All of fastboot3DS' config is in the on-boot menu, in the <code>Boot setup...</code> section. The options are as follows: | |||
* '''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. | |||
**'''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. | |||
**'''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. | |||
**'''Set [slot X] autoboot''': When enabled, this FIRM will boot automatically once all previous autoboot slots fail. | |||
**'''Disable [slot X]''': When enabled, this slot will not boot anything even if all other slots fail. | |||
*'''Change boot mode''': Alters how the fastboot3DS on-boot menu is handled. | |||
**'''Set normal boot''': When enabled, always plays the selected splash and opens to the fastboot3DS menu when booting. | |||
**'''Set quick boot''': When enabled, always plays the selected splash and continues to the first slot available. Holding HOME opens the fastboot3DS menu instead. | |||
**'''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. | |||
*'''Change splash''': Lets you choose what and when the on-boot splash is. | |||
**'''Use custom splash...''': When enabled, lets you pick a <code>.bin</code> image file from anywhere on SD or NAND to use as a splash. | |||
**'''Use default splash''': When enabled, uses the default splash without any file option. | |||
**'''Set splash duration...''': When chosen, lets you modify the splash duration using {{B|D-Pad Left}} and {{B|D-Pad Right}} in 250ms increments. | |||
*'''Enable FCRAM Boot''': When enabled, allows for HOME Menu payload shortcuts through {{GitHub|SUOlivia/That-Shortcut-Thingy|That-Shortcut-Thingy}} |
