## Seedminer
{% capture compat %}
Multiple long folder names in Nintendo 3DS folder
![]({{ "/images/screenshots/multiple-id0.png" | absolute_url }})
{: .notice--info}
This occurs when you use your SD card in multiple 3DS consoles and is intended to prevent inadvertently merging data that would not be valid on other consoles. To figure out which long folder name is correct for your 3DS, follow these instructions:
1. Rename the `Nintendo 3DS` folder to `BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS`
1. Reinsert your SD card into your console
1. Power on your console
1. Wait for the console to generate the SD card data
+ Your applications will have disappeared. This is normal and will be resolved shortly
1. Power off your console
1. Inserta tu tarjeta SD en tu computadora
1. Ve a la carpeta `Nintendo 3DS` en tu tarjeta SD
1. Copy the 32 character long name of the folder you see
+ This is your true ID0 that you will use in [Section II of Seedminer](seedminer#section-ii---seedminer)
1. Delete the `Nintendo 3DS` folder
1. Rename the `BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS` folder to `Nintendo 3DS`

{% endcapture %}
{{ compat | markdownify }}
{% capture compat %}
Important! You have been locked out of the automated part1 dumper system...
Tu código de amigo fue bloqueado del bot de código de amigo porque tu consola no pudo agregar al bot como amigo. Asegúrate de que tu consola esté correctamente conectada a Internet, luego únete al [Discord de Nintendo Homebrew](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) y pide que se te desbloquee.

We were unable to successfully complete your bruteforce request. :`(
El sitio web ha determinado que tu `movable.sed` no puede ser minado. Asegúrate de haber escrito correctamente el ID0 en el sitio web. If your ID0 is correct, then you will be unable to use Seedminer and you will have to use an alternate method.
If you have a New 3DS / New 3DS XL / New 2DS XL (as indicated by the four shoulder buttons on the back and the C-Stick on the right), you can follow [Homebrew Launcher (super-skaterhax)](homebrew-launcher-(super-skaterhax)). Otherwise, you will need to follow a method that requires additional games or hardware.
{% endcapture %}

## BannerBomb3
{% capture compat %}
Multiple ID1 folders inside of ID0
![]({{ "/images/screenshots/multiple-id1.png" | absolute_url }})
This can occur if you've used multiple SD cards on a 3DS and then merged the contents of the SD cards together. This is done to prevent conflicting, valid data from being merged together.
To fix this, you will need to determine which folder contains your data. Usually, this will be the larger (or largest) of the folders. Backup and delete the smaller one(s), then create a `Nintendo DSiWare` folder in the one that remains and move `F00D43D5.bin` to that location.
{% endcapture %}
{{ compat | markdownify }}
{% capture compat %}
DSiWare Management menu crashes without showing BB3 multihax menu
Ensure that `F00D43D5.bin` is the only file in `Nintendo 3DS` -> `` -> `` -> `Nintendo DSiWare`. If it is, then re-create it with the [Bannerbomb3 Injector](http://3dstools.nhnarwhal.com/#/bb3gen).
Also, ensure that `bb3.bin` is on the root of the SD card. If it is missing, then download the latest release of [Bannerbomb3](https://github.com/lifehackerhansol/Bannerbomb3/releases/download/v3.0-lhs1/bb3.bin) (direct download), and copy the `bb3.bin` file to the root of your SD card.
If neither of these solutions fixes this problem, then custom firmware may have been uninstalled on this console in a way that makes this method impossible to perform. If this is the case, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask, in English, for help.

## Boot issues on consoles with custom firmware
The steps detailed here generally assume that your console has a modern custom firmware setup (boot9strap + Luma3DS 8.0 or greater). Si tu consola tiene una configuración antigua (por ejemplo, algo basado en arm9loaderhax o menuhax), deberías actualizar dicha configuración antes de seguir estas instrucciones.
{: .notice--info}
### Power/notification light indicators
{% capture compat %}
My console powers off when I try to turn it on, and/or the notification LED shows a color on boot
There is an issue with your `boot.firm` file. If you're running [boot9strap 1.4](https://github.com/SciresM/boot9strap/releases/tag/1.4), your 3DS notification LED may flash a certain color. This color is used to diagnose issues involving your `boot.firm` file on SD card or internal memory. On older versions of boot9strap, the blue light will power off almost immediately when trying to turn on the console.
If the notification LED flashes:
- **White**: Your 3DS was not able to find `boot.firm` on your SD card or on internal memory.
- **Magenta**: Your 3DS was not able to find `boot.firm` on your SD card. It was able to find `boot.firm` on internal memory, but the file is corrupted.
- **Red**: Your 3DS was able to find `boot.firm` on both your SD card and on internal memory, but both files are corrupted.
You can get a new `boot.firm` file by downloading the [latest release of Luma3DS](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest), extracting it, and placing `boot.firm` on the root of your SD card. If your `boot.firm` file is consistently being detected as corrupted, you may want to check your SD card for errors ([Windows](h2testw-(windows)), [Linux](f3-(linux)), or [macOS](f3xswift-(mac))). Also, note that the 3DS tends to have issues with files extracted using WinRAR.
If you hear a "popping sound", potentially accompanied with the backlight turning on for a split second, there is a hardware issue with your console (such as a disconnected backlight cable). You may be able to get your console to boot by holding it at certain angles.

My console gets stuck on a black screen with blue power light staying on
Los pasos siguientes se pueden intentar en cualquier orden, pero están ordenados por cantidad de tiempo que toma realizar.
1. Power off your console, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your console.
1. Power off your console, eject the game cartridge if inserted, power on your console, then wait up to ten minutes. If your console boots within ten minutes, the issue has been fixed and is unlikely to reoccur
1. Cambia el nombre de la carpeta `Nintendo 3DS` de tu tarjeta SD a `Nintendo 3DS_BACKUP`, luego intenta encenderla. If your console successfully boots, there is some issue within your `Nintendo 3DS` folder. Try clearing HOME Menu extdata:
+ Ve a `/Nintendo 3DS///extdata/00000000/`
+ Delete the corresponding folder for your 3DS region:
+ **Región EUR**: `00000098`
+ **Región JPN**: `00000082`
+ **Región USA**: `0000008f`
+ **Región CHN**: `000000A1`
+ **Región KOR**: `000000A9`
+ **Región TWN**: `000000B1`
1. Intenta iniciar en modo de recuperación y actualizar tu consola:
+ Power off your console
+ Mantén presionado (L) + (R) + (D-Pad Arriba) + (A)
+ Power on your console
+ If you were successful, the console will boot to an "update your system" screen
1. Sigue la guía de [CTRTransfer](ctrtransfer)

HOME Menu is missing installed applications
This could be caused by various reasons, but most likely because your SD card is not being read by the system.
You can check if your SD is being read by holding SELECT on boot and checking the yellow text on the bottom screen; if it says "Booted from CTRNAND via B9S", then your console is booting from the internal memory and not from the SD card.
If this is the case, attempt the steps below, which are listed from easiest to hardest:
1. Power off your console, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your console
1. Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC, download the latest release of [Luma3DS](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest), extract `boot.firm` from the `Luma3DS.zip` and place it on the root of your SD card (replacing any existing file)
1. Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your PC and reformat your SD card according to your computer's operating system: [Windows](formatting-sd-(windows)), [macOS](formatting-sd-(mac)), [Linux](formatting-sd-(linux)) *(this will wipe your SD card data)*
1. Test your SD card for errors by following the guide according to your computer's operating system: [Windows](h2testw-(windows)), [Linux](f3-(linux)), [macOS](f3xswift-(mac)). If your SD card is marked as faulty, then you will have to replace your SD card
1. Your SD card slot may be broken. Join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) for further assistance
