## What is custom firmware?
|
||
|
||
**Custom firmware** ("CFW") is a full software modification to your 3DS, comparable to "administrator access" on a computer. It allows you to do anything that the 3DS is physically capable of doing, rather than being limited by whatever Nintendo allows you to do.
|
||
|
||
Popular uses for custom firmware include:
|
||
|
||
* Running homebrew software and games made for or ported to the Nintendo 3DS
|
||
* Bypassing the region lock, allowing you to play games from other regions
|
||
* HOME Menu customization, using community-created themes and badges
|
||
* Modification of games ("ROM hacks") through [LayeredFS](https://github.com/knight-ryu12/godmode9-layeredfs-usage/wiki/Using-Luma3DS'-layeredfs-(Only-version-8.0-and-higher))
|
||
* Save data editing, backup, and restore
|
||
* Emulation of older consoles, as well as native playback of DS and GBA games
|
||
* Installing your physical cartridges for digital use
|

## Τι εγκαθιστά αυτός ο οδηγός;
|
||
|
||
This guide will:
|
||
+ Install **boot9strap** and **Luma3DS custom firmware** on unmodified retail 3DS/2DS devices
|
||
+ Luma3DS will automatically remove the region lock and allow you to run unsigned software
|
||
+ Install various pieces of homebrew software, such as a package installer, save file manager, and a homebrew app store
|
||
+ Make critical system file backups that can help avoid bricks (and recover data in the event of one)
