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).
