<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>

We use BannerBomb3 to install menuhax67, which lets us access the Homebrew Launcher. From there, we launch uloader which launches SafeB9SInstaller. 

See [here](https://github.com/zoogie/uloader) for information about uloader and [here](https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67) for information about menuhax67.

1. Navigate to `Data Management` -> `DSiWare` -> `SD Card` ([image](/images/screenshots/bb3/dsiware-management.png))

1. Use the D-Pad to navigate and press the (A) button to select "Install *hax"
  + Your console will automatically reboot

#### Section III - menuhax67

In this section you will use the menuhax67 exploit installed earlier to launch uloader, which will load SafeB9SInstaller.

1. Tap on the small HOME Menu settings icon in the top left of the bottom screen (![]({{ "/images/homemenuicon.png" | absolute_url }}){: height="32px" width="52px"})
  + If the console freezes for a while and then crashes, make sure you have Launcher.dat on the root of your SD card
1. If the exploit was successful, your console will have booted into the Homebrew Launcher
1. Launch uloader from the list of homebrew
1. Si el exploit ha funcionado, habrás iniciado SafeB9SInstaller
  + If the console freezes or crashes, force power off the console, then retry this section

#### Section V - Removing menuhax67
