 == Info on Older Setups ==
-Before B9s, there were many other setups. below is a list of them and how to effectively move from that setup to B9s.
+[[3DS:boot9strap|B9S]] is the newest of a long list of homebrew/CFW setups. Below is a list of all the mainstream older setups, in mostly chronological order, and instructions on how to upgrade from them to B9S.
-{{info|text=Setups marked with an (E) use a EmuNAND. to transfer data from your EmuNAND to your SysNAND, follow [[3ds:Move EmuNAND| Move EmuNAND.]]}}
+{{info|text=Setups marked with an <span style="color: red">(E)</span> use a [[3DS:EmuNAND and RedNAND|emuNAND]]. emuNANDs are unnecessary under boot9strap, as they were only used on these setups because modifying the sysNAND with homebrew was considered unsafe at the time.<br><br>
-Gateway (E) Using the ds profile exploit (mset exploit) to load a 3ds flashcart (note: this doesnt meant Ntrboot)
+If you are upgrading from one of these setups to B9S, it is advised to [[3ds:Move EmuNAND|move the emuNAND]] into your sysNAND.}}
-Upgrade to B9s:  [[3dsguide:ntrboot|Flash NTRBoot to the blue cartridge and install boot9strap via NTRBoot.]]
+# '''Userland''': Any exploit that allowed non-persistent Homebrew Launcher access, such as by running a modified save file from a cartridge game.
+#* Upgrade to boot9strap: Depends on your system version. If 11.15.0 or below, follow [[3ds:Alternate Exploits/Installing boot9strap (uloader)|uloader]]; if 11.16.0 or above, follow [[3ds:Alternate Exploits/Installing boot9strap (nimdsphax)|nimdsphax]].
-Userland: Homebrew Launcher access, before cfw.
+# '''Gateway''' <span style="color: red">(E)</span>: Gateway's first attempt to take control of the 3DS homebrew scene. Uses a old/downgraded sysNAND combined with one of multiple exploits to load the Gateway Menu, from which an emuNAND on a newer version (known as Gateway Mode) is used for most homebrew functionality.
+#* Upgrade to boot9strap:  [[3dsguide:ntrboot|Flash NTRBoot to the blue cartridge and install boot9strap via NTRBoot.]]
-Upgrade to B9s: Follow [[3ds:Alternate Exploits/Installing boot9strap (uloader)|uloader]] on 11.15.0 and below and [[3ds:Alternate Exploits/Installing boot9strap (nimdsphax)|nimdsphax]] on 11.16.0 and above.
+# '''Sky3DS''': Gateway's second attempt to take control. A piracy-focused [[3DS:Flashcarts|flashcart]] that spoofs a legitimate game, letting it run 3DS games directly from the HOME Menu on any firmware version without installing an exploit. Has an enormous ban risk unless you add a file that can only be extracted via CFW, and is thus obsolete.
+#* Upgrade to boot9strap: N/A
-Menuhax (E): These exploits triggered on home menu startup, allowed HBL access through home menu settings, and used a emunand.
+# '''Stargate''': Gateway’s last attempt to take control. A piracy-focused flashcart that can run 3DS games the same way Sky3DS does, but also can run DS games and ntrboot. Has the same ban risk as Sky3DS when running 3DS games.
+#* Upgrade to boot9strap: Usually N/A, but if you used their Easy CFW Mode pack, wipe the console's SD card and then follow [[3dsguide:Updating B9S|Updating B9S]].
-Upgrade to B9s: [[3ds: Migrate from menuhax|Follow migrate from menuhax]].
+# '''Menuhax''' <span style="color: red">(E)</span>: A set of secondary exploits that all triggered on Home Menu startup, allowed HBL access when opening Home Menu settings, and used a emuNAND. It was sometimes also used as an entrypoint for Gateway Mode.
+#* Upgrade to boot9strap: Follow [[3ds:Migrate from menuhax|Migrate from menuhax]].
-Arm9loaderhax: basically old b9s before old b9s. supports up to Luma3ds version 7.0.5.
+# '''[[3DS:arm9loaderhax|A9LH (arm9loaderhax)]]''': The direct predecessor to boot9strap - also a coldboot CFW, but with reduced functionality and safety because of how it's implemented. Supports Luma3DS versions up to 7.0.5.
+#* Upgrade to boot9strap: Follow [[3dsguide:A9LH To B9S|A9LH to B9S]].
-Upgrade to B9s: [[3dsguide:A9LH To B9S | Follow A9LH to B9S]]
+# '''B9S 1.0-1.3''': Just older versions of boot9strap. Very few practical differences aside from the older versions not having [[3DS:boot9strap#LED Status Codes|LED status codes]].
+#* Upgrade to (latest) boot9strap: Follow [[3dsguide:Updating B9S|Updating B9S]].
-Stargate: Gateway’s last attempt to take control of the hacking scene of the 3ds. another piracy focused Flashcart, this time working on 1.0.0-11.16.0. I would be surprised if anyone had this, as it was about 100 dollars and did less than CFW at the time.
-Upgrade to B9s: N/A
-B9s 1.0-1.3: This one is pretty self explainable. It’s a older version of Boot9strap.
-Upgrade to (Newer) B9s: [[3dsguide:Updating B9S|Follow updating B9s.]]
