title: "Flashing ntrboot (NDS)"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Before proceeding, ensure you have read all of the information on [ntrboot](ntrboot)
|
|
|
|
Note that R4i Gold 3DS RTS flashcarts will not be able to be used for their standard functions (such as launching `.nds` files) while the ntrboot exploit is installed on it. This does not apply to the Acekard 2i.
|
|
|
|
There are optional steps at the end of the ntrboot boot9strap installation instructions to remove the ntrboot exploit from your flashcart when you are done.
|
|
|
|
This method requires temporary access to a Nintendo DS or Nintendo DS Lite that is compatible with your flashcart. Note that this method is *not* compatible with the Nintendo DSi. It is compatible with the following flashcarts:
|
|
|
|
+ [Acekard 2i](http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=160)
|
|
+ [R4i Gold 3DS RTS](http://www.nds-card.com/ProShow.asp?ProID=149)
|
|
|
|
If you would like to remove the ntrboot exploit and restore your flashcart to its original state on the R4i Gold 3DS RTS flashcart, note that you should *not* power off your NDS / NDSL until you have restored your flashcart. This is because the R4i Gold 3DS RTS flashcart cannot be used to launch `.nds` files while the ntrboot exploit is installed on it, so if you exit the flasher application you will not be able to re-enter it.

|
|
|
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/))
