3DS:Alternate Exploits/Homebrew Launcher (steelhax): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:25, 27 May 2023

Required Reading

This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your movable.sed file to write a custom save file for Steel Diver: Sub Wars, which can then be used to launch the Homebrew Launcher.

This process requires your console-specific movable.sed file. If you don't have it yet, you can get it by following seedminer. (Don't continue to BannerBomb3.)

If you already have Steel Diver: Sub Wars, this process will overwrite your game's save file!

What You Need

Your movable.sed file from completing Seedminer
The latest release of Steelhax (direct download)
