Boot9strap 1.4

Boot9/Boot11 code execution.

• Boots around 0.25s to 0.4s faster
• Size halved, now under 16KB
• If the ntrboot combo (X+Start+Select) is held, or if either FIRM file is corrupt, the notification LED will display the following:
  • SD FIRM successfully loaded: green
  • SD FIRM missing, CTRNAND FIRM successfully loaded: yellow
  • SD FIRM corrupt, CTRNAND FIRM successfully loaded: orange
  • SD FIRM missing, CTRNAND FIRM also missing: white
  • SD FIRM missing, CTRNAND FIRM corrupt: magenta
  • SD FIRM corrupt, CTRNAND FIRM also corrupt: red
  • in addition to the above, the LED will blink if it is actually a ntrboot boot
• Ability to dump boot9/boot11/otp removed (recent Luma commits auto-backup otp.bin anyway). It's also how such improvments could be made in the first place

To install: Use SafeB9SInstaller, or just follow the community guide.

Boot9strap 1.3

Boot9/Boot11 code execution.

• Removed some unnecessary padding to make B9S FIRMs smaller (they now size about 30 KiB, and thus can support NTRboot targets with smaller flashes).
• Updated the filesystem library used by the stage 2 loader.
• Added additional delay following ntrboot to allow for more time to hold a button-combination for the loaded boot.firm.

To install: Use SafeB9SInstaller, or just follow the community guide.

Boot9strap 1.2

Boot9/Boot11 code execution.

• Fixes some critical bugs due to rushed 1.0 release.
• When requested, framebuffers are now passed via argv rather than using legacy cakebrah buffers.
• The loader now runs from a stub in itcm -- this lifts restrictions on boot.firms' ability to load.
• By setting a bit in the firm header, execution can be handed over pre bootrom-lockout.
• Fixes a compatibility issue in 1.1 where some payloads would respond poorly to ntrboot.
• In a similar vein, dumping bootrom via held key combination shut the device down in 1.1. It now waits for the user to let go of the keys before resuming boot.
• Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience
• (∩ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)⊃━☆ﾟ

Note: The NTR firms are not currently usable without a means of flashing to a compatible flashcart. Wait for ntrboothax to be released!
