### Required Reading
Select the appropriate page for your version from the chart below. 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.
Your device version can be found at the bottom right of the top screen of the System Settings.

{: .notice--warning}
{% capture notice-1 %}
While we believe custom firmware is relatively safe at this time, it is important to note that it will never be "ban free".
You should avoid the following actions:
1. Piracy
1. Cheating online
1. Suspicious behaviour on eShop (for example, credit card chargebacks)
We believe SpotPass and StreetPass are also safe for use at this time.
{% endcapture %}
<div class="notice--danger">{{ notice-1 | markdownify }}</div>
If you have hacked your 3DS in the past, or you purchased your 3DS second-hand, it is possible that your console already has custom firmware. You should [check for CFW](checking-for-cfw) before proceeding.
