{: .notice--primary}

Note that the "from" and "to" fields are inclusive. This means that, for example, the "from 9.0.0 to 9.2.0" row includes 9.0.0, 9.1.0, and 9.2.0.
{: .notice--info}

Note that the last number of your system version (which is preceded by a dash) refers to your browser version. Currently, the browser version is irrelevant to the New 3DS in this guide.
{: .notice--info}

For all versions you can also [Cart Update](cart-update) to a higher version in the same column to follow its instructions.
{: .notice--info}

Your device version can be found at the bottom right of the top screen of the System Settings.
{: .notice--success}

Note that the new [Installing boot9strap (Hardmod)](installing-boot9strap-(hardmod)) method works on *all devices, regions, and versions*! This includes CHN and TWN region devices that were previously unhackable!
