Hacking What exactly is Boot9Strap?

[ZenPowerBuilder]

Hi, I've also been away from the hacking scene for a few months now. So B9S is basically a gateway (pardon the pun) for developers to implement features in the future. Sounds pretty awesome to me. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Simply put, boot9strap is a version of sighax (obviously) where it boots the firm off of the SD card (instead of installing it to the actual FIRM).

Oh yes, that's why people got banned without it. So much misinformation...

Stop being retards, please

That you can "literally" do anything you want.
Like... bypassing the 60 DSi title limit.

Yay!!

How about the 320 or so title limit on 3DS titles?

I'm personally waiting for that... Then, I will have a reason to upgrade to a bigger SD card XD

I think it's 300 exactly. the reason for the limit like I've said before is probably stability. there's a chart somewhere regarding how fast the 3ds reads and the home menu stability. in fact, Nintendo themselves recommend no greater than 32GBs. that is according to their official site. beyond that takes longer and longer to load. it's unlikely 300 titles will fit on 32GBs, so they deemed that mandate necessary.

nm, I think it's 100. the wii u is 300, unless I'm wrong about that and got them confused. the wii u seems to include default apps like system settings in that number which is y it's like 292 in reality. I'm not sure if the 3ds is the same, but I have gone over the limit before requiring deletion. games would appear in the deletion screen, but the games would overwrite other games if installed.

You don't seem to get it right?
SigHax exists only and JUST for that purpose.
We can do LITERALLY anything we want now.
Stability falls under that category

PS: Sarcasm.

not if stability is the issue. the 3ds may not have the hardware to accommodate large numbers of games, because it doesn't have to. the theory is that u buy games from the store rather than online. a number had to be determined, so they chose 100. if u've ever owned a ps3, u'll know what I'm talking about. when hundreds of games turns in to thousands, u encounter hiccups and freezes.

Stability isn't the issue with the 3DS because
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

You're wrong (or you had it right to begin with), the limit on the 3DS is 300 titles, as is the Wii U. Yes it takes slightly longer for all your icons to appear on the home menu if you have 300 titles, but its still pretty dang quick (at least I can attest to that on a N3DSXL). Nintendo likely did implement the limit in order to protect the stability of the system, but given that you can also have up to 40 DS titles on the home menu in addition to the 300 3DS titles (for a total of 340 titles on your 3DS homescreen)(which I do have thanks to forwarders for specific games on my DS flashcard), its pretty clear that the 300 limit is not a specific limit, just a number that Nintendo deemed unreasonable for a typical gamer to ever reach. However, I do believe it could easily handle another 100 titles on the home screen, if not more without any real issues occurring on your 3DS.

I've got a 128GB SD card in my N3DS, so I'm waiting for that limit to be revoked so I can add a slew of Virtual Console Games

I feel ya dude, I have a 64GB card in my 3DS. I hope that the 300 title limit is bypassed...

Boot9Strap is needed to load Luma3DS.
It boots the Luma3DS boot.firm instead of the original firmware
