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

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
