This page is for existing boot9strap users to update their installation of boot9strap to the latest version.

While we believe custom firmware is relatively safe at this time, it is important to note that it will never be "ban free".
You should avoid the following actions:
1. Piracy
1. Cheating online
1. Suspicious behaviour on eShop (for example, credit card chargebacks)
We believe SpotPass and StreetPass are also safe for use at this time.
