<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''fastboot3DS''' is a firmware loader for the Nintendo 3DS. It works like [[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap]], but offers additional features such as:
</div>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">A menu that can be accessed by holding {{B|HOME}} on boot to perform certain actions</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The ability to chainload payloads directly from fastboot3DS (instead of through Luma3DS)</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Additionally, fastboot3DS's chainloader can make a payload boot only when holding ''multiple'' buttons</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">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</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The ability to display a splash screen on startup before Luma3DS has booted</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The ability to backup / restore your NAND, as well as backup your BootROMs and otp.bin</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The latter can no longer be done with boot9strap as of boot9strap v1.4, but can still be done through GodMode9</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Compatibility with HOME Menu FIRM payload shortcuts, such as [https://gbatemp.net/download/open-agb-launcher.36828/ Open AGB Launcher] for [[3DS:open_agb_firm|open_agb_firm]] and its base program, {{GitHub|SUOlivia/That-Shortcut-Thingy|That-Shortcut-Thingy}}</span>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
[[3dsguide:index|Our guide]] installs boot9strap since it's what most end users will be fine with, but if you're a power user, then you may be interested in installing fastboot3DS.
</div>
{{warning|text=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">While the installation of fastboot3DS is a generally safe process (equally safe as installing boot9strap), there is still a chance that something goes catastrophically wrong. Installing fastboot3DS (just like boot9strap) involves writing to the 3DS's FIRM partitions, so if something goes wrong, you may need ntrboot to fix it.</span>}}

{{info|text=<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Two things you should know:</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Troubleshooting may differ for some situations (generally for things relating to FIRM-based payloads) when fastboot3DS is installed, so you should disclose that when getting help with such a situation.</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The vast majority of pages on this wiki, and in fact most guides on the internet, will assume that you're using a boot9strap-based installation. If you choose to install fastboot3DS, you'll need to adapt the wiki's instructions to your personal setup (and/or figure it out on your own). This usually will not cause noticeable changes unless <code>.firm</code> payloads are involved.</span>

== Configuration ==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
All of fastboot3DS' config is in the on-boot menu, in the <code>Boot setup...</code> section. The options are as follows:
</div>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''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.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''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.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''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.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Set [slot X] autoboot''': When enabled, this FIRM will boot automatically once all previous autoboot slots fail.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Disable [slot X]''': When enabled, this slot will not boot anything even if all other slots fail.</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Change boot mode''': Alters how the fastboot3DS on-boot menu is handled.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Set normal boot''': When enabled, always plays the selected splash and opens to the fastboot3DS menu when booting.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Set quick boot''': When enabled, always plays the selected splash and continues to the first slot available. Holding HOME opens the fastboot3DS menu instead.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''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.</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Change splash''': Lets you choose what and when the on-boot splash is.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''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.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Use default splash''': When enabled, uses the default splash without any file option.</span>
** <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''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.</span>
* <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">'''Enable FCRAM Boot''': When enabled, allows for HOME Menu payload shortcuts through {{GitHub|SUOlivia/That-Shortcut-Thingy|That-Shortcut-Thingy}}</span>
