<summary><em>Technical Details (optional)</em></summary>
[MSET9](https://github.com/zoogie/MSET9) is an exploit for the System Settings application developed by [zoogie](https://github.com/zoogie). It exploits a flaw where the ID1 (the second 32-character folder name inside of the Nintendo 3DS folder, inside of the ID0) can be *any* name as long as it is 32 characters. Performing a specific sequence of actions results in the console executing the instructions that are encoded into the ID1 folder name, which can be used to grant full control over the 3DS.

### Compatibility Notes

This page requires a computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS. If you have an Android phone/tablet or a Chromebook, follow [Installing boot9strap (MSET9 Play Store)](installing-boot9strap-(mset9-play-store)) instead. If you do not have access to any of these devices, you will need to use an [alternate exploit](https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/3DS:Alternate_Exploits).
{: .notice--warning}

### What You Need

* The latest release of [MSET9](https://github.com/zoogie/MSET9/releases/latest) (the Release `.zip` file)
* Any 3.x version of [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) **installed on your computer**
    + If you are on Linux or macOS, you may already have Python 3. Check by opening a Terminal window and entering `python3 -V`. If this returns a version number, it will work for this guide.

### Instructions

On this page, you will use the MSET9 script, which is used to trigger MSET9. If you get a numbered error (e.g. Error 01) when running the script, the solution to that error can most likely be found on the [troubleshooting](troubleshooting#installing-boot9strap-mset9) page.

1. Wait for your console to reach the "Welcome to Mii Maker" screen, then exit Mii Maker
    + You may see [this screen](/images/screenshots/mset9/mii-extdata.png), which indicates the necessary data has been created
    + If you just reach the normal Mii Maker screen, exit Mii Maker and continue to the next step
1. Power off your console
1. Insert your SD card into your computer
1. Copy everything from the Release `.zip` to the root of your SD card, overwriting any existing files
