<p>Your SD card is most likely acting weird. Try reformatting your SD card (<ahref="formatting-sd-(windows)">Windows</a>, <ahref="formatting-sd-(mac)">macOS</a>, <ahref="formatting-sd-(linux)">Linux</a>). If this doesn’t work, try another SD card.</p>
<p>This occurs when you use your SD card in multiple 3DS consoles and is intended to prevent inadvertently merging data that would not be valid on other consoles. 为了确定哪个文件夹是你 3DS 的，请按照以下步骤做：</p>
<p>网站已经确定无法获取到你的 <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">movable.sed</code>。 确保先前你输入到网站的 ID0 是正确的。 If your ID0 is correct, then you will be unable to use Seedminer and you will have to use an alternate method.</p>
<p>If you have a New 3DS / New 3DS XL / New 2DS XL (as indicated by the four shoulder buttons on the back and the C-Stick on the right), you can follow <ahref="homebrew-launcher-(super-skaterhax)">Homebrew Launcher (super-skaterhax)</a>. Otherwise, you will need to follow a method that requires additional games or hardware.</p>
<p>This can occur if you’ve used multiple SD cards on a 3DS and then merged the contents of the SD cards together. This is done to prevent conflicting, valid data from being merged together.</p>
<p>To fix this, you will need to determine which folder contains your data. Usually, this will be the larger (or largest) of the folders. Backup and delete the smaller one(s), then create a <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo DSiWare</code> folder in the one that remains and move <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">F00D43D5.bin</code> to that location.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary><u>DSiWare Management menu crashes without showing BB3 multihax menu</u></summary>
<p>If neither of these solutions fixes this problem, then custom firmware may have been uninstalled on this console in a way that makes this method impossible to perform. If this is the case, join <ahref="https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp">Nintendo Homebrew on Discord</a> and ask, in English, for help.</p>

<p>If your console is on system version 9.4.0, 9.5.0, or 9.6.0, you may be encountering a bug with an old version of universal-otherapp. Download the latest version from <ahref="https://github.com/TuxSH/universal-otherapp/releases/latest">here</a>.</p>
<p>You have the wrong Soundhax file for your console and region, or your console is incompatible with Soundhax. In the latter case, your course of action will determine on what version your 3DS is currently on. 如需帮助，请加入 <ahref="https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp">Nintendo Homebrew Discord 服务器</a>。</p>

<summary><u>Unable to open GodMode9 or Error #03: Missing files</u></summary>
<p>You did not copy everything from <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">finalize.zip</code> to the root of your SD card. Remember, your SD card should have at least these files:</p>
<p>You need at least 1.3GB of free space to perform the NAND backup, which is a part of the script. If you don’t have enough space, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Power off your console</li>
<li>Remove the SD card and insert it into your computer</li>
<li>Copy the <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS</code> folder from the root of your SD card to your computer</li>

<li>Delete the <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS</code> folder from your computer</li>
</ol>
<p>If you have enough space on your SD card, your SD might be corrupted or faulty. Check your SD card for any errors by following the guide according to your computer’s operating system: <ahref="h2testw-(windows)">Windows</a>, <ahref="f3-(linux)">Linux</a>, <ahref="f3xswift-(mac)">macOS</a>.</p>
<summary><u>Error #08: Dummy title database</u></summary>
<p>You didn’t delete the dummy title database that was created by Error #05. Follow the prompts <ahref="/images/screenshots/database-reset.jpg">here</a>, then re-run the script.</p>
<p>You are somehow running a version of GodMode9 not packaged with the script. Make sure you copied the contents of <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">finalize.zip</code> to the root of your SD card and that you are holding START while powering on your console.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary><u>Information #11: NAND backup flag detected</u></summary>
<p>You most likely already made a NAND backup on this console. If you did not make a backup or lost access to your backup, select “1. Make Another NAND Backup”. Otherwise, select “2. Skip NAND Backup”.</p>
<pclass="notice--info">The steps detailed here generally assume that your console has a modern custom firmware setup (boot9strap + Luma3DS 8.0 or greater). 如果你的主机还在用旧版的自制固件（例如基于 arm9loaderhax 或 menuhax 的东西），则你应该在继续操作前先升级自制固件。</p>
<p>这说明你放的 <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> 文件有问题。 如果你的主机正在使用 <ahref="https://github.com/SciresM/boot9strap/releases/tag/1.4">boot9strap 1.4</a> 版，那么你的主机在这种情况下开机后，通知灯就会亮起某种特定的颜色，然后关机。 具体亮起的颜色可用来判断你内存卡或主机内存中的 <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> 的问题。 On older versions of boot9strap, the blue light will power off almost immediately when trying to turn on the console.</p>
<p>If you hear a “popping sound”, potentially accompanied with the backlight turning on for a split second, there is a hardware issue with your console (such as a disconnected backlight cable). You may be able to get your console to boot by holding it at certain angles.</p>
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your console.</li>
<li>Power off your console, eject the game cartridge if inserted, power on your console, then wait up to ten minutes. If your console boots within ten minutes, the issue has been fixed and is unlikely to reoccur</li>
<li>将 SD 卡上的 <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS</code> 文件夹重命名为 <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS_BACKUP</code>，然后尝试启动主机。 If your console successfully boots, there is some issue within your <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Nintendo 3DS</code> folder. 尝试清理主菜单的外部存储文件：
<summary><u>"Unable to mount CTRNAND or load the CTRNAND FIRM. Please use an external one."</u></summary>
<p>There are a number of reasons as to why this could be happening. In any case, this error can usually be fixed by following the <ahref="ctrtransfer">CTRTransfer</a> guide.</p>
</details>
<details>
<summary><u>"An error has occurred. Hold down the POWER button to turn off the power..."</u></summary>
You can check if your SD is being read by holding SELECT on boot and checking the yellow text on the bottom screen; if it says “Booted from CTRNAND via B9S”, then your console is booting from the internal memory and not from the SD card.
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your console</li>
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC, download the latest release of <ahref="https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest">Luma3DS</a>, extract <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.firm</code> from the <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Luma3DS.zip</code> and place it on the root of your SD card (replacing any existing file)</li>
<li>Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC and reformat your SD card according to your computer’s operating system: <ahref="formatting-sd-(windows)">Windows</a>, <ahref="formatting-sd-(mac)">macOS</a>, <ahref="formatting-sd-(linux)">Linux</a><em>(this will wipe your SD card data)</em></li>
<li>Test your SD card for errors by following the guide according to your computer’s operating system: <ahref="h2testw-(windows)">Windows</a>, <ahref="f3-(linux)">Linux</a>, <ahref="f3xswift-(mac)">macOS</a>. If your SD card is marked as faulty, then you will have to replace your SD card</li>
<li>Your SD card slot may be broken. Join <ahref="https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp">Nintendo Homebrew on Discord</a> for further assistance</li>
<p>Your console is likely hard-bricked. You will need to buy an ntrboot flashcart to reinstall boot9strap in order to attempt to fix your console. 这也可能是无法修复的硬件问题。 无论如何，请先加入 <ahref="https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp">Nintendo Homebrew Discord 服务器</a> 并说英文求助。（请注意，如果你身处中国大陆，访问 Discord 可能需要科学上网），你也可以到译者的 <ahref="https://stray-soul.site/index.php/qqgroup">QQ 群</a>寻求帮助，群号为 942052497。</p>
<p>Your console is running Luma3DS 6.6 or older, likely via arm9loaderhax. You should follow <ahref="a9lh-to-b9s">A9LH to B9S</a> to update your console to a modern custom firmware environment.</p>
<summary><u>Exception screen when booting/loading an application</u></summary>
<p>Look for your exception screen in <ahref="https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/3DS:Error_screens/Luma3DS_exception_screen">this page</a>.
If you weren’t able to find your error or the instructions didn’t work, join <ahref="https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp">Nintendo Homebrew on Discord</a> for further assistance.</p>
<summary><u>Opening the HOME Menu settings crashes the console or loads the Homebrew Launcher</u></summary>
<p>Your console likely still has menuhax67 installed. To uninstall menuhax67, download the latest release of <ahref="https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67/releases/latest">menuhax67</a> (the menuhax <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code>), then follow the <ahref="https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/3DS:Alternate_Exploits/menuhax67#Uninstall_menuhax67">“Uninstall menuhax67” section</a> here.</p>
<p>If you are missing the Homebrew Launcher application from your HOME Menu, you can follow these instructions to manually enter the Homebrew Launcher. (You will need <ahref="https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest">boot.3dsx and boot.firm</a> on the root of your SD card.)</p>
<li>选择 “Switch the hb. title to the current app.”</li>
<li>按 “B” 键继续</li>
<li>按 “B” 键返回 Rosalina 主菜单</li>
<li>按 “B” 键退出 Rosalina 菜单</li>
<li>Press (Home) to suspend Download Play</li>
<li>Press the “Close” button on the bottom screen to close Download Play</li>
<li>Re-launch the Download Play application</li>
<li>Your console should load the Homebrew Launcher
<ul>
<li>If your console is stuck on the loading splash screen, you are missing <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">boot.3dsx</code> from the root of your SD card</li>
<summary><u>Turning off Parental Controls</u></summary>
<p>You can disable the Parental Controls feature by going to System Settings -> Parental Controls and inserting the PIN, then pressing “Clear Settings”, then “Delete” to remove it.
However, if you do not know the PIN and therefore cannot access the console’s settings, you will need to disable it. In order to do this, you need to obtain your console’s master key (mkey):</p>
