== Installing/updating Hekate==

Follow the [[switchguide:|NH Switch Guide]] to get setup with Hekate and [[Switch:Atmosphere|Atmosphere]].

Alternatively, if you're moving from fusee (for example), see the below instructions to setup Hekate:

#Power off your Nintendo Switch
#Insert the microSD card into your computer
#Download the [https://github.com/CTCaer/hekate/releases/latest latest release] of Hekate. it should be named <code>hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x_Nyx_x.x.x.zip</code>
#Open the archive and extract the <code>/bootloader</code> folder to the root of your microSD card, overwriting if asked. Then copy the <code>hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin</code> to your computer
#Eject your microSD card from your computer and reinsert it into your Nintendo Switch
If applicable, Hekate will automatically update the reboot payload on your RCM injection dongle or modchip when you boot it for the first time after updating.

==Booting Hekate ==
Via RCM:
#Put your Nintendo Switch into RCM using your preferred method
#Push the <code>hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin</code> payload using your payload launcher of choice
Via Picofly modchip:

#Rename <code>hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin</code> to <code>payload.bin</code>
#Place <code>payload.bin</code> on the root of your Switch console's microSD card
#Boot the Nintendo Switch normally

{{info|text=Hekate does not include any boot options by default. You can obtain the hekate_ipl.ini used in the NH Switch Guide [[switchguide:files/emu/hekate_ipl.ini|here]]. This file is what contains boot entries, place it in <code>/bootloader</code> on the root of your SD card.}}

Shinobijolteon: Shinobijolteon moved page Open unsigned applications on macOS Sequoia to Open unsigned applications on macOS Sequoia and newer: title edit

As of macOS Sequoia (15), Gatekeeper has tightened restrictions on running unsigned applications. The control-click and Open workaround no longer works. This guide demonstrates how to open these applications. Once an app has been opened once, it can be opened normally in the future.

== Through Terminal ==

Use the following command on the application:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">xattr -cr ./MyApp.app</syntaxhighlight>

== Through System Settings ==

#Try to open the app. A prompt saying '"My Unsigned App.app" Not Opened' may appear. [[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-NotOpened.png|260px]]
#Go to System Settings -> Privacy & Security. Scroll down to find the app, and an option to "Open Anyway". [[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-SystemSettings-PrivacyAndSecurity.png|715px]]
#Choose "Open Anyway". [[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-OpenAnyway.png|260px]]
#Authenticate as an adminstrator. [[File:SequoiaGatekeeper-AuthenticateApp.png|260px]]
#The app will now open.

Shinobijolteon: preserve new streetpass edit

'''StreetPass Mii Plaza''' is a built-in application on the Nintendo 3DS.

== Game-specific quirks ==

=== Crash when trying to buy a game ===

Due to the closure of Nintendo eShop, a crash can happen when attempting to buy a game (including getting a free game). There is no way to buy games for Mii Plaza anymore.

== Tools ==
{{warning|Please be sure to create a NAND Backup with [[3ds:Godmode9|Godmode9]] to allow yourself to revert any changes you make to your Streetpass Data.}}
{{info|If your meet.dat file is named meet(1).dat after you click save changes it has downloaded an updated meet.dat file with it's edited progress, please backup the old meet.dat file and then put it in a safe folder and rename the new meet.dat to its original name by removing the (1)}}

| PC based save editor.

This tool allows you to unlock all puzzle pieces in Puzzle Swap and fully customize your StreetPass Mii Plaza data. You can edit your StreetPass tag count (up to 999,999), Plaza Tickets, and unlock everything—including 1,000 Fantastic Ratings, all 126 map regions, all 366 birthdays, every speech balloon, and all hats, costumes, and medals (except for those from Find Mii). It also supports editing your Warrior’s Way (StreetPass Battle) progress, including Allied Soldiers and Record Army Size, which can go up to 16,777,215; however, if you set these too high (e.g., over 10 million), they may revert back to 9,999,999 or cause glitches. You can modify your constructed date (from January 2000 to December 20, 2020), battles fought, victories won, monarchs from afar defeated and challenged, and visitors welcomed, all with a maximum value of 99,999. Make sure to back up your mgBt0.dat file before making changes, in case you want to revert later. You can also use Checkpoint to back up your mgBtl0.dat (extra data) by pressing the X button. For full instructions and updates, check the information provided on the GitHub page.Please note that this does not edit other Mii Plaza game scores and progress too such as Mii Force.

|PC based hex editor.

This tool allows you to hex edit your StreetPass Mii Plaza save data, offering features similar to ArmsAsuncion’s editor but with additional capabilities. You can modify your StreetPass tags (up to 999,999), Plaza tickets, and other in-game values. It also lets you edit scores and statistics for DLC games such as Mii Force (StreetPass Squad), where you can change level and arcade mode scores up to 999,999, and Warrior’s Way (StreetPass Battle), where you can adjust both your allied army size and record size. The maximum value supported is 2,147,483,647 (the 32-bit integer limit), but setting values too high can cause bugs—such as getting negative troops or having your stats reset to the default 9,999,999. You can also change your Plaza’s constructed date (ranging from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2050), battles fought, victories won, monarchs defeated or challenged, and visitors welcomed, each with a maximum value of 99,999. Additionally, the tool includes a leaderboard editor so you can remove any illegitimate or cheated scores before deleting and blocking specific Miis to prevent further StreetPass interactions.

Shinobijolteon: fix loink

{{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. If you are following the [[3dsguide:installing-boot9strap-(mset9-cli)|MSET9 CLI]] guide, you should follow the normal [[3dsguide:troubleshooting-mset9.html|troubleshooting]] steps instead.

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 4), 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

Pretendo is an open-source project that aims to recreate [[w:Nintendo Network|Nintendo Network]] for the 3DS and Wii U. This includes but is not limited to, game servers, [[w:Miiverse|Miiverse]], friends-lists, and more.

==Installation==
For 3DS, [[udb:3ds/nimbus|Nimbus]] is available on Universal-Updater. For Wii U, [[hbappstore:wiiu/inkay|Inkay]] is available on the Homebrew App Store. Manual installation instructions for 3DS, Wii U, and Cemu can be found on the Pretendo website [https://pretendo.network/docs/install/ here].

==Usage==
<tabber>
|-|Nintendo 3DS=
Nimbus allows for switching between Pretendo and Nintendo Networks. To use Nimbus, launch it from the HOME Menu or the Homebrew Launcher, and select either '''Pretendo''' or '''Nintendo''' to switch between the two networks. While on the Pretendo Network, launch a [https://games.pretendo.zip supported game] to play online with other Pretendo users.
Some features, notably Pretendo's Miiverse replacement Juxtaposition, will require a PNID to function. A PNID is a unique identifier, functioning the same as Nintendo's NNIDs. To create a PNID open '''System Settings''' -> '''Nintendo Network ID Settings'''. Alternatively, [https://pretendo.network/account/register register for an account] using the Pretendo website, and then link an existing PNID instead. Currently, accounts created from the website will have dummy account info, it's recommended creating it from the console at this time. It's possible to change the account information from a Wii U.
Launching Nintendo Badge Arcade on Pretendo servers will remove the official badges as it is still unsupported by Pretendo, currently it's not recommended to open the Badge Arcade app.

Alternatively, [https://pretendo.network/account/register register for an account] using the Pretendo website, and then link an existing PNID instead.

'''Luma3DS''' is a [[custom firmware]]. It is the only one in active development for the 3DS.

==Installation==
This is the main custom firmware when using [[3dsguide:index|3DS Hacks Guide]]. To update, follow the steps on [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw|Restoring / Updating CFW]].

== Features ==

* Automatic patches that remove Nintendo restrictions, such as:
** Region locking, allowing you to run out-of-region cartridges and titles
** Signature checks, allowing homebrew to run from HOME Menu
** The flashcart block list, allowing you to run blocked DS flashcarts
* A "Rosalina menu" accessible from anywhere within 3DS mode with many of its own functions, such as:
** Cheat support
** Plugin loading
** Taking screenshots
** Input redirection
** Blue light filter
* LayeredFS support, allowing you to replace individual game files with modded versions on-the-fly
* FIRM write protection, preventing boot9strap from being overwritten with system updates
** This does not mean that system updates will always be immediately "safe"; from time to time, something changes in the system firmware that requires a Luma3DS update

== Usage ==
The Luma3DS repository on GitHub has {{GitHub|LumaTeam/Luma3DS/wiki|its own wiki}}, but some additional information can be found on the following pages:

* [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration|Luma3DS/Configuration]]
* [[3DS:Luma3DS/PIN lock|Luma3DS/PIN lock]]
* [[3DS:Luma3DS/Rosalina|Luma3DS/Rosalina]]

2DSaver is a 3DS homebrew app that allows initial setup to be skipped. This can be particularly helpful if your 3D slider is broken, or if your 2DS console is running downgraded firmware where initial setup does not account for a console with no 3D slider, preventing you from completing setup. 2DSaver works by running as <code>boot.3dsx</code> and using a modified configuration file for [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] which sets the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration#hbldr_3dsx_titleid|Title ID for title takeover]] to System Settings. This will then launch 2DSaver instead of initial setup; 2DSaver can then modify the [[3dbrew:ConfigSavegame|ConfigNANDSavegame]] to skip initial setup.

{{Warning|text=2DSaver requires a modern [[Custom firmware|CFW]] setup running [[3DS:Boot9strap|boot9strap 1.2]] or higher.

Shinobijolteon: fixed making a system format to fix post ctr/ region change extended memory mode games the solution to redirecting to the section of the CTRTransfer guide

The steps detailed here generally assume that your console has a modern custom firmware setup ([[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap]] + [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] 8.0 or greater). If your console is running an older homebrew setup (for example, something based on [[3DS:arm9loaderhax|arm9loaderhax]] or [[3DS:menuhax|menuhax]]), you should [[3dsguide:checking-for-cfw|update your setup]] before trying these instructions.

= Power/notification light indicators =

=== My console powers off when I try to turn it on, and/or the notification LED shows a color on boot ===

There is an issue with your <code>boot.firm</code> file. If you're running [[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap 1.4]], your 3DS notification LED may flash a certain color. This color is used to diagnose issues involving your <code>boot.firm</code> file on SD card or internal memory. On older versions of boot9strap, the blue light will power off almost immediately when trying to turn on the console.

If the notification LED flashes:

* '''White''': Your 3DS was not able to find <code>boot.firm</code> on your SD card or on internal memory.
* '''Magenta''': Your 3DS was not able to find <code>boot.firm</code> on your SD card. It was able to find <code>boot.firm</code> on internal memory, but the file is corrupted.
* '''Red''': Your 3DS was able to find <code>boot.firm</code> on both your SD card and on internal memory, but both files are corrupted.

You can get a new <code>boot.firm</code> file by downloading the latest release of {{GitHub|/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest|Luma3DS}}, extracting it, and placing <code>boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card. If your <code>boot.firm</code> file is consistently being detected as corrupted, you may want to [[Checking SD card integrity|check your SD card for errors]]. Also, note that the 3DS tends to have issues with files extracted using WinRAR.

If you hear a "popping sound", potentially accompanied with the backlight turning on for a split second, there is a hardware issue with your console (such as a disconnected backlight cable). You may be able to get your console to boot by holding it at certain angles.

=== My console gets stuck on a black screen with blue power light staying on ===

Follow [[3DS:Black screen unbrick|the Black Screen Unbrick page]]

= Error message on boot =

=== An error has occurred: Failed to apply 1 FIRM patch(es)" or "An exception has occurred -- Current process: pm" ===

Your Luma3DS version is outdated. Download the latest release of {{GitHub|/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest|Luma3DS}} and place <code>boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card, replacing any existing file. Make sure you are extracting the ZIP file with any tool other than WinRAR, as it is known to cause issues with 3DS-related files.

=== Unable to mount CTRNAND or load the CTRNAND FIRM. Please use an external one." ===
There are a number of reasons as to why this could be happening. In any case, this error can usually be fixed by following the [[3DS:CTRTransfer|CTRTransfer]] guide.

=== "An error has occurred. Hold down the POWER button to turn off the power..." ===

ARM11 exception handlers are disabled, or custom firmware is not installed. Try enabling ARM11 exception handlers:
# Power off your console
# Hold (Select)
# Power on your console, while still holding (Select)
# If the "Disable ARM11 exception handlers" box is checked, uncheck it

=== HOME Menu is missing installed applications ===

This could be caused by various reasons, but most likely because your SD card is not being read by the system.
You can check if your SD is being read by holding SELECT on boot and checking the yellow text on the bottom screen; if it says "Booted from CTRNAND via B9S", then your console is booting from the internal memory and not from the SD card.
If this is the case, attempt the steps below, which are listed from easiest to hardest:
# Power off your console, remove the SD card, re-insert it, then power on your console
# Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your computer, download the latest release of {{GitHub|/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest|Luma3DS}}, extract <code>boot.firm</code> from the <code>Luma3DS.zip</code> and place it on the root of your SD card (replacing any existing file)
# Power off your console, remove the SD card, insert it on your computer and [[Formatting an SD card|reformat your SD]] ''(this will wipe your SD card data)''
# Test your SD card for errors by following the guide according to your computer's operating system: [[Checking SD card integrity]]. If your SD card is marked as faulty, then you will have to replace your SD card
# Your SD card slot may be broken. Join [https://discord.gg/C29hYvh Nintendo Homebrew on Discord] for further assistance

=== Blue "BOOTROM ERROR" screen ===

Your console is likely hard-bricked. You will need to buy an [[3DS:ntrboot|ntrboot]] flashcart to reinstall [[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap]] in order to attempt to fix your console. This may also indicate a hardware issue that cannot be fixed. In any case, join [https://discord.gg/C29hYvh Nintendo Homebrew on Discord] for assistance.

It is also possible that someone has set a boot-time [[3DS:splash screens|splash screen]] that just looks like a brick. Try leaving your console powered on, waiting on the blue screen, for five minutes.

=== DSi / DS functionality is broken or has been replaced with Flipnote Studio===

Follow the [[3DS:DS mode unbrick|DS mode unbrick guide]]

=== GBA Virtual Console and/or Safe Mode functionality is broken===

Your console is running Luma3DS 6.6 or older, likely via arm9loaderhax. You should follow [[3dsguide:a9lh-to-b9s|A9LH to B9S]] to update your console to a modern custom firmware environment.

=== Extended memory mode games (Pokemon Sun/Moon, Smash, etc.) don't work===

This can occur after a [[3DS:CTRTransfer|CTRTransfer]] or region change on Old 3DS / 2DS. This is most likely fixed by going to this section of the [[3DS:CTRTransfer#Section_VI_-_Delete_system_config_savedata|CTRTransfer]] guide

=== Exception screen when booting/loading an application===

Look for your exception screen in [[3DS:Error screens/Luma3DS exception screen|this page]].
