Hourglass9 is a noob friendly, safe, arm9loaderhax/sighax only NAND dumper & restorer for the 3DS console. All the functionality found within it is in [[Decrypt9WIP 3DS|Decrypt9]], too, and possibly was in Decrypt9 for ages. What new it brings to the table is simplicity and (even more) safety.
[https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki Arm9loaderhax] is a prequisite for this, and with it, it is impossible to brick your console with Hourglass9.
'''Note:''' While the stuff written above should be enough for the average user, advanced users will still need to use Decrypt9 for more specific modifications of their console OS. Also keep in mind that you alone or responsible for keeping your backups safe and not losing them.
==Features==
* Dump your SysNAND/EmuNAND - Make backup copies you can later return to.
* Restore your SysNAND/EmuNAND - This will never overwrite your existing arm9loaderhax installation.
* Validate existing NAND dumps - Make sure they are ready to restore.
* Dump & Inject the Health and Safety app - Setup a CIA installer in your system. [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-inject-any-app-into-health-safety-o3ds-n3ds-cfw-only.402236 More info].
* Dump retail game cartridges to .3DS/.CIA/.NDS.
* A nice dragon logo on the bottom screen.
==Controls==
Down/Up - Navigate menus, Scroll output, Select between options
A - Enter submenu, Confirm action
B - Leave submenu, Cancel
X - Make a screenshot (works in menu and on console output, after a feature finishes)
X+Left/Right - Batch screenshot all submenus/entries (only on menu)
Select - Unmount SD card (only on menu)

== What is this good for? ==
* Compatibility with boot9strap v1.1/v1.2.
Hourglass9 is nothing new - all the functionality found within it is in Decrypt9, too, and possibly was in Decrypt9 for ages. What new it brings to the table is simplicity and (even more) safety. [https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki Arm9loaderhax] is a prequisite for this, and with it, '''it is impossible to brick your console with Hourglass9'''. So, the rather short list of features:
* Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.
* '''Dump your SysNAND / EmuNAND''' - to make backup copies you can later return to.
 
* '''Restore your SysNAND / EmuNAND''' - to return to an earlier state. ''This will never overwrite your existing arm9loaderhax installation''.
'''v1.5.0 2017/05/20'''
* '''Validate existing NAND dumps''' - to make sure they are ready to restore.
* FIRM entrypoint included.
* '''Dump &amp; Inject the Health and Safety app''' - to setup a CIA installer in your system. More info [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-inject-any-app-into-health-safety-o3ds-n3ds-cfw-only.402236/ here].
* DSi enhanced cart dumping improved.
* Dump retail game cartridges to .3DS / .CIA / .NDS.
* '''A nice dragon logo on the bottom screen''' - you wouldn't have expected this, right? While the stuff written above should be enough for the average user, advanced users will still need to use Decrypt9 for more specific modifications of their console OS. Also keep in mind that '''you alone or responsible for keeping your backups safe and not losing them'''.
== Hourglass9 controls ==
The most important controls are displayed on screen, here is a list of all:
* '''DOWN'''/'''UP''' - Navigate menus, scroll output, select between options.
* '''A''' - Enter submenu or confirm action.
* '''B''' - Depending on location, leave submenu or cancel.
* '''X''' - Make a screenshot. Works in menu and on console output, after a feature finishes.
* '''X + LEFT/RIGHT''' - Batch screenshot all submenus / entries (only on menu)
* '''SELECT''' - Unmount SD card (only on menu).
* '''HOME''' - Reboot the console.
* '''POWER''' - Poweroff the console.
* '''START (+ LEFT)''' - Reboot (START only) / Poweroff (with LEFT). Most features require the user to choose a file or a directory. In these cases, use the arrow keys to select and A / B to confirm and cancel. Also, most file write operations (NAND writes excluded) can be cancelled by holding B.

Hourglass9 is a noob friendly, safe, arm9loaderhax/sighax only NAND dumper & restorer for the 3DS console. All the functionality found within it is in Decrypt9, too, and possibly was in Decrypt9 for ages. What new it brings to the table is simplicity and (even more) safety.

Arm9loaderhax is a prequisite for this, and with it, it is impossible to brick your console with Hourglass9.

Note: While the stuff written above should be enough for the average user, advanced users will still need to use Decrypt9 for more specific modifications of their console OS. Also keep in mind that you alone or responsible for keeping your backups safe and not losing them.

  • Restore your SysNAND/EmuNAND - This will never overwrite your existing arm9loaderhax installation.
  • Validate existing NAND dumps - Make sure they are ready to restore.
  • Dump & Inject the Health and Safety app - Setup a CIA installer in your system. More info.
  • Dump retail game cartridges to .3DS/.CIA/.NDS.
  • A nice dragon logo on the bottom screen.
