Before starting this guide, we will see if custom firmware is already installed and check the current system version of your device.
|
|
|
|
#### Section I - CFW Check
|
|
|
|
1. Power off your device
|
|
1. Hold the (Select) button
|
|
1. Power on your device while still holding the (Select) button
|
|
1. If you do not see an unusual menu (e.g. "Luma3DS Configuration"), you may proceed to the next section
|
|
|
|
If you see an unusual menu, STOP - you already have custom firmware! Continue from [here](checking-for-cfw#what-to-do-next).
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
#### Section II - System Version Check
|
|
|
|
1. Open the System Settings application
|
|
1. Your system version will be displayed on the bottom right of the top screen (e.g. "Ver. 11.16.0-49U")
|
|
|
|
#### Section III - Select a Method
|
|
|
|
Use the version table below to select a method. A few things to note:
|
|
+ The version table below is *inclusive*. For example, "from 11.4.0 to 11.15.0" includes 11.4.0, 11.15.0, and all versions in between.
|
|
+ Software versions do not work the same as decimals. Versions 11.10.0 and above are newer than 11.3.0, and are therefore not compatible with Soundhax.
|
|
+ The number and letter after the system version are not important.
|
|
+ No matter the method you follow, the end result is the same (boot9strap+Luma3DS custom firmware setup on the latest firmware).
