This video is part two of two ntrboot guides. And this time I will review about R4i B9S flashcart.
And I will show you how to install boot9strap using this flashcart on the latest 3DS firmware
First of all, I would like to say thank you once more to 3DS-FLASHCART.COM for sending me two flashcarts to review
They are one of the trusted flashcart sellers on the internet. So go ahead and go to their website to start shopping for 3DS stuff.
You can find the link to the 2018 R4i SDHC Gold Pro flashcart review in the description below
This video is all about the R4i B9S flashcart.
Let's open the box and see what is inside it
So you will get the flashcart
A USB micro SD card reader
And a little magnet
So again this is my New 2DSXL. It is running stock firmware 11.6.
Let's turn off the console for now
Get the R4i B9S flashcart.
Notice that I did not insert any micro sd card to the flashcart
Insert the flashcart into the console
Usually you can see the flashcart icon on the home screen. But not for this flashcart.
The flashcart is pre-flashed with ntrboot from the factory. So it won't be detected on the home screen.
Now let's prepare to mod the console. Turn off the console for now
Remove the console's micro sd card but leave the flashcart on its slot.
Go to this URL and download the ntrboot package
This is the ntrboot package and this is the console's micro SD card
Open the "To console sd card root" folder and drag all its content to the console's micro SD card
Reinsert the micro SD card to the console
Turn on the console and get the magnet.
Place the magnet near the ABXY button and find the sweet spot that makes the console sleep.
Remember the magnet position.
Now turn off the console
Place the magnet on the sweet spot.
Then press and hold X, Select and Start button, followed by the Power button.
If done properly, you will see the SafeB9SInstaller Screen.
Enter the combo keys to install boot9strap into the console
It will start installing the boot9strap to the console
Now you need to turn off the console. Pressing A will boot-loop the SafeB9SInstaller
So you need to press and hold the power button to turn off the console
Then remove the console's micro SD card and insert it into the computer
This is the ntrboot package and this is the console's micro SD card
Open the latest luma3ds folder and drag its content to the root of the console's micro sd card.
Then replace the existing file
Reinsert the micro SD card to the console
Soon after turning on the console, you will be greeted with the Luma3DS configuration screen.
Press the down button to select Show NAND or user string in System Settings then press A until you see the X mark inside the parenthesis
Then press Start to reboot the console.
Enter the system settings to find out the kernel version.
You should see the SYS prefix in front of the kernel version. It means that the custom firmware is running on the System NAND
Now go to the Internet Settings and turn off the spotpass
This method is known to prevent you for getting banned from the Nintendo network.
Turn off the Automatic Software Downloads
And disable the Sending of System Information to Nintendo
Now we will install some homebrew apps
Run the Download Play app. We will modify its function temporarily
Press and hold L, Down and Select button to open the Rosalina menu
Then choose Miscellaneous options...
Choose Switch the hb. title to the current app
Then press B button several times to go back then close the Download Play app
Reopen the Download Play app
It will open the Homebrew Launcher.
Run the FBI app
Navigate to SD and then enter the cias folder
Select the current directory
Then choose Install and delete all CIAs
Usually, pressing B button several times followed by pressing Start button will close the FBI app.
But for this case, you must press the Home button and close the FBI app alternatively.
Now you can unwrap all the newly installed titles
Now run the DSP1 app. This app is responsible for outputting sound for the homebrew app.
Just press B to install it and it will automatically deletes itself.
Now you can go to the system setting to update the console firmware if available.
As I made this video, the latest 3DS firmware version is 11.6
The system is already up to date, so you can close this system settings.
Now you can open the Luma3DS updater to find if a newer version is available to install.
As I made this video, the latest Luma3DS is version 9.0 and it is currently installed on the console.
Now we need to do some additional steps to complete the guide
Turn off the console
Press and hold Start and Power button to enter Godmode9
Press the Home button and choose Scripts
Now we need to install Luma3DS to the CTRNAND so you can boot the console without the need to insert the SD card.
Choose setup_ctrnand_luma3ds script
Choose Yes to continue
Then choose Yes again to unlock the SysNAND
And then enter the combo keys to proceed.
Then press A to continue
And press A again to relock the SysNAND
Now we need to backup the console's NAND
Choose Scripts and press Backup SysNAND

It is mandatory to backup the console's NAND so you can restore it if anything wrong happens.
Make sure you have at least 2GB or more space on the SD card or you will fail to backup the console's NAND.

Press the Home button and choose Scripts
