'''Manual mining''' is a name for one of two processes that allows you to find a console's <code>movable.sed</code> without the help of an outside resource. The method described in this guide is also named Manual Mining - the other is called '''Mii Mining''' and should only be used when manual mining is also impossible.

==Requirements==

*A computer with a dedicated GPU (graphics card) that is running Windows, macOS, or Linux.

**~~Integrated~~ graphics ~~will still work~~, but are extremely underpowered and may ~~cause mining to~~ take multiple hours. ~~This guide does not recommend their~~ use.

**You can use integrated graphics, but they are extremely underpowered and mining with them may take multiple hours. Only use a dedicated GPU unless you have no other choice.

*A second, already-hacked 3DS (called the '''source console''' ~~from now on~~).

*A second, already-hacked 3DS (called the '''source console''' in the instructions).

**Both the source console and target console must be able to add friends.

===Section I - Prep Work===

In this section, you will obtain ~~needed~~ information and prepare your ~~PC & the source console~~ to run the programs needed for mining.

In this section, you will obtain your console's information and prepare your devices to run the programs needed for mining.

#Extract the contents of the Seedminer <code>.zip</code> and move the folder inside it that matches your OS to anywhere on your PC - this Seedminer folder will be where multiple other files are placed

#~~While holding~~ SHIFT, right-click anywhere in the empty space ~~of the Seedminer folder~~, then click the option that opens a terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt

#In the Seedminer folder, hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the folder's empty space, then click the option that opens a terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt

#In the opened window, type <code>py -3 -mpip install pycryptodomex</code> - once it's done installing, keep the window open as you will need it later

#Put the target console's SD card into your computer, navigate to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on the SD, and copy the name of the 32-character-long folder directly inside

===Section III - Mining===

In this section, you will mine <code>movable.sed</code> in order to continue with the ~~normal~~ guide.

In this section, you will mine <code>movable.sed</code> in order to continue with the main guide.

#Inside the Command Prompt window, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py id0 <id0></code>
