Revision as of 00:35, 31 December 2022

Required Reading

Pichaxx is an exploit for the game Pokémon Picross released by zoogie, originally discovered and demonstrated by MrNbaYoh. This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your movable.sed file to write a custom save file for Pokémon Picross, which can then be used to launch the Homebrew Launcher.

This process will overwrite your Pokémon Picross save file, if you have one. If you wish to preserve your Pokémon Picross game data, you should make a backup of your 00000001.sav file before overwriting it.
