### Required Reading
|
|
|
|
This method of accessing the Homebrew Launcher takes advantage of some browser oversights in the native 3DS Internet Browser.
|
|
|
|
These instructions work on USA, Europe, Japan, and Korea region consoles as indicated by the letters U, E, J, or K after the system version. If you have a Taiwan or China region console as indicated by the letters T or C after the system version, join [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp) and ask, in English, for help.
|
|
|
|
### What You Need
|
|
|
|
* The latest release of [the Homebrew Launcher](https://github.com/fincs/new-hbmenu/releases/latest)
|
|
* The latest release archive of BrowserHax [[for Old 3DS](https://github.com/zoogie/old-browserhax/releases/latest) / [for New 3DS](https://github.com/zoogie/new-browserhax/releases/latest)]

|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
#### Section I - Prep Work
|
|
|
|
1. Power off your console and remove the SD card
|
|
1. Connect the SD card to your computer
|
|
1. Copy `boot.3dsx` from the Homebrew Launcher release to the root of your SD card
|
|
+ The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it
|
|
1. In the BrowserHax release archive, open the folder corresponding to your console's region
|
|
+ Your console's region can be found in the final letter of the system version in System Settings: U is USA, E is EUROPE, J is JAPAN, and K is KOREA
|
|
1. Copy the `3ds` folder, `browserhax_hblauncher_ropbin_payload.bin` and `arm11code.bin` from there to the root of your SD card
|
|
+ You should now have a `Nintendo 3DS` folder, a `3ds` folder and the two `.bin` files on your root directory
|
|
|
|
#### Section II - BrowserHax
|
|
|
|
1. Open [this image](https://3ds.eiphax.tech/pic/hax.png) in a new tab or window on your computer
|
|
1. Safely remove your SD card from your computer and put it back in your console
|
|
1. Power on your console and ensure it is connected to an active WiFi network
|
|
1. From the HOME Menu, press the Left Shoulder and Right Shoulder buttons together
|
|
+ This should open a QR Scanner. If it does not, USM (the next part of getting custom firmware) will not work for you. You will need to use [Seedminer](seedminer)
|
|
+ If you need to type out the URL, it is `https://zoogie.github.io/web/nbhax/`
|
|
1. Use the QR scanner to scan the QR code you opened in the first step
|
|
1. Tap the "PROCEED TO HAXX" button
|
|
1. Wait for the process to complete
|
|
+ If it displays a yellow screen, power your console off, then try this section again
|
|
+ If you get an error, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#a-browser-based-exploit-is-not-working)
|
|
1. If the exploit was successful, your device will have loaded the Homebrew Launcher
|
|
+ If you see an error stating that no applications were found, ensure that you have copied the `3ds` folder from the BrowserHax release archive to the root of your SD card, then try this section again
|
|
