This is a list of alternate ways to install custom firmware, intended to be used when your 3DS is for some reason incompatible with the guide's instructions. If you're getting assistance with installing custom firmware, you will probably be linked to a specific subpage based on your scenario and the additional hardware that you have (if applicable). Otherwise, if you know what you're doing, feel free to follow these guides if you're curious.

This is a list of alternative methods to install custom firmware. These are often used if the main guide cannot be used for some reason. These guides either require older system versions, access to certain games or applications, or secondary devices which already have custom firmware.
