-DSaver is a 3DS homebrew app that allows initial setup to be skipped. This can be particularly helpful if your 3D slider is broken, or if your 2DS console is running downgraded firmware where initial setup does not account for a console with no 3D slider, preventing you from completing setup. 2DSaver works by running as <code>boot.3dsx</code> and using a modified configuration file for [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] which sets the [[3DS:Luma3DS/Configuration#hbldr_3dsx_titleid|Title ID for title takeover]] to System Settings. This will then launch 2DSaver instead of initial setup; 2DSaver can then modify the [[3dbrew:ConfigSavegame|ConfigNANDSavegame]] to skip initial setup.
-{{Warning|text=2DSaver requires a modern [[Custom firmware|CFW]] setup running [[3DS:Boot9strap|boot9strap 1.2]] or higher. If you are running an older CFW setup, first [[3dsguide:checking-for-cfw|upgrade your setup]] before following these steps. If you do not have CFW installed you will need to install it with [[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]].}}
