### Required Reading

To install boot9strap on your 11.9.0 device, we exploit an oversight in the security restrictions applied to "DSiWare" applications.

To accomplish this, we use a tool called Seedminer to calculate the DSiWare encryption key (`movable.sed`) for your device.

We then use this DSiWare encryption key to decrypt a compatible DSiWare application and inject an exploit into it to run our own code.

If this key were completely random, the encryption key would be impossible to break on current computing hardware. Fortunately, the first half of the key (`movable_part1.sed`) is actually mathematically related to your device's Friend Code, allowing us to break the encryption. For information on how Seedminer works, please see [this presentation](https://zoogie.github.io/web/34⅕c3).

Note that this tool requires a PC with a powerful graphics card to break your device's DSiWare encryption. If you do not have access to one of these, there also exists several online helper services where a volunteer running automated software will do this for you.

To use the [magnet](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme) links on this page, you will need a torrent client like [Deluge](http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download).

To extract the `.7z` files linked on this page, you will need a file archiver like [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/) or [The Unarchiver](https://theunarchiver.com/).

This process will overwrite your DSiWare game's save file!

1. Find your Mii profile, then find the "Friend Code" field on the top screen

#### Section II - Seedminer

JPN ほぼ日の健康手帳™ users should follow [these instructions](http://steelminer.jisagi.net/) instead of this section. Once those instructions have been completed, resume this guide at "Section III - DSiWare Injection".
{: .notice--info}

1. Open [Bruteforce Movable](https://bruteforcemovable.com/) on your computer
  + This site can automate the retrieval of `movable_part1.sed` (using a bot 3DS console) and the breaking of your device's DSiWare encryption (using a volunteer's computer to run Seedminer)
  + If you already have access to a 3DS capable of launching the Homebrew Launcher, you can manually retrieve your `movable_part1.sed` using that device by following [these](https://jisagi.github.io/SeedminerGuide/seedminerSelf/#section1) instructions
  + If you already have access to a PC with a powerful graphics card, you can manually calculate your `movable.sed` using it by following [these](https://jisagi.github.io/SeedminerGuide/seedminerSelf/#section2) instructions
  + If the automated service is nonfunctional and you cannot do one or both of those manually, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask (in English) for someone there to assist you
1. Enter your device's Friend Code (with no spaces or dashes) into the "Your friend code" field
1. Paste your device's 32 character long folder name into the "Your ID0" field
1. Complete the "I'm not a robot" captcha
1. Select "Go"
1. When prompted, use the "Register Friend" button on your device to add the friend code of the bot 3DS console
1. Wait for the site to update
  + If it does not, refresh the page
1. Select "Continue"
1. Wait for the process to complete
  + This can take a while (up to an hour in some cases)
  + If you are still waiting after an hour, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask (in English) for someone there to assist you
1. When the process has completed, download your `movable.sed` file from the site

#### Section III - DSiWare Injection

1. Open [TADpole Online](https://jisagi.github.io/TADpole-Online/) on your computer
  + If this site is nonfunctional, try [Project DSIHaxInjector](https://jenkins.nelthorya.net/job/DSIHaxInjector/build)
1. Extract the contents of the DSiWare exploit injection `.zip` to a folder on your computer
1. Select your `<8-character-id>.bin` for the "DSiWare.bin" field
1. Select your `movable.sed` file for the "movable.sed" field
1. Select the downloaded `ctcert.bin` file for the "ctcert.bin" field
1. Select the extracted `game_<your-region>.app` file for the "game_XXX.app" field
  + JPN ほぼ日の健康手帳™ users should be using the files from `USA.zip` instead of `JPN.zip`
1. Select the extracted `public_<your-region>.sav` file for the "public_XXX.sav" field
1. Select "Start!"
1. Wait for the process to complete
1. Rename the created `<8-character-id>.bin.patched` file to `<8-character-id>.bin`
  + Do not confuse this file with the `<8-character-id>.bin` file from earlier
1. Power off your device
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
1. Navigate to `Nintendo 3DS` -> `<ID0>` -> `<32-character-id>` -> `Nintendo DSiWare` on your SD card
1. Copy the new `<8-character-id>.bin` file to the `Nintendo DSiWare` folder on your SD card
  + Overwrite the old `<8-character-id>.bin` file when prompted
1. Reinsert your SD card into your device
1. Power on your device
1. Launch System Settings on your device
1. Navigate to `Data Management` -> `DSiWare`
1. Under the "SD Card" (or "microSD Card") section, select your compatible DSiWare game
1. Select "Copy", then select "OK"
  + This may have caused your game to appear as "Sudoku" or "4Swords" depending on region; this is normal
  + JPN ほぼ日の健康手帳™ users will be missing ほぼ日の健康手帳™ on the home menu; this is normal
1. Exit System Settings

#### Section IV - Flashing FIRM

1. Launch b9sTool by starting your DSiWare game on your device
  + If prompted, you may have to tap the screen to trigger the exploit
  + JPN ほぼ日の健康手帳™ users should instead run Steeldiver to launch the Homebrew Launcher, then run squirrelboot to launch the patched version of ほぼ日の健康手帳™
1. Select "Install boot9strap" and confirm
1. Exit b9sTool, then power off your device
  + You may have to force power off by holding the power button

#### Section V - Configuring Luma3DS

1. Boot your device while holding (Select) to launch the Luma configuration menu
  + If you encounter issues launching the Luma configuration menu, [follow this troubleshooting guide](https://github.com/zoogie/b9sTool/blob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md)
1. Use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:
  + **"Show NAND or user string in System Settings"**
1. Press (Start) to save and reboot
  + If you get a black screen, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#black-screen-on-sysnand-boot-after-installing-boot9strap)
