Tutorial Updating from B9S to Fastboot3DS

[PowerBall253]

FastBoot3DS?
Gateway will be soon to strike a DMCA to this project.

?????????

Emmm...
And any other CFW to test this out?
The only CFW that I'm aware of that works with Sighax/B9S (FB3DS in this case) is Luma3DS.
This looks pretty nice truly!

Hi,
thanks for your tutorial.
I just have one question:
Can we go back to B9S safely?
Thanks in advance for any response!

Never mind, I've answer to the question myself.
You can Indeed do it

 

[nitrozz]

I use my ntrboot flashcard to install

 

[Deleted User]

Can I delete the "ofi" folder after installation?

Both Cakesfw and Reinand (now Rei-Six) work with B9S, GM9, and FB3DS.
I would know because I was the one who was privately testing them and found the reboot issue with Rei-Six and Cakesfw (issue was later fixed)

And Corbenik/Skeith using BootCTR9 dev build on FW 11.3 or lower.

Is this safe and what are the pros of this

 

[SSAZU-X]

This seems awesome, will definitely try this out when I get home.

can we go back to b9s after Fastboot's installation if we want ? how ?

 

[SirNapkin1334]

For Step 1, proper English would be 'take out your console's SD card'

Simply re-run OpenFirmInstaller and put B9S files in /ofi/
No reason too, unless you NEED to be able to dump the bootroms at any time, which is weird since no Homebrew program currently needs execution that early.

Fixed.

3. Extract the contents from lastest FastBoot3DS zip file to /ofi.

Also, it'd be 'latest,' as 'lastest' would be a grammatically incorrect way of saying 'the last one.'

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Same for step #5

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also for #17, it would be 'Now fastboot3DS will automatically launch Luma3DS on boot.'

@SirNapkin1334 I'll solve it in a minute.
Also, nkticed 3ds.guide is now 3ds.hacks.guide?

Yeah, wiiu.guide is also now wiiu.hacks.guide. This is probably so he could save money, not having to pay for seperate domains.

Extremely straightforward and easy to follow process. I'm not sure I'll ever need Fastboot for any reason, but it's nice to have the option to use it. Thanks

IMO fastboot3DS is very useful, I started using the GM9 bootloader not that long after I started using B9S, and this is even better.
Plus, this is a great chainloader, far better than that of Luma3DS.

Yeah, it seems super nice. Once I dump my cartridges and/or dump NAND and other system files, I don't tend to do much else with the chainloader menu. I'll have to dig deeper into it, but I do most file operations on my PC since it's not super inconvenient. Is there much else I'm missing out on?
