Other 3DS custom Firmwares
I'm wondering are there any other Custom Firmwares for the 3DS besides Luma3DS? The reason I'm wondering is because Luma3DS is a Firmware targeted primarily towards "noobs" and I'm looking for one that is for advanced users. I know that when it comes to boot loaders there are solutions for advanced users (Fastboot3DS) and was wondering if there's anything similar in terms of CFW.

Should I update Nintendo Switch before starting RCM process?
I have a v1 unpatched Switch. I'd like to start the process of installing custom firmware. I read this note about being careful to make sure Atmosphere and Hekate support the latest firmware before updating, which they both seem to. But there's also something about gamecard firmware?

Make sure you have most update files from the main repo GitHub. https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases. Follow the update instructions

Modded Lite Won't boot hekate.
I've installed modchip on Lite. It shows the "no sd card" logo. I've tried both hekate official gitthub and HATS packages loaded into an SD card, but it gives a black screen. It returns to no sd card when I press the power button for 10 seconds after removing the sd card.
