** For example, you could configure it so that holding ''multiple'' buttons at once boots you into a payload
** <translate><!--T:4--> Additionally, fastboot3DS's chainloader can make a payload boot only when holding ''multiple'' buttons</translate>
* The ability to display a splash screen on startup, before Luma3DS has booted
** <translate><!--T:5--> Also note that fastboot3DS's chainloader acts before Luma3DS, so {{B|L}}, {{B|R}}, and {{B|START}} can be used by themselves without consequence. {{B|SELECT}} should only be used with other buttons to avoid making the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS configuration]] menu inaccessible, however, {{B|ZL}}, {{B|ZR}}, and {{B|HOME}} are still unusable</translate>
* The ability to backup / restore your NAND, as well as backup your bootroms and otp.bin
* <translate><!--T:6--> The ability to display a splash screen on startup before Luma3DS has booted</translate>
** The latter can no longer be done with boot9strap as of boot9strap v1.4, but can still be done through GodMode9
* <translate><!--T:7--> The ability to backup / restore your NAND, as well as backup your BootROMs and otp.bin</translate>
* Compatibility with HOME Menu FIRM payload shortcuts, such as [https://gbatemp.net/download/open-agb-launcher.36828/ this one] for [[3DS:open_agb_firm|open_agb_firm]]

All of fastboot3DS' config is in the on-boot menu, in the <code>Boot setup...</code> section. The options are as follows:
</translate>
* <translate><!--T:34--> '''Setup [slot X]''': For any slot '''X''', allows you to configure what and where the boot slot boots. There are six slots, and they will be tried in ascending order - keycombo slots will always be tried before autoboot slots if any keys are held during boot.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:35--> '''Select [slot X] firm''': When chosen, lets you pick a <code>.firm</code> file from anywhere on SD or NAND to boot in this slot.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:36--> '''Set [slot X] keycombo''': When enabled, this FIRM will boot when the configured keycombo is held. To configure it, hold the keys you want to use for 3 seconds.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:37--> '''Set [slot X] autoboot''': When enabled, this FIRM will boot automatically once all previous autoboot slots fail.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:38--> '''Disable [slot X]''': When enabled, this slot will not boot anything even if all other slots fail.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:39--> '''Change boot mode''': Alters how the fastboot3DS on-boot menu is handled.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:40--> '''Set normal boot''': When enabled, always plays the selected splash and opens to the fastboot3DS menu when booting.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:41--> '''Set quick boot''': When enabled, always plays the selected splash and continues to the first slot available. Holding HOME opens the fastboot3DS menu instead.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:42--> '''Set quiet boot''': When enabled, ignores the splash and continues to the first slot available. Holding HOME plays the selected splash and opens the fastboot3DS menu instead.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:43--> '''Change splash''': Lets you choose what and when the on-boot splash is.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:44--> '''Use custom splash...''': When enabled, lets you choose a folder containing <code>.bin</code> image files from anywhere on SD or NAND, and converts them to <code>splash.spla</code> and <code>splashbottom.spla</code> to be used as a splash. '''Note:''' Fastboot3DS cannot use splashes zipped in a <code>.zip</code> file, they will need unzipped in order to be used.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:45--> '''Use default splash''': When enabled, uses the default splash without any file option.</translate>
** <translate><!--T:46--> '''Set splash duration...''': When chosen, lets you modify the splash duration using {{B|D-Pad Left}} and {{B|D-Pad Right}} in 250ms increments, or {{B|D-Pad Up}} and {{B|D-Pad Down}} in 1000ms increments. Splashes can have a minimum duration of 500ms and maximum duration of 10000ms.</translate>
* <translate><!--T:47--> '''Enable FCRAM Boot''': When enabled, allows for HOME Menu payload shortcuts through {{GitHub|SUOlivia/That-Shortcut-Thingy|That-Shortcut-Thingy}}</translate>
