Section II - Launching SafeB9SInstaller
In this section, you will launch Soundhax through the Nintendo 3DS Sound app, which will use universal-otherapp to launch the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer.

Launch Nintendo 3DS Sound

-
If you've never opened Nintendo 3DS Sound before and get tips on how to use it from a bird icon, go through all of the bird tips, then close the app normally and relaunch it
- In this situation, launching Soundhax immediately would cause these tips to appear on every launch of the Nintendo 3DS Sound until this is done
-
Go to
/SDCARD
, then play "<3 nedwill 2016"- This may take many (up to 10) tries
- If you see the message "Could not play", you are either on a system version incompatible with Soundhax or downloaded the wrong Soundhax release
- If it freezes, force the console to power off by holding the power button, then try again
- If you get a different error, follow this troubleshooting guide
