<h3 id="required-reading">Required Reading</h3>

<p>This page is for existing arm9loaderhax users to update their consoles to boot9strap.</p>

<p>All future releases of Luma3DS will only be made in the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.firm</code> format, which will only be compatible with boot9strap and sighax. This means that to continue receiving the latest updates of Luma3DS, you should use this page to update your installation.</p>

<p>To extract the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.7z</code> files linked on this page, you will need a file archiver like <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-Zip</a> or <a href="https://theunarchiver.com/">The Unarchiver</a>.</p>

<p class="notice--warning">While we believe that custom firmware is safe for online use, there have been online network bans in the past, primarily for cheating and suspicious eShop behavior.</p>

<h3 id="what-you-need">What You Need</h3>

<p class="notice--warning">To use the <a href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme">magnet</a> links on this page, you will need a torrent client like <a href="https://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php">qBittorrent</a> or <a href="http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download">Deluge</a>.</p>

<p class="notice--info">Note that, only on New 3DS, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">secret_sector.bin</code> is needed to revert the arm9loaderhax exploit, which is why it is not needed for the installation of boot9strap on a stock console. If you do not have a New 3DS, you do not need <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">secret_sector.bin</code>.</p>
