Things that happen in this shameless squash: - Removed 404 page - It doesn't work in VitePress and making it work in VitePress needs some invasive hack in the theme that I'm not willing to do - The default is more than enough, though - Moved consoleVersionSelect include to another directory - This avoids being uploaded to Crowdin for translation - Inline all SafeB9SInstaller includes - Not only do parameterized includes not work, but if/else statements don't work at all - The sysupdate include parameter hasn't been used since MSET9, so it actually works just fine without any parameters. Hooray(?) - Move mset9-chorus to an include, that logic doesn't work in VitePress - Removed Get Started button from homepage, it breaks translations - Tables in get-started are now shown by default; it seems VitePress really does not want us to use inline script. So we cannot enable it upon realizing that the browser is JS capable - Include parameters are now in frontmatter to allow translation - Hacked in a bunch of CSS values kanged from the old theme to make it look not stupid - Drop headers down one level to make table of contents work

## What is custom firmware?
|
|
|
|
**Custom firmware** ("CFW") is a full software modification to your 3DS, comparable to "administrator access" on a computer. It allows you to do anything that the 3DS is physically capable of doing, rather than being limited by whatever Nintendo allows you to do.
|
|
|
|
Popular uses for custom firmware include:
|
|
|
|
* Running homebrew software and games made for or ported to the Nintendo 3DS
|
|
* Bypassing the region lock, allowing you to play games from other regions
|
|
* HOME Menu customization, using community-created [themes and badges](https://themeplaza.art)
|
|
* Modification of games ("ROM hacks") through [LayeredFS](https://github.com/knight-ryu12/godmode9-layeredfs-usage/wiki/Using-Luma3DS'-layeredfs-(Only-version-8.0-and-higher))
|
|
* Save data editing, backup, and restore
|
|
* Emulation of older consoles, as well as native playback of DS and GBA games
|
|
* Installing your physical cartridges for digital use
|
|

## What does this guide install?
|
|
|
|
This guide will:
|
|
+ Install **boot9strap** and **Luma3DS custom firmware** on unmodified retail 3DS/2DS consoles
|
|
+ Luma3DS will automatically remove the region lock and allow you to run unsigned software
|
|
+ Install various pieces of homebrew software, such as a package installer, save file manager, and a homebrew app store
|
|
+ Make critical system file backups that can help avoid bricks (and recover data in the event of one)
