boot9.bin is not in VRAM if fastboot3DS is used

fastboot3DS is a bootloader for the 3DS recommended by GodMode9. In a vanilla installation of fastboot3DS, boot9.bin is not in VRAM. The script will fail every time when trying to copy boot9.bin.

In a normal installation of fastboot3DS (at least on my 3DS), boot9.bin should already be in /gm9/out.

Workarounds

My hotfix was to comment the line that performs the boot9 copy operation and manually copy over boot9.bin. I personally recommend:

  • Modifying the GM9 script to check if boot9.bin is in /gm9/out second (fastboot3DS is optional) and copy when found.
  • Changing the wiki to notify the user to either change fastboot3DS settings (untested and lacks documentation) or to chainload GM9 through Luma3DS instead of fastboot3DS.

Fixed by adding a second check to copy from 0:/3DS/boot9.bin. This is what you get by Miscellaneous... > Dump bootroms & OTP in the fastboot3ds menu (hold HOME while booting). An error message is shown when the file is not found in both places.
