Required Reading

Kartminer7 was discovered and developed by zoogie.

What You Need

  • A physical or digital copy of Mario Kart 7 updated to the latest version (v1.2)
    • You can update Mario Kart 7 from eShop or by following the update prompt when you launch the game
  • A computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • Your movable.sed file from completing Seedminer
  • The latest release of Kartminer7 (the release marked WINDOWS if you have a Windows computer, or the release marked LINUX-macOS if you have a macOS or Linux-based computer)
  • The latest release of menuhax67
  • The latest release of Luma3DS (the Luma3DS .zip file)

Instructions

Section I - Preparing Mario Kart 7 data

In this section, you will have the 3DS generate some data in Mario Kart 7 that will be used to install the exploit in a later section.

  1. Reinsert your SD card into your console
  2. Open Mario Kart 7
  3. Tap the “Mario Kart Channel” button on the bottom
  4. If you are prompted to, hit “Next” and “OK” to all of the prompts that you see
  5. Tap the “StreetPass List” button on the bottom of the screen, in the middle
  6. Press the (Home) button to suspend Mario Kart 7
  7. Disable wireless connections by flicking the wireless switch on the side of the console or by navigating to HOME Menu Settings (top left) -> Wireless Communication -> OFF
  8. Power off your console

Section II - SD Card Prep Work

  1. Insert your SD card into your computer
  2. 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
  3. Create a folder named 3ds on the root of your SD card if it does not already exist
    • This folder stores homebrew applications and data; it is different from the Nintendo 3DS folder that the console automatically generates
  4. Copy menuhax67_installer.3dsx from the menuhax .zip to the /3ds/ folder on your SD card
  5. Copy Launcher.dat from the folder for your model and region inside the menuhax .zip to the root of your SD card
  6. Keep your SD card inserted in your computer, as it is still required in the next section

Section III - Installing Kartminer7

  1. Extract the Release_BETA_mk7 .zip to somewhere on your computer (i.e. your desktop)
  2. Copy your movable.sed file to the resources folder of the Release_BETA_mk7 folder
    • Ensure that the file is named exactly movable.sed
  3. Open the backup folder inside of the Release_BETA_mk7 folder
  4. Double-click on the BACKUP file corresponding to your console’s region (e.g. backup_USA if you have a USA copy of Mario Kart 7)
    • If you are unsure of your console region, you can check System Settings. U = USA; E = EUR, J = JPN
    • If you get a message from Windows Defender, click “More info”, “Run anyway”, then press any key to continue
    • If the backup was successful, you should see a new folder appear
    • If you wish to restore this data at a later date (after finishing this guide), insert your SD card and double-click on the RESTORE file corresponding to your console’s region
  5. Go back to the Release_BETA_mk7 folder, then double-click on the file corresponding to your console’s region (e.g. USA if you have a USA copy of Mario Kart 7)
  6. Reinsert your SD card into your console

Section IV - Kartminer7

  1. Power on your console
  2. Open Mario Kart 7
  3. Tap the “Mario Kart Channel” button on the bottom
  4. Tap the “StreetPass List” button on the bottom of the screen, in the middle
  5. Press (A) over and over again
    • You should eventually see the “Start Race?” prompt, then the colours on the bottom screen should change from red, to blue, to white
    • If you see the red/blue/white screens but the 3DS crashes, just reboot and try again
    • If you don’t see ANY colours, change your system language (if possible), then try the exploit again
  6. If the exploit was successful, the 3DS will have booted into the 3DS ROP xPloit Injector

Section V - Installing menuhax67

  1. Press (Y) + (D-Pad Down) to install menuhax67
    • The console will automatically power off
