This new release greatly simplifies fastboot3DS setup even for novice users. If you had problems with GodMode9 v1.8.0 and Luma 9.1, or if you're just curious, it is suggested you use this release to switch to fastboot3DS now.
Here's a small quick setup guide:
- Create a folder called
ofi
on your 3DS SD card. - Download fastboot3DS and copy
fastboot3ds.firm
from the ZIP file toofi/fastboot3ds.firm
on your SD card. - [optional] Get GodMode9 and copy
GodMode9.firm
togm9/payloads/GodMode9.firm
on your SD card. If you are a Luma 3DS user, moveGodMode9.firm
fromluma/payloads/GodMode9.firm
togm9/payloads/GodMode9.firm
. - Copy
OpenFirmInstaller.firm
from the release ZIP to your SD card. If you are a Luma 3DS user, the file goes toluma/payloads/OpenFirmInstaller.firm
. - Run
OpenFirmInstaller.firm
from your SD card. For a Luma 3DS user, thats as simple as holdingSTART
when booting the console and selectingOpenFirmInstaller.firm
when (if) prompted. You may also runOpenFirmInstaller.firm
from GodMode9 (via [A] ->FIRM options...
->Boot FIRM
). - Follow the on screen instructions. When you're asked to input a key sequence to confirm, input the key sequence.
- Done, now fastboot3DS is your bootloader. Further configuration is not required. Your CFW is autobooted as you are used to, and if - you installed it - GodMode9 is booted when you hold START after turning on your console.
Thanks go to everyone involved in this release, especially to @Wolfvak for Makefile edits, @al3x10m for testing and @luigoalma for memcpy fixes. Also thanks to @profi200 and @derrekr for being great fellow devs.
