<p><a href="https://github.com/zoogie/MSET9">MSET9</a> is an exploit for the System Settings application developed by <a href="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>

<h3 id="compatibility-notes">Compatibility Notes</h3>
<p class="notice--warning">This method requires a computer running Windows or Linux. macOS is NOT supported, nor are phones or tablets. If you do not have access to Windows or Linux, you will need to use an <a href="alternate-exploits">alternate exploit</a>.</p>
<h3 id="what-you-need">What You Need</h3>
<ul>
<li>The latest prerelease of <a href="https://github.com/zoogie/MSET9/releases">MSET9</a> (the Release <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> file)</li>
<li>Any 3.x version of <a href="https://www.python.org/downloads/">Python</a> <strong>installed on your computer</strong>
<ul>
<li>If you are on Linux, you likely already have Python 3. Check by opening a terminal and entering <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">python3 -V</code>. If this returns a version number, it will work for this guide.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="instructions">Instructions</h3>
<h4 id="section-i---prep-work">Section I - Prep Work</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 <a href="/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>Power off your console</li>
<li>Insert your SD card into your computer</li>
<li>
<p>Copy everything from the Release <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">.zip</code> to the root of your SD card, overwriting any existing files</p>
<p class="notice--info"><img src="/images/screenshots/mset9/mset9-root-layout.png" alt="MSET9 root layout" /></p>
</li>
<li>Execute the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">mset9.py</code> script on the root of your SD card
<ul>
<li><strong>Windows</strong>: Double-click <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">mset9.bat</code>
<ul>
<li>If this doesnt work: hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the SD card window, then click the option that opens Terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt, then type <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">py -3 mset9.py</code> and press Enter</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Linux</strong>: open a Terminal window, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">cd</code> to the root of your SD card, then type <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">python3 mset9.py</code> and press Enter</li>
<li>You should see a window that says “MSET9 … SETUP by zoogie”</li>
<li>You should keep this window open until the end of this page, but if you close it by accident, you can open it again by redoing this step</li>
</ul>
<p class="notice--info"><img src="/images/screenshots/mset9/mset9-select.png" alt="Image: MSET9 setup" /></p>
</li>
<li>Type the number corresponding to your console model and version, then press Enter
<ul>
<li>The window should change to this:</li>
</ul>
<p class="notice--info"><img src="/images/screenshots/mset9/mset9-setup.png" alt="Image: MSET9 setup" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Ensure that the correct console model and version is displayed</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Type <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">1</code>, then press Enter to setup MSET9
<ul>
<li>If you see “(title.db/import.db) does not exist on SD card!”:
<ul>
<li>Type “yes”, then press Enter</li>
<li>Close the MSET9 window</li>
<li>Safely eject your SD from your computer</li>
<li>Insert your SD card into your console</li>
<li>Power on your console</li>
<li>Navigate to System Settings -&gt; Data Management -&gt; Nintendo 3DS -&gt; Software -&gt; Reset (<a href="/images/screenshots/database-reset.jpg">visual instructions</a>)</li>
<li>Power off your console</li>
<li>Insert your SD card into your computer</li>
<li>Go back to Step 7 (“Execute the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">mset9.py</code> script”)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Once the window says “Setting up… done”, safely eject your SD card from your computer
<ul>
<li>Keep the MSET9 window open</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Reinsert your SD card into your console</li>
<li>Power on your console</li>
</ol>
<h4 id="section-ii---mset9">Section II - MSET9</h4>
<p>In this section, you will trigger MSET9 to launch SafeB9SInstaller (the custom firmware installer).</p>
