This flashcart has two modes. A DS mode and a “3DS” mode. DS mode will boot into the regular Ace3DS+ kernel. The 3DS mode is slightly different; It doesn’t play 3DS games as the name might imply. It is simply an ntrboot mode that can be used to hack your 3DS or to recover from bricks. You can read more about it at 3ds.hacks.guide.

When the switch is in the top position, it is in ntrboot mode. It is normal for the flashcart to not appear on the homescreen. When the switch is in the bottom position, it is in DS mode. You should see SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis as the icon.

Keep in mind that this flashcart will not work in either mode without a microSD card inserted.

This flashcart will use ACE Wood 1.62, not to be confused with R4 Wood 1.62. ACE Wood 1.62 is based on an old version of R4 Wood from when it was open source, and adds some patches on top of it to support more modern games. However, it is missing some anti-piracy patches for newer games (notably Pokemon Black/White 2).
