The only problem with that is that some homebrew launchers use certain keys for other functions. For example, the old emergency launcher I made and the better version based on its source will boot a different 3dsx depending on what button is held. So if you're using any of these, you would be better off configuring a specific button to force a system home menu boot.It's easier to pick type 1 and hit the touch screen without any buttons pressed; after that everything cancels homebrew loading rather than just one specific button.
I'd also add that if you make your 3DS autoboot, it's not only for convenience. For people using an emuNAND it is also to avoid people booting into sysNAND and updating it by ignorance. Which means that if it's easy to boot to sysNAND (press any key), you are more likely to get problems than if you use Type 2 and put stupid keys yourself. So I agree with @mashers solution with Type2.The only problem with that is that some homebrew launchers use certain keys for other functions.

I just color coded mine. Blue sysNAND, black emuNAND. Favorite colors.I'd also add that if you make your 3DS autoboot, it's not only for convenience.

Read my post again and read it with my mind that time (I mean that yeah, maybe that was poorly worded ). I was not talking about the 3DS owner but someone random like a cousin or a friend who would borrow the 3DS (and not be aware of your color code). That guy could boot to sysNAND by mistake if you can easily boot to sysNAND (and "press any key" is easy, "press Down+B" isn't) then update. That's why I really recommend Type 2 with a combination rather than Type 1 with nothing.While I agree, it's the end user's own fault if they "update by ignorance." The first thing I did when I unlinked my sysNAND and emuNAND was lock up my sysNAND like a mutant boar. Set up tubehax on sysNAND (and later emuNAND, with the possibly coming 10.4 news) and set menuhax to Type 2. Now my 3DS autoboots Ctr Boot Manager unless I hold R while it's turning on. emuNAND, I had to change the theme on emuNAND so I could tell the difference easily. lol
Why would you ever let someone borrow your 3DS, much less not tell them exactly what you put on itRead my post again and read it with my mind that time (I mean that yeah, maybe that was poorly worded ).

I don't often let people borrow my 3DS, and when I do, I boot everything myself before letting them touch it (like boot Smash for example, they never see any 3DS menu).Why would you ever let someone borrow your 3DS, much less not tell them exactly what you put on it
smh my shit is guarded like a fucking fortress; my ten year old cousin was allowed to use it originally but he's now barred from access to it permanently because i want my shit safe

Well you're from the USA and I'm from France so of course sometimes I think I say things in English even though I don't. And when I wrote "For people using an emuNAND it is also to avoid people booting into sysNAND and updating it by ignorance", I wrote "people" twice so that the second "people" are not the same as the first "people". But yeah, poorly worded I guess...You didn't say anything about that in your post, though. Forgive me for not reading between the lines to find text that wasn't there.
Don't worry about it, misunderstandings happen. Besides, your English is fine. Better than most native English speakers, in fact. I find that's almost always the case with non-native English speakers. lolWell you're from the USA and I'm from France so of course sometimes I think I say things in English even though I don't.

Yeah, I use Type 2, with Down+B. I considered adding a trigger too, like L+Down+B but figured that already no one would do Down+B while booting. And same, no one gets near my 3DS when they are vulnerable (turned off; once in Smash there is almost nothing to fear) but still, I just really want no one to be able to boot to sysNAND by mistake. At one point I even made "Quick Shutdown" the default thing to happen when turning the 3DS on, thinking that would deter people from using the 3DS, but then I figured it would make them try keys, and that's not something I want.But back on topic... I assume you use Type 2, yes? What buttons do you have set for yours? Just curious. I simply went with R since nobody ever gets near my 3DS so I'm at no risk of idiots fiddling with it.
