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

We use BannerBomb3 to install menuhax67, which lets us access the Homebrew Launcher. From there, we launch nimdsphax which launches SafeB9SInstaller. 

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