<summary><em>Dettagli Tecnici (opzionale)</em></summary>

Per installare boot9strap nella tua console, ne ricaviamo la sua univoca chiave di cifratura. Utilizzeremo perciò un'applicazione chiamata Seedminer per calcolare la chiave di cifratura dati (`movable.sed`) per la tua console.

Once we have `movable.sed`, we can edit the SD card data of the game Mario Kart 7 to install menuhax67, which will allow us to get Homebrew Launcher access.

Once we have Homebrew Launcher access, we can run nimdsphax to install boot9strap.

See [here](https://github.com/zoogie/kartminer7) for information about Kartminer7, [here](https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67) for information about menuhax67, and [here](https://github.com/luigoalma/nimdsphax) for information about nimdsphax.

#### Section I - Preparing Mario Kart 7 data

In this section, you will have the 3DS generate some data in Mario Kart 7 that will be used to install the exploit in a later section.

1. Reinserisci la scheda SD nella tua console
1. Open Mario Kart 7
1. Tap the "Mario Kart Channel" button on the bottom
1. If you are prompted to, hit "Next" and "OK" to all of the prompts that you see

#### Section II - SD Card Prep Work

1. Inserisci la scheda SD nel tuo computer
1. Copia i file `boot.firm` e `boot.3dsx` dall'archivio `.zip` di Luma3DS nella directory principale della tua scheda SD
    + La directory principale della scheda SD è la cartella della tua scheda SD in cui è possibile visualizzare la cartella Nintendo 3DS, ma non il suo interno
1. Crea una cartella chiamata `boot9strap` nella directory principale della tua scheda SD
1. Copia i file `boot9strap.firm` e `boot9strap.firm.sha` dall'archivio `.zip` di boot9strap nella cartella `/boot9strap/` della tua scheda SD
1. Copia il file `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` nella directory principale della tua scheda SD
1. Se assente, crea una cartella chiamata `3ds` nella directory principale della tua scheda SD
    + Questa cartella mantiene le applicazioni homebrew e i loro dati; è diversa dalla cartella `Nintendo 3DS` generata automaticamente dalla console
1. Copia la cartella `nimdsphax` dall'archivio `.zip` di nimdsphax nella cartella `/3ds/` della tua scheda SD
1. Copy `menuhax67_installer.3dsx` from the menuhax `.zip` to the `/3ds/` folder on your SD card

1. Double-click on the BACKUP `.bat` file corresponding to your console's region (e.g. backup_USA.bat se hai una copia USA di Mario Kart 7)
    + If you are unsure of your console region, you can check System Settings. U = USA; E = EUR, J = JPN
    + If you get a message from Windows Defender, click "More info", "Run anyway", then press any key to continue
    + If the backup was successful, you should see a new folder appear
    + If you wish to restore this data at a later date (after finishing this guide), insert your SD card and double-click on the RESTORE `.bat` file corresponding to your console's region
1. Go back to the Release_BETA_mk7 folder, then double-click on the `.bat` file corresponding to your console's region (e.g. USA.bat if you have a USA copy of Mario Kart 7)
