<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>
<p>In order to install custom firmware on our console, we need to get Homebrew Launcher access.</p>
<p>To accomplish this, we can use the Download Play functionality of the game Mario Kart 7, using a 3DS with custom firmware already installed along with a custom game plugin.</p>
<p>This custom plugin will send a hacked payload to an unhacked console, which then exploits the system in order to inject menuhax67, which will allow us to get Homebrew Launcher access.</p>
<p>Once we have Homebrew Launcher access, we can run nimdsphax to install boot9strap.</p>
<p>See <a href="https://github.com/PabloMK7/kartdlphax">here</a> for information about kartdlphax, <a href="https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67">here</a> for information about menuhax67, and <a href="https://github.com/luigoalma/nimdsphax">here</a> for information about nimdsphax.</p>

<h3 id="compatibility-notes">Compatibility Notes</h3>
<p>In order to follow these instructions, you will need the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>A second 3DS with custom firmware (the <strong>source 3DS</strong>) that is the same region as the 3DS you are trying to modify (the <strong>target 3DS</strong>)
<ul>
<li>The consoles must be USA, JPN, or EUR region consoles</li>
<li>The source 3DS can be <a href="region-changing">region changed</a> to match the target 3DS if necessary</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>A physical or digital copy of Mario Kart 7 that is the same region as both consoles</li>
<li>An SD card for both consoles</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="what-you-need">What You Need</h3>
