{{Shortcut|3DS:MEHBL}}
If you are missing the Homebrew Launcher application from your HOME Menu, you can follow these instructions to manually enter the Homebrew Launcher.

===What you need===
The latest release of {{GitHub|/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest|Luma3DS}}

===Prep work===
*Insert your SD card into your computer
*Copy <code>boot.firm</code> and <code>boot.3dsx</code> from the Luma3DS <code>.zip</code> to the root of your SD card
*reinsert your SD card into your console

===Entering Homebrew Launcher===
# Power on your console
# Launch the '''Download Play''' application
# Wait until you see the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS buttons
# Press {{B|L|Down|SELECT}} at the same time to open the Rosalina menu
# Select “'''Miscellaneous options'''”
# Select “'''Switch the hb. title to the current app.'''”
# Press {{B|B}} to continue
# Press {{B|B}} to return to the Rosalina main menu
# Press {{B|B}} to exit the Rosalina menu
# Press {{B|HOME}} to suspend Download Play
# Press the “'''Close'''” button on the bottom screen to close Download Play

3DS:MSET9 fresh

2024-08-13T23:23:09Z

Blueness: fresh is for play store only now

{{shortcut|3DS:M9F|3ds:MSET9F}}
==Required Reading==
If you are experiencing the "System Settings loading infinitely after reinserting the SD card" error when trying to install MSET9 using the [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(mset9-play-store)#section-ii---mset9|MSET9 Play Store]] guide, this page will help you resolve that issue by swapping to a spare SD card.

All of your original games and saves will be kept intact if you follow the steps properly.

Before starting this guide, please ensure the following two things:
# You have chosen the correct model type (New vs. Old) and system version in the MSET9 setup.
#* New models have four shoulder buttons ({{B|L|ZL|ZR|R}}) and the C-Stick directly above the Y button - Old models have two shoulder buttons ({{B|L|R}}) and no C-Stick.
# You injected MSET9 in Section II Step 10, not any earlier.
#* If System Settings is stuck because you injected too early (such as in Section II Step 5), just follow the instructions for removing MSET9 and then restart from the beginning of Section II. You do not have to swap out or reformat your SD card in this case.

== Instructions ==

Follow these steps first to remove MSET9:

# Power off your console
#* If the console is infinitely loading on the extra data screen, forcibly power it off by holding down the power button for 15 seconds
# Insert your SD card into your phone/tablet/computer
# Run the '''MSET9 Installer''' application
# If <code>Remove MSET9</code> is not highlighted:
#* Tap on <code>Select "Nintendo 3DS" Folder</code>, then navigate to <code>sd:/Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on your SD card
#* Once inside the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder, tap on '''Use this folder''', then '''Allow''' if asked
# Tap <code>Remove MSET9</code>
# Proceed to the next section

{{info|Android phones and Chromebooks cannot format SDs correctly. As such, this method only works if you have a spare SD card that is already formatted to FAT32. If you do not have a spare SD card that is formatted to FAT32, you will need to use one of the other two methods in this section.

3DS:MSET9 fresh

2023-12-11T06:11:07Z

Blueness: formatting, added play store section and steps

If you are experiencing the "System Settings loading infinitely after reinserting the SD card" error when trying to install MSET9 using the [https://3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(mset9-cli)#section-ii---mset9 PC (cli)] or [https://3ds.hacks.guide/installing-boot9strap-(mset9-play-store)#section-ii---mset9 Play Store] guide, this page will help you resolve that issue by using a blank SD card to perform a fresh install with either a spare SD card, or your original SD card which has been backed up and formatted to avoid issues caused by your current install.

It also works if you aren't getting the Mii Maker entry at the Extra Data screen.

All of your original games and saves will be intact as long as you follow the steps properly.

Before continuing please ensure you are choosing the right model (old 3DS, old 3DS XL, old 2DS vs New 3DS, New 3DS XL, New 2DS XL) and correct system version.

Also please make sure you are injecting AFTER ejecting from the extra data screen and not before.

NOTE: If your Extra Data has crashed at Section II Step 5 and you never saw the mii maker icon, you injected early. Follow the steps below to remove MSET9 and try Section II again.

**'''Arm9:''' The 'security processor' of the system. These exceptions usually result from errors in NAND data or hardware faults in either the 3DS or its SD card.
**'''Arm11:''' The 'userland' of the system. These exceptions have numerous causes but are often related to broken software or user data.
* '''Exception type:''' How the system is causing the exception. These categories are often too broad to be helpful, but three of them are more precise:
**'''data abort''': Oftentimes related to a broken mod or broken HOME Menu data. Occasionally related to custom firmware data being broken.
**'''prefetch abort (svcBreak)''': Oftentimes an issue with data on the NAND, even when Arm11. Can also happen when launching an out-of-region game.
**'''undefined instruction''': Usually either a broken piece of software (if not on boot) or outdated <code>boot.firm</code> (if on boot).
*'''Fault status:''' Why the system is causing the exception. Normally not helpful except for developers.
*'''Current process:''' Where the error is coming from in the system. Often the most helpful part of the exception. Some examples of processes are as follows:
**'''fs''': The filesystem, i.e. either the SD card or the NAND.
**'''menu''': Data that is opened either as a part of the HOME Menu or at the same time as it.
**'''loader''': The service that opens apps, meaning the app you last tried to open has an issue.
**'''nwm''': Networking services, almost always WiFi.
**'''ns''': The <u>N</u>intendo User Interface <u>S</u>hell, which handles all apps/processes/services in 3DS mode.
*'''R0''': Usually just internal data that's not worth reading. There are two notable exceptions, however:
**'''Arm11 loader exception''': If R0's contents start with a C or D, R0 is an error code. This code usually gives the exact cause of the issue.
**'''Arm11 pm exception''': If R0's contents are <code>E0E01BF5</code>, <code>boot.firm</code> is guaranteed to be too outdated to work.

== Known Errors ==
In the following list, the file prefixes on file paths refer to the starting location. <code>sd:/</code> refers to the SD card, and numbers in the format of <code>[X:]</code> refer to GodMode9's drive numbers.

MSET9 Troubleshooting

==Troubleshooting==

==="Nintendo 3DS/<ID0>/<ID1>/dbs/<import.db and/or title.db> does not exist on SD card!" and "Create them now? (type yes/no)" when using Option 1 or "Invalid database"===
No valid title database is present because you never installed any titles from eShop on this SD card.

#Type "yes", then press Enter
#Insert the SD card into your console
#Power on your console
#Navigate to System Settings -> Data Management -> Nintendo 3DS -> Software -> Reset ([https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hacks-guide/Guide_3DS/master/images/screenshots/database-reset.jpg visual instructions])
#Power off your console
#Insert the SD card into your computer
#Return to Section I Step 7

===[WinError 5] Access is denied===
The SD card may be write-locked. If you are using a full-size SD card, ensure that the lock is flipped in the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hacks-guide/Guide_3DS/master/images/sdlock.png upright position]. Otherwise, try ejecting and reinserting your SD card.

===UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'haxid1_path'===

This can happen when Option 1 stopped because of an error and there is an incomplete installation.

#Close the script window
#Execute the <code>mset9.py</code> script on the root of the SD card
#*'''Windows''': Double-click <code>mset9.bat</code>
#**If this doesn't work: hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the SD card window, then click the option that opens Terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt, then type <code>py -3 mset9.py</code> and press Enter
#*'''Linux''': open a Terminal window, <code>cd</code> to the root of your SD card, then type <code>python3 mset9.py</code> and press Enter

#Type <code>4</code>, then press Enter to remove MSET9
#Return to Section I Step 1

===Red screen after reinserting SD card (Section II Step 11)===
You may be missing <code>SafeB9S.bin</code> from the root of your SD card, or the file may be corrupted. Copy it from the <code>SDMC</code> folder in the MSET9 <code>.zip</code> replacing any existing files.

Alternatively, your SD card may be improperly formatted or partitioned. Try [[Formatting an SD card|reformatting your SD card]].

=== assert(id0_count == 1) AssertionError ===
You have multiple ID0 folders. To examine the correct folder, follow these instructions:

# Rename the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder to <code>BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code>
# Reinsert your SD card into your console
# Power on your console
# Wait for the console to generate the SD card data
#* Your applications will have disappeared. This is normal and will be resolved shortly
# Power off your console
# Insert your SD card into your computer
# Navigate to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on your SD card
# Write down the first few characters of the folder you see
#* This is your true ID0 we will keep in the real Nintendo 3DS folder
# Delete the ID0 from the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder
# Move the true ID0 folder from the <code>BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code> folder to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder
# If it exists, move the <code>Private</code> folder from the <code>BACKUP_Nintendo 3DS</code> folder to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder

=== assert(mii_ok==1) AssertionError ===
Your SD card does not have Mii Maker Data.

#Close the script window
