This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to create a custom DSiWare backup that exploits the system to dump system DSiWare. This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to take advantage of exploits in the SAFE_MODE firmware present in all 3DS units.

## Installing boot9strap (USM)
### DSiWare Management menu crashes without showing USM menu
Ensure that `F00D43D5.bin` is the only file in `Nintendo 3DS` -> `<ID0>` `<ID1>` -> `Nintendo DSiWare`. If it is, then re-create it with the [unSAFE_MODE Exploit Injector](https://3ds.nhnarwhal.com/3dstools/unsafemode.php). If this fails, then custom firmware may have been uninstalled on this device in a way that makes this method impossible to perform. If this is the case, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) for assistance.
