You've been most helpful! =)
So let's see if I've gotten this right:
I'll get a fresh card and start from scratch since I don't want copy the files on the second hand card that came with the 3DS to my computer because of the potential virus risk. Is it then necessary to also format my 3DS, and can I do so without losing Luma3DS? Other then boot.firm, do I need anything else on the SD card? I don't care for custom themes or homebrew atm, but I guess I need to get FBI (to play .cia-files) or will that still saved on the system memory?
Why the hell would you think you would get a virus from that sd card? Put boot.firm on the sd card root aswell as the items from the finalizing steps of the guide.

You want to use a new sd card so you need to copy the latest boot.firm and the homebrew starters pack. Then if you want you can format your 3ds. This will delete anything the previous owner installed. After you did that i recommend to follow the finalizing setup to inject the homebrew launcher and install fbi.
P.s. there are no virusses for the 3ds and i don't think there is something on the sd card for your pc/laptop.

Thanks for all the good tips! I'm following the finalizing setup guide now and am about to format the 3DS since there's a bunch of junk on it from the previous user. Just to make sure, selecting Format system memory from "settings" won't get rid of b9s, just all the other stuff?

Format System Memory will permanently erase the following.
  • all of the installed games, dlcs, updates, saves, and extdata in the Nintendo 3DS folder.
  • all of the installed DSiWare games & saves on the [2:] SYSNAND TWLN partition.
  • all of the previous user's personal data such as Friend List, Friend Code, Miis, NNID, Activity Log, private legit tickets of eShop purchases, and system titles' game savedata.
Reuse the SD card that can with the 3DS system.
  1. Quadruple reformat
  2. Full Write + Verify the empty card in H2testw.
  3. If the result comes back clean, delete the *.h2w test files.
  4. Build a fresh setup on the SD card by following the Finalizing Setup.

Good! I have a fresh 32gb card, no need for the old 2gb one. Following the finalizing guide there's a step stating there should be a luma folder on the sd card though, but there's not (since its just been formatted)?

Oh, 2 GB is dinky... Keep that card as a spare containing a bare bone setup holding a backup copy of the sysnand *.bin image for firmware recovery purposes in case of a future softbrick.

Finalizing Setup should cover the essentials in what to add to the SD card when building a new setup.

Hi, I recently just got a old 3DS, and I was wondering if there was anything to instantly boot up my flashcard or cfw, kind of like unlaunch on the DSi. Does anybody know of a tool to do that?

cfw will automatically launch when its installed. For the flashcart. no, nothing like that exists.

If its a different 3ds. you will need to do a system transfer to have it so the new system has the keys needed to decrypt the files and load them.

what do you mean cfw will automatically launch when it is installed? I have TWiLightMenu++ installed, how do i make that automatically boot when i turn on the 3ds?
Do you have Luma3ds?
AFAIK you can't auto boot apps.
The 3ds has online games, ds(i) has only (flash)cards.

Yeah situation is like this -
I have 2DS XL with all my data (homebrew, SNES injections etc) I have N3DS on the way and want to transfer everything to it. I was hoping that hack it and than just use my SD card would be enough.
If not, what can I do ?

???

Turn off the n2DSXL. Turn the system back on and hold the (SELECT) button. Do you see Luma3DS v10.1.3 configuration?
