== Boot ROM ==
Upon boot, parts of the ARM9 and ARM11 boot ROMs are protected by writing to [[CONFIG#CFG_SYSPROT9|CFG_SYSPROT9]] and [[CONFIG#CFG_SYSPROT11|CFG_SYSPROT11]], respectively. The non-protected areas of the ARM9 and ARM11 boot ROMs are identical for launch-day regular Old3DS, 2DS, and regular New3DS.

== NAND FIRM boot ==
Boot9 is not hard-coded to only handle 2 FIRM partitions: it parses all 8 NCSD partitions for this. Boot9 will attempt to use every partition listed in the NCSD which is an actual FIRM partition, in the same order listed in the NCSD, until booting one of them succeeds. Among the not-yet-processed partitions, the FIRM which has the highest value at u32 firmhdr+4 will have a FIRM-boot attempted first. Since that value is normally 0x0, the order of FIRM-partition processing is normally identical to the order of the NCSD partitions.
