- Notes:
  - Trimmed and ripped ROMs are both working on the Gateway flashcard (tested with launcher v1.1)
  - Since every tool got its own way to trim ROMs, we advise you to only un-trim the 3DS ROMs that you trimmed with CTR.
  - If you RIP updates, remember that the update partition will be deleted permanently and can't be restored.

But don't blindly trust this information, since the ROMs are still not decrypted it will just be an estimation.
NDS+ and 3DS+ Beta tabs are now hidden by default. Start the app with "-beta" argument to display them.
- ex: CTR.exe nds_game.nds.
  - CTR.exe -beta 3ds_game.3ds.
