<summary><em>Technische 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 %}
<details>{{ technical_info | markdownify }}</details>
{: .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.

### Anleitung

#### Abschnitt I - Vorbereitungen

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

1. Power off your console
1. Stecke deine SD-Karte in deinen Computer
1. Copy `boot.firm` and `boot.3dsx` from the Luma3DS `.zip` to the root of your SD card
    + The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it
1. Erstelle einen Ordner namens `boot9strap` im Stammverzeichnis deiner SD-Karte
1. Kopiere `boot9strap.firm` und `boot9strap.firm.sha` aus der boot9strap `.zip` in den `/boot9strap/`-Ordner auf deiner SD-Karte
1. Copy `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` from the SafeB9SInstaller `.zip` to the root of your SD card
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. Erstelle einen Ordner namens `3ds` im Stammverzeichnis deiner SD-Karte falls er noch nicht existiert
    + 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
    + Die `<ID1>` ist ein 32 Zeichen langer Ordner innerhalb der `<ID0>`
1. Copy the newly downloaded `00000001.sav` file to the `data` folder on your SD card
    + Overwrite the old save file when prompted
