<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>

To install boot9strap on your console, we derive your console's unique encryption key. To accomplish this, we use a tool called Seedminer to calculate the data encryption key (movable.sed) for your console.

Once we have `movable.sed`, we can edit the SD card data of the game Mario Kart 7 to install menuhax67, which will allow us to get Homebrew Launcher access.

Once we have Homebrew Launcher access, we can run nimdsphax to install boot9strap.

See [here](https://github.com/zoogie/kartminer7) for information about Kartminer7, [here](https://github.com/zoogie/menuhax67) for information about menuhax67, and [here](https://github.com/luigoalma/nimdsphax) for information about nimdsphax.
