About GodMode9

Copy, delete and rename files, make folders and get into the FAT partitions inside SysNAND and EmuNAND. There's a hex viewer with an edit mode too. Anything risky sits behind write permission levels, and each level needs an unlock sequence first. The author's advice: stay on yellow or below, never unlock red unless you know exactly what you're doing, and keep backups.

The author recommends fastboot3DS as the bootloader, since some people hit problems with the usual boot9strap and Luma3DS setup. Copy the gm9 folder from the zip to the SD card. On the first run, set the RTC clock from the More menu under HOME.

- A: confirm, open a folder or a file's menu (R+A on a folder for its menu and title search)
- B: cancel, hold it to stop a file operation
- X: delete, R+X renames
- Y: copy and paste, R+Y makes a folder
- L: mark files
- R+L: screenshot
- R+Left / R+Right: switch panes
- Start: reboot (R+Start powers off)
- HOME or Power: the HOME menu, with scripts, payloads, SD formatting and the clock

Release notes

v2.2.3 · GodMode9 v2.2.3 Tenth Anniversary Hotfix · Mar 31, 2026

_You didn’t expect another release this soon, did you?_ Well, these things happen — the previous release v2.2.2 broke translations.

Here's what's fixed in v2.2.3:

  • [fixed] Translations work again (thanks @Epicpkmn11)

How to update GodMode9
Updating is simple: replace GodMode9.firm on your SD card with the file from the release ZIP. If you want scripts and translations as well, copy the entire ./gm9 folder from the archive to the same location on your SD card. If you skip that step, don’t complain about translations not working.

Special thanks
I’ll keep it short: special thanks to @MisterSheeple and the fine folks over at the GodMode9 Discord for the quick report, to @Epicpkmn11 for the fast fix, and to everyone who has supported the project over the years.
