<p><ahref="https://github.com/zoogie/MSET9">MSET9</a> is an exploit for the System Settings application developed by <ahref="https://github.com/zoogie">zoogie</a>. It exploits a flaw where the ID1 (the second 32-character folder name inside of the Nintendo 3DS folder, inside of the ID0) can be <em>any</em> name as long as it is 32 characters. Performing a specific sequence of actions results in the console executing the instructions that are encoded into the ID1 folder name, which can be used to grant full control over the 3DS.</p>

<pclass="notice--info">On this page, you will use the MSET9 script, which is used to trigger MSET9. If you get a numbered error (e.g. Error 01) when running the script, the solution to that error can most likely be found on the <ahref="troubleshooting#installing-boot9strap-mset9">troubleshooting</a> page.</p>
<h4id="第一步--准备工作">第一步 – 准备工作</h4>
<p>In this section, you will prepare the SD card data necessary for the MSET9 exploit to trigger.</p>
<ol>
<li>Power on your console <strong>with your SD card inserted</strong></li>
<li>Open Mii Maker</li>
<li>Wait for your console to reach the “Welcome to Mii Maker” screen, then exit Mii Maker
<ul>
<li>You may see <ahref="/images/screenshots/mset9/mii-extdata.png">this screen</a>, which indicates the necessary data has been created</li>
<li>If you just reach the normal Mii Maker screen, exit Mii Maker and continue to the next step</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>将主机关机</li>
<li>将你的 SD 卡插入到电脑</li>

<li>If you see the message “Everything appears to be functional!”, MSET9 is ready to be injected. Press Enter to close the MSET9 script</li>
<li>Reinsert your SD card into your console</li>
<li>Power on your console</li>
</ol>
<h4id="section-ii---mset9">Section II - MSET9</h4>
<p>In this section, you will trigger MSET9 to launch SafeB9SInstaller (the custom firmware installer).</p>
<pclass="notice--danger">These instructions must be followed <strong>EXACTLY</strong>, so double-check EVERYTHING you are doing to avoid errors!</p>

<h4id="section-iv---removing-mset9">Section IV - Removing MSET9</h4>
<p>In this section, you will remove MSET9 to prevent further issues. (This will not remove the custom firmware that you just installed.)</p>
<pclass="notice--danger">Do NOT skip this section! If you skip it, applications may crash unexpectedly and you will encounter errors on the next page!</p>
<li><strong>macOS</strong>: Double-click <codeclass="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">mset9.command</code> and enter your password if prompted</li>
