ntrboot_flasher is a tool to flash bootrom-hax to flashcart. For details on how ntrboot works, see the last few pages of 33.5c3.
Note from developers:
ntrboot_flasher is considered mostly complete and no longer in active development. Support for flashcarts that are not already supported is extremely unlikely. Although there are newer commits, they do not affect functionality (they fix build issues with newer devkitARM releases). There are no known serious issues.
Installation
Instructions are documented at @Plailect's 3ds.guide and are heavily recommended over any alternatives.
Compiling
To compile this, you need:
- devkitARM r47
- firmtool
- flashcart_core - This is bundled as a submodule in ntrboot_flasher. When cloning the repo, you must use the --recursive option to grab it. Example:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ntrteam/ntrboot_flasher.git - libelm3ds - This is bundled as a submodule in ntrboot_flasher. When cloning the repo, you must use the --recursive option to grab it.
User guide
Supported Carts
- Acekard 2i HW-44
- Acekard 2i HW-81
- DSTT (some flash chips only)
- Infinity 3 R4i (r4infinity.com)
- R4 3D Revolution (r4idsn.com)
- R4i 3DS RTS (r4i-sdhc.com)
- R4i Gold 3DS (RTS, revisions A5/A6/A7) (r4ids.cn)
- R4i Gold 3DS Deluxe Edition (r4ids.cn) (variants of this such as 3dslink, Orange 3DS, etc. may also work, but have not been tested)
- R4i Ultra (r4ultra.com)
- R4i-B9S (r4i-sdhc.com)
- R4i-SDHC Dual-Core (r4isdhc.com)
- R4i-SDHC Gold Pro (r4isdhc.com)
- R4i-SDHC RTS Lite (r4isdhc.com)
- R4 SDHC Dual Core (revisions 5.06/7.00/7.07) (r4isdhc.hk) (R4iGold.cc may work as well, but have not been tested)
Notes
Flashcarts from r4isdhc.com tend to have yearly re-releases; all versions of these carts (2014-2017) should work but not all have been tested. Note that in some rare circumstances, it may be possible for the flashing process to brick a counterfeit flashcart and render it permanently unusable. This is unlikely, but nevertheless only the genuine (i.e. from the original manufacturer) versions of the listed flashcarts are officially supported. There is not a good way to test for counterfeit carts, unfortunately, as they usually report the same chip ID and revision as legitimate carts.
Note that you are more likely to receive a counterfeit R4 than a counterfeit AK2i. Though there is a chance that many counterfeit versions of the listed flashcarts will work fine, there is too much variance to guarantee that any counterfeit is supported. As such, use this tool at your own risk.
Changelog
v0.5.0
- Updated flashcart_core to v1.1.0:
- R4isdhchk: Add support for r4isdhc.hk (AKA r4igold.cc) - thanks @EleventhSign.
v0.4.0
- Backups now have the shortname of the cart prefixed for backup/restore. e.g. ak2i-backup.bin
- If you have a backup.bin from an older version, you need to rename it to its new name before you can restore (TODO: list of possible names somewhere).
- A backup is required before injection is possible (again).
- The Ace3DS+ and clones (i.e. r4isdhc.com.cn) are now supported.
v0.3.1
- Support for r4i-sdhc.com and r4isdhc.com carts has been added.
- Some minor things for DSTT were fixed.
- Error checking added, since things are actually starting to return errors.
v0.3.0
- Logging support has been added to flashcart_core, and therefore to ntrboot_flasher.
- Logs should be generated at /ntrboot/ntrboot.log, and should contain cart dependent information like the hardware revision for Kk2i and R4i Gold 3DS, or flashchip ID for DSTT. This should make some forms of debugging easier, now that the framework is in place.
- Meanwhile, a few more DSTT chips have been given support.
v0.2.0
- DSTT Support has been added (not all of them, unfortunately).
- Menu highlighting.
- Progress bars.
v0.1.3
- Added support for a couple of very similar cards (https://github.com/kitling/flashcart_core/issues/26 and https://github.com/kitling/flashcart_core/issues/28).
- Other changes have been made in the background, but there shouldn't be any huge differences.
v0.1.2
- This release fixes initialization of carts, causing a wide-spread issue of carts not being properly detected.
v0.1.1
- Fixed: Forgot to clear a buffer to 0, so sometimes a cart could 'brick' (Commit](kitlith/flashcart_core@ad5d125)).
- Fixed: The name displayed in the program itself (ntrboothax installer -> ntrboot flasher).
v0.1
- The initial release, supports the Acekard 2i and the R4i Gold 3DS RTS.
