Technical Details (optional)

PicHaxx is an exploit for the game Pokémon Picross released by zoogie, originally discovered and demonstrated by 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.

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.

Wat je nodig hebt

  • The game “Pokémon Picross” installed on your console
    • If you have downloaded it before, you can redownload it
    • Your SD card must be inserted in your console to install Pokémon Picross
  • Your movable.sed file from completing Seedminer
  • The latest release of Luma3DS (the Luma3DS .zip file)
  • otherapps.zip (direct download)

Instructies

Deel I - Voorbereiding

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

  1. Power off your console
  2. Plaats je SD kaart in je computer
  3. 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
  4. Copy the otherapp payload for your model/region/version from otherapps.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
  5. Copy movable.sed from your computer to the root of your SD card

Section II - PicHaxx

  4. Wait for the process to complete
  5. 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>
  6. Copy the newly downloaded 00000001.sav file to the data folder on your SD card
    • Overwrite the old save file when prompted

  10. If the exploit was successful, your console will have booted into the Homebrew Launcher

Section III - Hardware Button Check

In this section, you will see whether you can access Safe Mode on your console. This will determine which method you will follow on the next page.

  2. Once you see the HOME Menu, press the (Left Shoulder) and (Right Shoulder) buttons at the same time
    • The camera applet should appear
  3. Power off your console
