3DS:Seedminer/Manual mining

Manual mining is a variant of Seedminer used to find a console's  if BruteforceMovable does not work. This method is distinct from Mii mining, which is more time-consuming and should only be used when manual mining also does not work.

Requirements

 * A computer with a dedicated GPU (graphics card) with Windows, macOS, or Linux installed.
 * Integrated graphics are extremely underpowered and should only be used as a last resort. If you use them, be aware that mining may take multiple hours as a result.
 * A second, already-hacked 3DS (called the source console in the instructions), preferably physically on-hand.
 * The source console and target console must be able to add each other as friends (whether it's done locally or via internet does not matter). If this is not possible, do Mii mining instead.

What you need

 * The [latest] and [v2.1] releases of Seedminer (the .zip files NOT labeled as source code)
 * Any 3.x version of [python] installed

Section I - Prep Work
In this section, you will obtain your console's information and prepare your devices to run the programs needed for mining.
 * 1) Extract the contents of the Seedminer  and move the folder inside it that matches your OS to anywhere on your PC - this Seedminer folder will be where multiple other files are placed
 * 2) In the Seedminer folder, hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the folder's empty space, then click the option that opens a terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt
 * 3) In the opened window, type  - once it's done installing, keep the window open as you will need it later
 * 4) Put the target console's SD card into your computer, navigate to the  folder on the SD, and copy the name of the 32-character-long folder directly inside
 * 5) *This folder, known as the ID0, is system-specific. Only one should be present - if you see multiple, follow these instructions.
 * 6) *Once you have the ID0, paste it into a document so you can reference it later
 * 7) Put the source console's SD card into your computer
 * 8) Copy  from the   zip to   on the source console's SD card
 * 9) Put the source console's SD card back into the source console

Section II - Obtaining LFCS
In this section, you will obtain the  needed for manual mining.
 * 1) Turn on both consoles
 * 2) On both consoles, go into the Friends List, click the add friend button, and add the other console as a friend
 * 3) Once the consoles are friended, on the source console, exit the Friends List and open the Homebrew Launcher
 * 4) Open seedStarter and press to dump all friend codes' LFCS
 * 5) Press and then  to exit seedStarter, close the Homebrew Launcher, then turn off the source console and insert its SD card into your computer
 * 6) On the SD card, navigate to  and copy the file that has the target console's friend code in its name
 * 7) Go to the Seedminer folder and paste this file there, then rename it to

Section III - Mining
In this section, you will mine  in order to continue with the main guide.
 * 1) Inside the Command Prompt window, enter the command
 * 2) *Replace  with the ID0 you copied into a document
 * 3) Once it completes, enter the command
 * 4) *The mining process will usually take up to 10 minutes, depending on your GPU's strength
 * 5) When it finishes, a file called  will appear in the Seedminer folder - use this in place of one obtained from BruteforceMovable
