Before starting this guide, we will see if custom firmware is already installed and check the current system version of your console.

#### Deel I - CFW Controle

1. Zet je console uit
1. Houd de (Select) knop ingedrukt
1. Power on your console while still holding the (Select) button
1. If you do not see a custom menu (your console just boots to the HOME Menu), you may proceed to the next section

If you see the Luma3DS configuration screen or any other custom menu (e.g. GodMode9, Decrypt9WIP), STOP - you already have custom firmware! Ga verder vanaf [hier](checking-for-cfw#what-to-do-next).
{: .notice--warning}

#### Deel II - Systeemversie controle

1. Launch System Settings on your console
1. Je systeemversie wordt rechtsonder op het bovenste scherm weergegeven (bijv. "Ver. 11.17.0-50U")

#### Deel III - Selecteer een methode

To find the correct method for your console, please select the model of your console and the system version you found in Section II.

{% capture noneSelected %}
System model is required.
{% endcapture %}

{% capture invalidVersion %}
This doesn't seem to be a valid system version.
{% endcapture %}

{% include consoleVersionSelect.html noneSelected=noneSelected invalidVersion=invalidVersion methodUnavailable=methodUnavailable %}
