this is cool but can we get infinite boot slots with custmizable names and custom FastBoot 3DS SplashScreens?
In what reality are you going to have more than 6 boot options? Godmode9, Decrypt9, luma, ntrbootflasher, rei-six. and the nanquitas plugin loader luma fork.... that's just about everything if you are on a b9s install you can want to boot from...

Well in that case I think you could still keep the gm9 saltmode in firm 0 since it allows you to run more than 6 payloads when you are using cfw's like rei-six or cakes.Fastboot is mainly ment to be a bootmanager,but 6 slots are kind of limiting for me to use it over a bootctr9+ctrbootmanager combination as my primary boot.firm which allows me to have both boot animations,multiple cfw options and bin backwards compatibility.Now if this also allowed you to also run as many payloads as I wanted aswell as menu customization like with ctrbootmanager,I would definitely use this as my firm 0 instead of saltmode9.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Well lets see,in ctrbootmanager I have luma3ds,corbinik/skieth firm version,corbinik/skieth bin version,cakes,bootanim9(the bin version),a stealth patch,rei-six and I also have Fastboot set up aswell for testing purposes,so yeah....I run more than just 6 cfws and if I want to run my payloads ill just use the saltmode9 chainloader/bootloader which lets me run as many payloads as I want on any cfw without a built in chainloader.

FB3DS doesn't even support Brahma-style binaries so it doesn't make sense to include them on the list, plus booting FB3DS from itself would be redundant.
So you'd only really need luma, corbenik, skeith, cakes, that stealth thing (I assume it's a FIRM, whatever it is) and Rei-six.
I'd say it fits right in, and your case is pretty extreme.
In any case, I think the bootslots were limited to six in order to keep the configuration file down, there's no technical limitation on the number of boot slots.

No, this is trying to be one-glove-fits-all solution, and it's still in development. Initially the bootslots were meant to be fitted somewhere other than SD, where storage isn't exactly spare. 3 slots was considered pretty limiting so it was increased to 6.
Besides, are there even more than 6 homebrew programs designed to run from a FIRM entrypoint? In any case, feel free to make it changeable at compile time and make a PR to the main repo. If it's suitable, I'm sure it'll be taken.

Hmm,well now that I think about it I don't run more than 6 payloads on my chainloaders but i do run more than 6 cfws as i already sead so I guess if you put it that way you got a point.However I still think casual users who want to run both luma and re-six without learning how to setup ctrbootmanager can also benefit from this too,at least from the way I see it.

None,really.You set this up as a boot.firm,install it into your firm 0 and you can bootload and chainload without ctrbootmanager.You are going to have to install normall b9s first though if you are setting up cfw for the first time,then you can overwrite stock b9s with this.Think of this as b9s but with slight modifications.

- No bootrom dumping.
- More code/data, so if you have a flashcart with a really small flash chip (iirc there's some with only 32KiB usable) you might have to use B9S instead for ntrboot.
That's pretty much all of the objective disadvantages.

I installed it directly, no b9s. I used ntrboot, I put the OpenFirmInstaller as boot.firm on SD, booted, and installed fastboot3ds directly.
Do note that fastboot3ds lets you actually browse for any .firm on sd or ctrnand and boot it without using the slots.
you could also put your cfw .firm on the slots, and use the luma chainloader for payloads like godmode9 (the only one you need, really)
or just press home and browse to it, it's simple enough.

Yes, only replace the SafeB9SInstaller with OpenFirmInstaller and use FB3DS Payload with it.
But if you are using b9stool (DSiWarehax) I think it won't work.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
-
@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
