| | From Data Management= | | <br>If this applies to you, you can fix stock firmware by booting into [[3DS:GodMode9|GodMode9]], copying your <code>movable.sed</code> from <code>1:/private</code> to the '''destination console''''s SD root, copying <code>MovableMoveover.gm9</code> to the <code>/gm9/scripts/</code> folder on the SD card, and then doing the instructions from Section II onward on the '''destination console''' only.}} |
