'''Manual mining''' is a name for one of two processes that allows you to find a console's <code>movable.sed</code> without the help of an outside resource.

*The target console's ID0.
*A second, already-hacked 3DS (called the '''source console''' from now on).
**Both the source console and target console must be able to add friends.

==Instructions==

===What you need===
*The [[https://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/latest latest]] and [[https://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/tag/v2.1 v2.1]] releases of seedminer (the .zip files NOT labeled as source code).
*Any 3.x version of [[https://www.python.org/downloads/ python]].

===Section I - Prep Work===
In this section, you will obtain needed information and prepare your PC & the source console to run the programs needed for mining.
#Extract the contents of the Seedminer <code>.zip</code> to a folder anywhere on your PC - this will be where multiple other files are placed
#Inside the extracted Seedminer folder, click on the address bar and type <code>cmd</code>, then press Enter - a Command Prompt window will appear
#In Command Prompt, type <code>py -3 -mpip install pycryptodomex</code> - once it's done installing, keep the window open as you will need it later
#Put the target console's SD card into your computer, navigate to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on the SD, and copy the name of the 32-character-long folder directly inside
#*This folder, known as the ID0, is system-specific. Only one should be present - if you see multiple, follow [[3dsguide:troubleshooting#multiple-long-names-in-nintendo-3ds-folder|these instructions.]]
#Put the target console's SD card back into the target console and put the source console's SD card into your computer
#Copy <code>seedstarter.3dsx</code> from the <code>RELEASE_v2.1</code> zip to <code>sdmc:/3ds</code> on the source console's SD card
#Put the source console's SD card back into the source console

===Section II - Obtaining LFCS===
In this section, you will obtain the <code>movable_part1.sed</code> needed for manual mining.
#Turn on both consoles
#On both consoles, go into the Friends List, click the add friend button, and add the other console as a friend
#Once the consoles are friended, on '''the source 3DS''', back out of the Friends List and open the Homebrew Launcher
#Open seedStarter and press {{B|B}} to dump all LFCS from friend codes
#Press {{B|A}} and then {{B|START}} to exit seedStarter, close the Homebrew Launcher, then turn off the '''source 3DS''' and insert its SD card into your computer
#On the SD card, navigate to <code>sdmc:/seedstarter/LFCS</code> and copy the file with the '''target console's''' friend code in its name
#Go to the Seedminer folder and paste this file there, then rename it to <code>movable_part1.sed</code>

===Section III - Mining===
In this section, you will mine <code>movable.sed</code> in order to continue with the normal guide.
#Inside the Command Prompt window, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py id0 <id0></code>
#*Replace <code><id0></code> with the ID0 of the target console
#Once completed, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py gpu</code>
#*This will take up to 10 minutes, depending on your GPU's strength
#Once it is finished, the file <code>movable.sed</code> will appear in the Seedminer folder - use this in place of one obtained from BruteforceMovable
