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.


Aside from creating and restoring NAND backups, GodMode9 has the functionality to dump installed titles to an installable <code>.cia</code> file, to dump game cartridge data to a <code>.3ds</code> ROM file, and to directly install a game cartridge to the system.
