[PicHaxx](https://github.com/zoogie/pichaxx) is an exploit for the game Pokémon Picross released by [zoogie](https://github.com/zoogie), originally discovered and [demonstrated](https://twitter.com/mrnbayoh/status/744899681663258624) by [MrNbaYoh](https://github.com/MrNbaYoh).

This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to write a custom save file for Pokémon Picross, which can then be used to launch the Homebrew Launcher.
{% endcapture %}

{: .notice--info}

This process will overwrite your Pokémon Picross save file, if you have one. If you wish to preserve your Pokémon Picross game data, you should make a backup of your `00000001.sav` file before overwriting it.

### Instructions

#### Section I - Préparatifs

In this section, you will copy some of the files that will be used to launch the Homebrew Launcher.

1. Éteignez votre console
1. Insérez votre carte SD dans votre ordinateur
1. Copiez `boot.firm` et `boot.3dsx` depuis Luma3DS `.zip`vers la racine de votre carte SD
    + La racine de la carte SD représente le répertoire initial de la carte SD où vous pouvez voir le dossier Nintendo 3DS, mais ce n'est pas à l'intérieur de ce dernier
1. Créez un dossier nommé `boot9strap` à la racine de votre carte SD
1. Copiez `boot9strap.firm` et `boot9strap.firm.sha` depuis le fichier ".zip" de boot9strap vers le dossier `/boot9strap/` sur votre carte SD
1. Copiez `SafeB9SInstaller.bin` depuis le fichier `.zip` de SafeB9SInstaller à la racine de votre carte SD
1. Copy the otherapp payload for your model/region/version from `otherapps_with_CfgS_11.17.zip` to the root of your SD card, then rename the payload to `otherapp.bin`
    + Do not add the `.bin` extension if you do not already see it
1. Créez un dossier nommé `3ds` à la racine de votre carte SD si celui ci n'existe pas
    + This folder stores homebrew applications and data; it is different from the `Nintendo 3DS` folder that the console automatically generates
1. Copy the `nimdsphax` folder from the nimdsphax `.zip` to the `/3ds/` folder on your SD card

#### Section II - PicHaxx

In this section, you will create a hacked Pokémon Picross save file that, when loaded, will run the Homebrew Launcher on your console.

1. Open [the PicHaxx Injector website](https://3dstools.nhnarwhal.com/#/pichaxx) on your computer
1. Select your `movable.sed` file
1. Select "Build and Download"
1. Wait for the process to complete
1. Navigate to `Nintendo 3DS` -> `<ID0>` -> `<ID1>` -> `title` -> `00040000` -> `0017c100` -> `data` on your SD card
    + The `<ID0>` will be the same one that you used in Seedminer
    + L'`<ID1>` est un dossier de 32 caractères à l'intérieur du dossier `<ID0>`
1. Copy the newly downloaded `00000001.sav` file to the `data` folder on your SD card
    + Overwrite the old save file when prompted
