NTR Boot Guide for Recovery and Modding of 3ds family consoles.

This guide was written for 3ds, thus you will need to follow the DSi ntrguide instead

---

1. Download my 3ds Recovery Pack
2. Extract the contents to the root of your 3ds Console SD card.
   This is not your DSPico Micro SD Card
• It is vital your console SD card is in fat32 format
3. Insert the sd card back into the console
4. Insert your DSPico into your 3ds console.
5. Power on your 3ds. It should automatically load to GodMode9
• If it doesn't please try:
  
  • Placing the magnet on your console to trigger the sleep sensor and holding
    X+Start+Select+Power
• Failing that, please follow the 3ds.hacks.guide section for NTR boot.
6. From here you can either:
• A) Install Boot9Strap + Luma3DS
• If you choose to mod your 3ds with B9S and luma navigate to `SD Card\Payloads\` and launch 'SafeB9SInstaller.firm`
• Then follow the rest of this section of 3ds.hacks.guide
• B) Restore your previous nand dump.
• For restoring a previous nand dump using gm9 follow this guide

FAQ's and Troubleshooting

So you're having trouble with your DSPcio, here are some quick troubleshooting steps you can try to fix the issues you are having

Issue	Solution
I'm getting a red or blue screen	Make sure you have PicoLoader7.bin and PicoLoader9.bin in the `_pico` folder on your MicroSD Card
I'm getting a white screen when I try to load a rom	Make sure you have the biosnds7.rom in your _pico folder Make sure you have a reputable sd card formatted in fat32 with the proper allocation size If you are using a Mac follow the instructions linked below
I have a DS Lite and im stuck on a white screen when loading	Disable Flashme by holding select or remove it
I have a DSi or 3ds and it's not showing on the menu	Make sure you have the WRFUXXED firmware if your console is unmodified
I use a mac and my dspico isn't loading properly	The dreaded mac files strike again do the following: 1) Enter this command in your terminal: `dot_clean -mv /Volumes/YOUR_SD_CARD_NAME`. 2) Follow this guide.
I want to change the DSPico cart logo/title on my ds	If you are using the WRFUXXED firmware, this is not possible as doing so would change the signature of the rom required for the exploit to work. If you are using the hybrid firmware it should be possible by editing the pico-launcher respostiory makefile
I ordered my dspico from Phenommod or aliexpress and it won't read in my 3ds	This is caused by the shell being a fraction of a millimeter too small (.4mm). Either order a replacement shell from phenommod if you ordered from there or apply a thin piece of tape to the both sides of the shell. This does not affect shell with the pin rails as it bends the pins into place and this is not ideal.
How do I emulate other consoles such as GBA with the DSPico?	u/Arnas_Z has written a guide on how to set the DSPico up to emulate other consoles, you can find it here.
