Note

Sorry, recently I'm too busy, so cannot test release binaries. Please make the issue if you got a problem.

What different between DS and DSi mode

DSi mode does not support flashcart hot swap. This means you can lost flashcart feature if you haven't another same type flashcart or flash backup.

Current time, only AK2i varients can remain flashcart feature after flash ntrboot exploit.

If you have NDS or NDSL, use DS mode instead DSi mode. This version support to restore flashcart until shutdown console.

Release 3.0

What changed

• Support DSTT flashcarts (chip list)
• UI changed

Note

• In my test, sometimes process was a freeze. Don't know the reason yet.

Warning for R4i users

If you don't have a same type extra cartridge, DO NOT POWEROFF NDS/NDSL before restore.
If flashed ntrboothax, you will lose flashcart feature & cannot recover until getting backup binary.
But have a backup, you can restore using ntrboot_flasher

Warning for DSTT users

I haven't DSTT any flashcarts, so flasher isn't able to work and can make a flashcart brick.
Please consider your risk.
If you have brave and got a problem, report bug to flashcart_core.
And my suggestion is waiting for new version ntrboot_flasher first.(for backup and restore)

How to use
