### Required Reading
This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your `movable.sed` file to write a custom save file for Pokémon Picross, which can then be used with universal-otherapp to run SafeB9SInstaller.
This process will overwrite your Pokémon Picross save file, if you have one. If you wish to preserve your Pokémon Picross game data, you should make a backup of your `00000001.sav` file before overwriting it.

1. When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
+ If the top screen is blank, reboot your device and re-launch Pokémon Picross
1. Once it is complete, press (A) to reboot your device

1. Press (Start) to save and reboot
At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.
+ Luma3DS does not look any different from the normal HOME Menu. If your console has booted into the HOME Menu, it is running custom firmware.

At this point, Pokémon Picross is no longer necessary and can be removed from your device. If you wish to play the game, restore your `00000001.sav` backup or re-download the game from the Nintendo eShop.
