+No. While a DS flashcart can be used to mod a 3DS using [ntrboot](ntrboot), there is now a free software method available for most consoles.
 
 3DS-mode flashcarts like Gateway and Sky3DS are not recommended because they are obsolete and may carry ban or brick risk.

+<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>
+[MSET9](https://github.com/zoogie/MSET9) is an exploit for the System Settings application developed by [zoogie](https://github.com/zoogie). 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 *any* name as long as it is 32 characters. Performing a specific sequence of actions results in the 3DS executing the instructions are encoded into the ID1 folder name, which can be used to grant full control over the 3DS.

+
+### Compatibility Notes
+
+This method currently only works on Old3DS-family consoles (3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS) on firmwares between (and including) 11.8.0 and 11.17.0.
+{: .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 [alternate exploit](alternate-exploits).
+{: .notice--warning}
+
+### What You Need
+
+* The latest prerelease of [MSET9](https://github.com/zoogie/MSET9/releases) (the Release `.zip` file)
+* Any 3.x version of [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
+    + If you are on Linux, you likely already have Python 3. Check by opening a terminal and entering `python3 -V`. If this returns a version number, it will work for this guide.
+
+### Instructions
+
+#### Section I - Prep Work
+
+1. Power on your console **with your SD card inserted**
+1. Open Mii Maker
+1. Wait for your console to reach the "Welcome to Mii Maker" screen, then exit Mii Maker
+    + You may see [this screen](/images/screenshots/mset9/mii-extdata.png), which indicates the necessary data has been created
+    + If you just reach the normal Mii Maker screen, exit Mii Maker and continue to the next step
+1. Power off your console
+1. Insert your SD card into your computer
+1. Copy everything inside the `SDMC` folder from the Release `.zip` to the root of your SD card, overwriting any existing files
+
+    ![MSET9 root layout](/images/screenshots/mset9/mset9-root-layout.png)
+    {: .notice--info}
+
+1. Execute the `mset9.py` script on the root of your SD card
+    + **Windows**: Double-click `mset9.bat`
+        + If this doesn't 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 `py -3 mset9.py` and press Enter
+    + **Linux**: open a Terminal window, `cd` to the root of your SD card, then type `python3 mset9.py` and press Enter
+    + You should see a window that says "MSET9 ... SETUP by zoogie"
+    + 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
+
+    ![Image: MSET9 setup](/images/screenshots/mset9/mset9-setup.png)
+    {: .notice--info}
+

+    + If you see "(title.db/import.db) does not exist on SD card!"  and "Create them now? (type yes/no)", follow the [troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#installing-boot9strap-mset9)
+1. Once the window says "Setting up... done", safely eject your SD card from your computer
+    + Keep the MSET9 window open
+1. Reinsert your SD card into your console
+1. Power on your console
+
+#### Section II - MSET9
+
+These instructions must be followed **EXACTLY**, so double-check EVERYTHING you are doing to avoid errors!

+1. Press (A) to launch System Settings
+1. Navigate to `Data Management` -> `Nintendo 3DS` -> `Extra Data` ([image](/images/screenshots/mset9/settings-extdata.png))
+1. **Do not press any buttons or touch the screen** - ensure that you see the Mii Maker icon
+1. **With the console STILL ON, and without pressing any buttons or touching the screen**, remove your SD card from your console
+    + The menu will refresh and say that no SD card is inserted, which is expected
+1. Insert your SD card into your computer
+1. In the MSET9 window, type `2`, then press Enter to trigger MSET9
+    + You should see "Injecting... done."
+1. Safely eject your SD card from your computer
+    + Keep the MSET9 window open
+1. Reinsert your SD card into your console **without pressing any buttons or touching the screen**
+1. If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller
