+ The version table below is *inclusive*. For example, "from 11.4.0 to 11.14.0" includes 11.4.0, 11.14.0, and all versions in between.
+ Software versions do not work the same as decimals. Versions 11.10.0 and above are newer than 11.3.0, and are therefore not compatible with Soundhax.

This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to write a custom save file for Pokémon Picross, which can then be used with universal-otherapp to run SafeB9SInstaller.
This process will overwrite your Pokémon Picross save file, if you have one. If you wish to preserve your Pokémon Picross game data, you should make a backup of your `00000001.sav` file before overwriting it.

This is an add-on section for region changing your CFW SysNAND. This is done by installing the 11.15.0 CTRTransfer image for the region you want to switch to.
Note that region changing is almost completely unnecessary since Luma3DS supports out-of-region games and individual title [Locale Emulation](https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features). Additionally, running NDS games with alternative out-of-region languages is supported by [TWiLightMenu++](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases).

This process will unlink your NNID from the system because it will no longer be compatible with your NNID. NNIDs are locked to the region of your device that created them and cannot be transferred between regions.

If you change the region of your device:
After this process, **you will not be able to access the eShop**. This includes any feature that uses an NNID, such as game updates, purchasing DLC, or online play in certain games. Region changing to your original region will usually not fix this issue.
{: .notice--warning}
+ Your NNID, if you have one, will be unlinked. NNIDs are locked to the region that they were created in.
+ You may not be able to access the eShop, even if you [delete your eShop account](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/74/~/how-to-delete-a-nintendo-eshop-account) beforehand. This is because certain titles tend to remain linked to the 3DS, even after account deletion (especially on New 3DS).
+ The eShop contains not only games, but also game updates and DLC. Updates are usually required for online play.
+ **You will not be able to uninstall custom firmware without bricking the device!** If you intend to uninstall custom firmware in the future, you **MUST** restore your NAND backup that was created before the region change.
{% endcapture %}
Note that occasionally the eShop will inexplicably still not work for devices that it should work for. This is entirely to do with Nintendo's servers, and I really do not have any control over it. Additionally, note that occasionally the eShop will inexplicably work for devices that it should not (such as some New 3DSs). The cause for this is currently unknown.
Region changing using CTRTransfer (which this method uses) seems to cause reboot patches to break. The cause for this is unknown, but Old 3DS users, for now, will be unable to play extended memory mode games (such as Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, and Pokémon Sun / Moon) until they format their devices.
