots from CTRNAND, or if something else is states, then you should ask in the https://discord.gg/nintendohomebrew Nintendo Homebrew Discord server for further assistance.

If this occurs while Luma3DS is running from the SD card, then try reinstalling Pretendo. If this error still occurs, ask for further assistance on https://forum.pretendo.network/ the Pretendo forums.

The installed version of Luma3DS is too outdated for Pretendo to work, as Pretendo requires Luma3DS 13.0 or newer. To fix this, update Luma 3DS by following this guide. If Luma3DS is still not updated after attempting to update it then ask in the https://discord.gg/nintendohomebrew Nintendo Homebrew Discord server for further assistance.

At least one of the Enable external FIRMs and modules and Enable game patching options is disabled. To fix, enter Luma3DS settings by holding SELECT while booting, and make sure both of the 2 options are enabled (they will be marked with an “x” if they are)
