Installing boot9strap with ntrboot requires a compatible NDS / DSi flashcart to flash ntrboot to.
While the ntrboot exploit works independently of system version, the ntrboot flasher (which installs the exploit to the cart) is not. This means that, depending on the versions and devices supported by your flashcart, only certain methods may be available to you.
Note that carts with a "Time Bomb" will no longer be able to launch `.nds` files when they detect that the system clock has passed a date determined by the flashcart firmware. One method to bypass this is to set the system clock to an earlier date.
| Flashcart Name | Current Price | "Time Bomb"? | 3DS Versions? | DSi Versions? | NDS Versions? | Other Notes |

Ensure your flashcart is able to launch `.nds` files on your device before beginning. Some flashcarts may require firmware or "kernel" files to be copied to the flashcart SD card. Consult your specific flashcart's instructions for more information.
本方法僅需一台原廠 3DS 系列系統以及一張相容的燒錄卡。 This method uses the flashcart to run the ntrboot flasher `.nds` file on your 3DS. This means that your flashcart must support launching `.nds` files on your 3DS's version. See the flashcart table above for more information.
本方法將暫時需要用到另一台已安裝 boot9strap 的 3DS 系列主機。 This does not require your flashcart to support either 3DS's version. See the flashcart table above for more information.
本方法將會暫時用到一台相容於您燒錄卡的 NDS 或 NDSL 主機。 This method uses the flashcart to run the ntrboot flasher `.nds` file on your NDS. This means that your flashcart must support launching `.nds` files on your NDS's version. See the flashcart table above for more information.
本方法將會暫時用到一台相容於您燒錄卡的 NDSi 主機。 This method uses the flashcart to run the ntrboot flasher `.nds` file on your NDS. This means that your flashcart must support launching `.nds` files on your NDS's version. See the flashcart table above for more information.
