Revision as of 02:29, 10 October 2023

Required Reading

This method only applies to users that have purchased a device from Ancient Moon Game Store (on Amazon or Aliexpress), which are sold with a stripped-down custom firmware on their devices.

What You Need

The latest release of Luma3DS (the Luma3DS .zip file)
The latest release of boot9strap (direct download)
config.bin (direct download)
Original 3DS/2DS consoles: This native.firm (direct download)
NEW 3DS/2DS consoles: This native.firm (direct download)

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Copy boot.firm and boot.3dsx from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card
- The root of the SD card refers to the initial directory on your SD card where you can see the Nintendo 3DS folder, but are not inside of it
Create a folder named boot9strap on the root of your SD card
Copy boot9strap.firm and boot9strap.firm.sha from the boot9strap .zip to the /boot9strap/ folder on your SD card
Create a folder named luma on the root of your SD card, if it does not already exist
- If this folder already exists and there is a file named config.bin inside it, delete this file
Copy native.firm to the /luma/ folder on your SD card
Copy the config.bin to the /luma/ folder on your SD card
Reinsert your SD card into your device

Section II - Installing boot9strap

Power on your device
If the exploit was successful, you will have booted into SafeB9SInstaller, then immediately have booted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
- Luma3DS configuration menu are settings for the Luma3DS custom firmware. Many of these settings may be useful for customization or debugging
- For the purpose of this guide, these settings will be left on default settings
- If your device shuts down when you try to power it on, ensure that you have copied boot.firm from the Luma3DS .zip to the root of your SD card
- If your device booted to the HOME menu without showing SafeB9SInstaller, proceed to Installing boot9strap MSET9.
Press (Start) to save and reboot
- If you get an error, just continue to the next section

At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default.

Luma3DS does not look any different from the normal HOME Menu. If your console has booted into the HOME Menu, it is running custom firmware.
On the next page, you will install useful homebrew applications to complete your setup.

Section III - Removing files

Power off your device
Insert your SD card into your computer
Delete native.firm from the /luma/ folder on your SD card
Navigate to Nintendo 3DS -> <ID0> -> <ID1> -> Nintendo DSiWare on your SD card
Delete F00D43D5.bin from your Nintendo DSiWare folder and from your computer. This file will not be needed anymore

Continue to Finalizing Setup
