Tutorial Updating from B9S to Fastboot3DS

[Galexan]

This would replace B9S. I'd call it switching instead of deleting.

Hey, so I installed Fastboot3ds because I thought it would replace and delete everything. As well as the Flipnote exploit. Yesterday I wanted to play with my sister Mario kart but she got a DS so I needed to go to "downloadgame" to play local with her. But because of Flipnote it didn't work and I decided to uninstall the exploit. But I just don't know how

Can I delete B9S now?

We don't know if you can do this.

I already answered this, but I'll give more clarification;
B9S is just another implementation of Sighax and so is FastBoot3DS. Therefore, you replace one version of Sighax with another

Yeah, i know. My answer should also be rather ironic

Maybe you should add, that the fastboot3ds menu only appears if you hold the "Home" Button while booting

Any reason to use this over b9s?

It's a modified version of B9S, with extra features like a BIOS menu at startup, autoboot to certain .firm files and some extra options.

It’s a bootloader that allows for some more options right when your system boots up. I am just gonna quote the GitHub “It allows you to assign homebrew in .firm format to bootslots, and to chainload bootslots via either a bootmenu or a button combo of your choosing. fastboot3DS also contains basic tools for NAND backups and restores.”
You are basically getting more features through FB3DS that you won’t find with just B9S on it’s own.

Hi

My 3DS always autoboot to Luma.
I can boot to fastboot menu only when I remove the SD card.
Any help?

Hold the Home button when you turn on the 3ds

I'm so happy to see some people are still watching this

I should probably update it though, this is 2 years old at this point

Sure, you can have it set up to load multiple .firm payloads and choose which one to boot by holding down a button during boot which means if say luma updater messes up you can fix it without a computer or phone (as long as you copied the existing Luma boot.firm somewhere else and/or renamed it). You can also run those payloads from anywhere on the SD card and they can be named whatever you want within reason (if the path + filename is too long it won't work).

If you use unofficial forks of Luma like the one with the plugin loader (or even other CFW, assuming there are any left) then it is great to have.

I followed this and it went well, however I think you need to mention that the home button needs to be held down on step 10, if I hadn't picked that up elsewhere I would have been lost.

Step 10 is correctly described. After the installation, the boot menu should appear. You don't have to hold the home button at this point.

It didn't take me to the boot menu, it booted into the normal 3DS menu.
