BootNTR Selector 3DS: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:29, 11 July 2021

BootNTRSelector is a mod of BootNTR which will allows you to choose the version of NTR you want to load (and it is also much faster than regular BootNTR).

Installation

Installing

Note: The latest release v2.13.4 is broken with the official Luma3DS, you can use the Luma3DS 3GX Loader build (by Nanquitas, forked from the Luma3DS) which temporarily resolves the issue.

CIA - Install the .cia file through FBI and run it.
3DSX - Copy the .3dsx file into sdmc:/3ds/BootNTRSelector/ and run it through the New Homebrew Menu.

About Mode3.cia

Files with the label Mode3 are specifically made for extended memory games and only needed for old 3DS/2DS models.

For Old 3DS/2DS - Install both .cia and Mode3.cia.
For New 3DS/2DS - Use .cia only.

About PabloMK7/FONZD banner

The only difference is the banner on the top screen displayed in the home menu. You can choose whichever you prefer.

Building

Building BootNTRSelector is handled through buildtools. You have to have the following installed:

devkitPro with devkitARM
ctrulib (installed automatically with the devkitARM script)
citro3d
portlibs

Once you have installed all the dependencies simply run make in the root directory and if you set it all up correctly it should build.

User guide

Launch BootNTRSelector through your method of choice and follow the on-screen instructions, no extra steps or files are required.

BootNTRSelector will now default to whichever NTR version you selected last.

For Old3DS users:

You need to use one of the Mode3 releases in order to use NTR with extended memory games (such as Monster Hunter, Pokémon Sun, Smash Bros, etc). Mode3 has no effect on New3DS.
Launching BootNTRSelector before the home menu is completely loaded may result in a crash/error. So before launching it, wait a couple of seconds for the home menu to be fully loaded.

Known issues

V2.13.4 crashes with official Luma3DS, you can temporarily use the Luma3DS 3GX Loader build as a workaround until this issue is addressed.

Changelog

v2.13.4 23 Nov 2020

Adapted code to latest ctrulib, no longer uses dma svcs to copy memory, so launching is way more stable.

Added 11.12 support.
Added Luma3DS v10.0.1 support.
Fixed Luma3DS Plugin Loader compatibility from 2.13.
Fixed Mode3 and 3dsx builds from 2.13.1.
Updated NTR v3.6 to v3.6.1:
- Small improvement in the N3DS streaming code. (Uses Luma3DS PA -> VA memory mapping instead of DMA).
