Installing boot9strap (MSET9 CLI)

:::details Technical Details (optional)

MSET9 is an exploit for the System Settings application developed by zoogie. It exploits a flaw where the ID1 (the second 32-character folder name inside of the Nintendo 3DS folder, inside of the ID0) can be any name as long as it is 32 characters. Performing a specific sequence of actions results in the console executing the instructions that are encoded into the ID1 folder name, which can be used to grant full control over the 3DS.

Compatibility Notes

::: warning

This page requires a computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS. If you have an Android phone/tablet or a Chromebook, follow Installing boot9strap (MSET9 Play Store) instead. If you do not have access to any of these devices, you will need to use an alternate exploit.

:::

What You Need

• The latest release of MSET9
• Any 3.x version of Python installed on your computer
  • If you are on Linux or macOS, you may already have Python 3. Check by opening a Terminal window and entering python3 -V. If this returns a version number, it will work for this guide.

Instructions

::: info

On this page, you will use the MSET9 script, which is used to trigger MSET9. While the script is in progress, user data will temporarily disappear but will return upon the completion of this page. If you get an error when running the script, the solution to that error can most likely be found on the troubleshooting page.

Section I - Prep Work

In this section, you will prepare the MSET9 exploit by temporarily creating a new HOME Menu profile with no user data, and then setting up that profile with only the minimum data required for MSET9 to trigger. Your existing user data will disappear, but will come back when you are finished with this page.

1. תכניסו את ה-SD שלכם למחשב

2. Copy everything from the MSET9 .zip to the root of your SD card, overwriting any existing files
