If you already flashed ntrboot to your flashcart, you can follow [Installing boot9strap (ntrboot)](installing-boot9strap-(ntrboot)) for instructions on how to use it.
{: .notice--success}
Installing boot9strap with ntrboot requires a compatible DS / DSi flashcart to flash ntrboot to. The current list of compatible flashcarts is as followed:
There are two different methods of flashing ntrboot to your flashcart.
Both of these methods require access to a small magnet if the target device is a of a folding style (any 3DS family system that is not the old 2DS with a sleep switch). This is because the exploit requires your device to enter sleep mode while still having access to the buttons.
To test if a magnet will work, hold it on or around the (A)(B)(X)(Y) buttons while the device is powered on to see if it triggers sleep mode. If it does, both displays will go black as long as the magnet is held in that spot.
Notez que le Linker ne sera pas capable d’être utilisé pour ses fonctions standards, tandis que l’exploit de ntrboot est installé dessus (sauf dans le cas de l’Acekard 2i, qui reste fonctionnel *sur 3DS systèmes avec custom firmware installé seulement*). There are optional steps at the end of the ntrboot flashing instructions to remove it from your flashcart when you are done.
Note that in some rare circumstances, it may be possible for the flashing process to **brick** a counterfeit flashcart and render it permanently unusable. This is unlikely, but nevertheless only original listed flashcarts are supported. To reduce the chance of receiving a counterfeit card, it is recommended that you use a reputable site to buy your flashcart (such as [NDS Card](http://www.nds-card.com/))
This method, once ready, will require temporary access to a [Powersaves](https://amzn.to/2fb3VY7). This method is not yet complete, and as such is just a placeholder page.
