<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>
[PicHaxx](https://github.com/zoogie/pichaxx) is an exploit for the game Pokémon Picross released by [zoogie](https://github.com/zoogie), originally discovered and [demonstrated](https://twitter.com/mrnbayoh/status/744899681663258624) by [MrNbaYoh](https://github.com/MrNbaYoh).

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 to launch the Homebrew Launcher.
{% endcapture %}

{: .notice--info}

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.

### Instructies

#### Deel I - Voorbereiding

In this section, you will copy some of the files that will be used to launch the Homebrew Launcher.

1. Zet je console uit
1. Plaats je SD kaart in je computer
1. Kopieer `boot.firm` en `boot.3dsx` van de Luma3DS `.zip` naar de hoofdmap van je SD-kaart
    + De hoofdmap van de SD-kaart verwijst naar de bovenste map van de SD-kaart, waarin je alle mappen op de SD-kaart kunt zien, waaronder de Nintendo 3DS map, zonder je in de Nintendo 3DS map te bevinden
1. Maak een map genaamd `boot9strap` op de hoofdmap van je SD-kaart
1. Kopieer `boot9strap.firm` en `boot9strap.firm.sha` van de boot9strap `.zip` naar de `/boot9strap/` map op je SD-kaart
1. Kopieer `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` van de SafeB9SInstaller `.zip` naar de hoofdmap van je SD-kaart
1. Copy the otherapp payload for your model/region/version from `otherapps_with_CfgS_11.17.zip` to the root of your SD card, then rename the payload to `otherapp.bin`
    + Do not add the `.bin` extension if you do not already see it
1. Maak een map genaamd "3ds" op de hoofdmap van je SD-kaart als die nog niet bestaat
    + This folder stores homebrew applications and data; it is different from the `Nintendo 3DS` folder that the console automatically generates
1. Copy the `nimdsphax` folder from the nimdsphax `.zip` to the `/3ds/` folder on your SD card

#### Section II - PicHaxx

In this section, you will create a hacked Pokémon Picross save file that, when loaded, will run the Homebrew Launcher on your console.

1. Open [the PicHaxx Injector website](https://3dstools.nhnarwhal.com/#/pichaxx) on your computer
1. Select your `movable.sed` file
1. Select "Build and Download"
1. Wait for the process to complete
1. Navigate to `Nintendo 3DS` -> `<ID0>` -> `<ID1>` -> `title` -> `00040000` -> `0017c100` -> `data` on your SD card
    + The `<ID0>` will be the same one that you used in Seedminer
    + `<ID1>` is een reeks van 32 characters lang en bevindt zich in de map van de `<ID0>`
1. Copy the newly downloaded `00000001.sav` file to the `data` folder on your SD card
    + Overwrite the old save file when prompted

    {: .notice--info}

1. Stop je SD-kaart terug in je console
1. Zet je console aan
1. Launch "Pokémon Picross"
1. Your console will have booted into the Homebrew Launcher
    + If you get an error message, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#homebrew-launcher-pichaxx)
1. Launch nimdsphax from the list of homebrew
1. Als de exploit succesvol was, zal je SafeB9SInstaller hebben opgestart
    + If your console freezes on a red screen, hold the POWER button until it turns off, then retry this section
