### Required Reading

Als je je 3DS al eens eerder gehacked hebt met een op EmuNAND-gebaseerde CFW setup, deze handleiding zal zich alleen maar met sysNAND zich bezig houden, dus moet je alle instructies volgen vanuit of toepassend op SysNAND. Merk op dat de termen EmuNAND en RedNAND naar iets andere implementaties van [hetzelfde concept verwijzen](http://3dbrew.org/wiki/NAND_Redirection).

Soundhax (when combined with pre9otherapp) is compatible with versions 5.0.0 through 8.1.0 in the EUR, JPN, KOR, and USA regions.

To extract the `.7z` files linked on this page, you will need a file archiver like [7-Zip](http://www.7-zip.org/) or [The Unarchiver](https://theunarchiver.com/).

{% capture notice-1 %}

Note that cartridge updates will only deliver updates to core features, such as the System Settings, Home Menu, etc. cartridge updates will not deliver updates to Nintendo 3DS Sound and Network features, such as System Transfer, Internet Browser, StreetPass Mii Plaza, or eShop.

This means that using a cartridge update from a version containing an older Nintendo 3DS Sound version *(<3.0.0)* to one that introduced a newer Nintendo 3DS Sound version will break [Soundhax](homebrew-launcher-(soundhax))! You will need an [alternate method](installing-boot9strap-(mset)) of entering the Homebrew Launcher!

1. If you've never opened Nintendo 3DS Sound before and get tips on how to use it from a bird icon, go through all of the bird tips, then close the app normally and relaunch it
  + In this situation, launching Soundhax immediately would cause these tips to appear on every launch of the Nintendo 3DS Sound until this is done
1. Ga naar `/SDCARD`, en speel dan "<3 nedwill 2016" af
  + Dit kan meerdere pogingen nodig hebben
  + Als het vastloopt, zet het apparaat dan gewoon uit door de power knop ingedrukt te houden, probeer het daarna opnieuw
