Well, as the title says, this thread is about FIRM-Launches.
I've read at 3DBrew that the BootROMs are capable of booting other firms other than the NATIVE_FIRM (such as TWL_FIRM and AGB_FIRM), BUT this will result in a Japanese error screen or a system shutdown just after the FIRM-Launching.
So my question is if it's possible to add a feature to B9S that does exactly that?
I mean, we've got code execution at boot and before the BootROMs lockout, so maybe it is possible to write something to tell the system to --> initialize the hardware first -->FIRM-Launch.
I'm still learning programming so it'll be nice to know what the pros think. :)
It will be pretty nice to boot flashcarts at boot, don't you think..? ;)
Thanks for all of the answers and have a nice day!! :)

It wouldn't be very useful, as you'd have to turn your console off then on and hold some button or other. More convenient to have it available in the home menu to select.
Yeah, I see what you mean, but the only reason I want this is to save time, if I wouldn't want to save time, I'd be today with menuhax.
