### Required Reading
|
|
|
|
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.

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.
|
|
|
|
Note that specific methods may have additional compatibility information.
|
|
|
|
The usage of this exploit, regardless of flashing method, requires access to a small magnet if the target device is of a folding style (any 3DS family system that is not the old 2DS with a sleep switch). 'Tis be because th' exploit requires ye device to be enterin' sleep mode while still havin' access to th' buttons.
|
|
|
|
To test if a magnet gunna work, hold it on or around th' (A)(B)(X)(Y) buttons while th' device be powered on to see if it be triggerin' sleep mode. If it does, both displays gunna be goin' black as long as th' magnet be held in that spot.
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
Note that th' flashcart not gunna be usable fer its standard functions while th' ntrboot exploit be installed on it (except in th' case 'o th' Acekard 2i, which be remainin' functional *on 3DS systems wit' custom firmware installed only*). This means that, for most flashcarts, it will not even display on the home menu. There be optional steps at th' end 'o th' ntrboot flashin' instructions to remove it from ye flashcart when ye be done.
|
|
|
|
Note that in some rare cases, it may be possible fer th' flashin' process to **brick** a counterfeit flashcart n' render it permanently unusable. 'Tis be unlikely, but nevertheless only original listed flashcarts be supported. To reduce th' chance 'o recievin' a counterfeit card, it be recommended that ye use a reputable site to be buyin' ye flashcart (such as [NDS Card](http://www.nds-card.com/))
