About 3ds-hbmenu

Lists the .3dsx files in sdmc:/3ds/ and starts them. A folder holding a .3dsx with the same name, or a boot.3dsx, shows up as a single icon. It needs an entrypoint, and Luma3DS Rosalina is the recommended one. It lives as boot.3dsx in the root of the SD card, and recent Luma3DS releases already include it.

- D-Pad, Circle Pad or touch: pick an app
- A, or tap it again: start it
- C-Stick (New 3DS): scroll the list
- Select: star an app so it stays at the top
- Y: netloader, for sending a .3dsx from a PC with 3dslink

Shortcuts are small XML files that point to a .3dsx, with optional arguments, icon, name, description and author. CIA files aren't homebrew executables and won't load from here. Don't swap the SD card while it's running. Use something like ftpd to move files instead.
