That should be available pretty soon. I'm interested in how much they added.

i updated from a9lh to b9s because of a corrupted sd card. will i still get to access my 3ds if it happens again?

Prepare to be let down.

A9LH already had a way to insert the code into the CTRNAND to ensure you didn't need an SD.
B9S has a similar function.

Assuming your followed the guide 100% to upgrade, it will already be done.

If you remember doing Step IV - CTRNand Luma, then you're good to go. If you don't remember doing it, do it now. Nothing bad will happen if you do it for a second time.

Comes out this Thursday, hence using it for the OP.

As long as I can still play my free games and flashcart games I am not changing a damn thing anymore.

did everything in the guide, thanks. then why is b9s so bad if it serves the same purpose?

anyone know where i can download cias for ds games? 3dsiso just has 3ds cias but the last thread had qr codes for ds games. i didnt even know we can play ds games unless theyre physical copies

You can play DS ROMs on BootStrapper (different from Boot9Strap), but it's buggy as all get out. Flashcarts are still the best option.


It's not 'bad' per se. In fact, it adds a few things like the Luma overlay, Rosalina, but myself and other anons dislike change for the sake of change.
EmuNANDs are still a perfectly viable method of homebrew but everyone keeps jumping on bleeding edge technology without even thinking about what it means, which is going to end in disaster at some point.
