If you are between 11.0.0 and 11.1.0, be prepared to wait 20 minutes (New 3DS) to an hour (Old 3DS). They must use waithax, which is named that way for a reason.
{: .notice--info}

**The linked version of waithax is incompatible with safehax. This should be fixed soon, just give it time.**
{: .notice--warning}

#### What you need

* The latest release of [Decrypt9WIP](https://github.com/d0k3/Decrypt9WIP/releases/latest/)
* The latest release of [safehax](https://github.com/TiniVi/safehax/releases/latest/)
* The latest release of [waithax](https://github.com/Mrrraou/waithax/releases/latest)
* The latest build of [svchax](images/svchax.3dsx)

#### Instructions

  + If you are below version 11.0.0, do that by launching svchax *(should finish almost instantly; may take many tries)*

6. Exit the kernel11 exploit (either svchax or waithax)
