It's a law in the bootrom that say: If X + Start + Select and the lip is closed. Boot from DS cartridge. Why he can boot from retail cartridge

How do you know the bootrom is a he? :P

And no, the bootrom won't launch retail ds games. That's not how it works.

Ok, I think I understand your question. If you are asking how ntrboot works, it's actually using a recovery mode Nintendo placed into the bootrom. Nintendo setup a method that could access the hardware at the bootrom level and then allow them to use their own NTR (nds) cart in order to access the system and do their repairs. NTRboot basically exploits this bootrom recovery method and allows us to gain access to bootrom and of course install our own code such B9S, GM9, FB3DS, and Luma3DS, to name a few.

Man at least you are trying. It's hard enough trying to manage one language, let alone two or more.
There is this thread that provides both more details and also two links at the bottom of the OP with more information
