[[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]] is a full access file browser for the Nintendo 3DS console, giving you access to your SD card, the FAT partitions inside your SysNAND and EmuNAND, and basically anything else. Among other functionality, you can copy, delete, rename files, and create folders. | |||
Note that if you have any payload files other than <code>GodMode9.firm</code> in the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card, holding {{B|Start}} on boot will display a "chainloader menu" where you will have to use the D-Pad and the {{B|A}} button to select "GodMode9" for these instructions. | Note that if you have any payload files other than <code>GodMode9.firm</code> in the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder on your SD card, holding {{B|Start}} on boot will display a "chainloader menu" where you will have to use the D-Pad and the {{B|A}} button to select "GodMode9" for these instructions. | ||
