By popular demand :D

Bring back Homebrew Launcher (PicHaxx) as well,and rewrite for modern
environment.
Add a warning for broken DSiWare issues in USM troubleshooting page,
and link that troubleshooting step directly in USM page.

Move hardware button warning to right under the relevant section,
just as an extra peace of mind.

### Required Reading
In order to exploit the SAFE_MODE firmware of our system, we need to inject an exploited WiFi profile.
As we already have Homebrew access, we can use slotTool to do this.
Once the WiFi profile has been injected, we will use SAFE_MODE, which is a recovery feature present on all 3DS consoles, to activate the exploited WiFi profile.
### What You Need
* The latest release of [SafeB9SInstaller](https://github.com/d0k3/SafeB9SInstaller/releases/download/v0.0.7/SafeB9SInstaller-20170605-122940.zip) (direct download)
* The latest release of [boot9strap](https://github.com/SciresM/boot9strap/releases/download/1.4/boot9strap-1.4.zip) (direct download)
* The latest release of [unSAFE_MODE](https://github.com/zoogie/unSAFE_MODE/releases/latest)
* You may already have this from a prior section of the guide
#### Section I - Prep Work
1. Your console should be powered on and showing the Homebrew Launcher from the previous part of the guide
1. Launch slotTool from the list of homebrew

1. Select the "INSTALL exploit to wifi slots 1,2,3 & shutdown" option
+ You will see some on-screen text and then your system will shut down
1. Remove your SD card from your console and connect it to your computer
1. Create a folder named `boot9strap` on the root of your SD card
1. Copy `boot9strap.firm` and `boot9strap.firm.sha` from the boot9strap `.zip` to the `/boot9strap/` folder on your SD card
1. Copy `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` from the SafeB9SInstaller `.zip` to the root of your SD card
1. Copy `usm.bin` from the unSAFE_MODE `.zip` to the root of your SD card
1. Put your SD card back into your console
#### Section II - unSAFE_MODE
