The 3DS' Boot procedure:

  • 0 Seconds - unit is powered on bootloader begins
  • 3 Seconds - all essential hardware is active - checks all connected devices and will boot the slot 1 device if it is an auto-boot card(like kiosk demos etc). The home menu has not initialized at this point as auto-booted games by-pass certain Home Menu security measures, like parental control and forced updates. Also auto-booted games are not logged as being run from the Home Menu. Begins to initialize Home Menu if an auto-boot slot1 device is not found.
  • 4 Seconds - the LCD screens are initialized
  • 7 Seconds - Home Menu is fully initialized/loaded
