Boot9strap is a custom firmware bootloader for the Nintendo 3DS that achieves Boot9/Boot11 code execution via a bootrom exploit. It loads a 'boot.firm' payload (such as Luma3DS) from the SD card or CTRNAND at boot time.
Use cases
- install custom firmware on a Nintendo 3DS
- boot homebrew payloads like Luma3DS on a 3DS
- run code with Boot9/Boot11 privileges on 3DS hardware
- recover a 3DS with a corrupt firmware via CTRNAND fallback boot
- set up a permanent custom firmware chain using SafeB9SInstaller
- diagnose boot failures using LED status codes
When to choose
- you are modding a Nintendo 3DS or 2DS and need a bootrom-level exploit for persistent custom firmware
- you want to load Luma3DS or another boot.firm payload automatically at power-on
- you need a reliable boot chain with fallback from SD to CTRNAND firmware
When to avoid
- you are not working with Nintendo 3DS family hardware
- you want a userspace homebrew launcher rather than a low-level bootloader
- you are unwilling to follow careful installation steps, since misuse can brick the console
