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

Latest revision as of 01:50, 18 July 2024

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

The game "Steel Diver: Sub Wars" (no longer available for download on eShop) installed on your device
Your movable.sed file from completing Seedminer
The latest release of Steelhax (direct download)
The latest release of Luma3DS (the Luma3DS .zip file)
otherapps.zip

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

- 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
Copy the steelhax folder from the Steelhax-release.zip to the root of your SD card
Copy the otherapp payload for your region/version/model from the otherapps .zip file to the /steelhax/ folder and rename it to payload.bin
Reinsert your SD card into your device
Power on your device
