Installing boot9strap (SSLoth-Browser)
Technical Details (optional)
In order to exploit the Browser application, we need to bypass the browser version check, which is designed to disallow the use of the browser without updating to the latest system version.
A public proxy server is available, which, with the help of the SSLoth exploit, can bypass this check.
Once the bypass is active, an exploit webpage will be accessible which will do the rest of the job.
For technical details on the exploits that you will be using on this page, see here (SSLoth) and here (universal-otherapp).
Compatibility Notes
SSLoth allows users on version 11.13.0 and below to bypass the browser version check, allowing the use of new-browserhax or old-browserhax (compatible with versions 11.4.0 through 11.13.0 in all regions), which can then be used in conjunction with universal-otherapp.
If you have updated your device to your current version using a cartridge, your Internet Browser will be inaccessible. If this is the case, you cannot follow this method. Stay on your current firmware and ask Nintendo Homebrew on Discord for help.
