# Power off your console and insert the SD card into your computer
# Follow the instructions on [[3DS:Ctrcheck|the ctrcheck page]]
# Open [https://gist.github.com/StarlitSkies/f417c1ded9de8fceffdb532f92823377/raw this link] in a browser, then right-click the page and choose the option that says 'Save As', 'Save Page As', or similar
# If you did not get <code>Fatal Error: NVRAM is inaccessible</code>, then reboot after trying all other applicable fixes
# Place the resulting file (<code>ctrcheck.gm9</code>) in <code>sd:/gm9/scripts</code> on the SD card
# Attempt to open something that uses DS mode
# Reinsert the SD card into your console
# While holding {{B|START}}, power on your console to launch '''GodMode9'''
# Press the {{B|HOME}} button, then go into '''Scripts...''' -> '''ctrcheck''' -> '''Everything'''
# If any text that includes "Accept the following prompt to fix it automatically" appears, press A and accept the following sysNAND unlock
# Once it finishes, read the outputs on the lower screen. If they say any of the following, do the matching instructions:
#* <code>Warning: ______ installed to firm0/firm1</code>: Update your bootloader using [[3dsguide:updating-b9s|this page of 3DS Hacks Guide]]
#** This also applies if the <code>Warning:</code> text instead reads <code>Critical:</code>, but if it reads <code>Fatal Error</code> then ask for help in the Nintendo Homebrew Discord
#* <code>Fatal Error: NVRAM is inaccessible</code>: Ask for help in the Nintendo Homebrew Discord to receive a custom version of Luma that bypasses NVRAM
#** Even with this custom version, you cannot use Wi-Fi or play DS games on your console with this error - fixing it entirely requires a hardware replacement
#* If any <code>Warning</code>, <code>Critical</code>, or <code>Fatal Error</code> that is not in the above set and does not include "Accept the following prompt to fix it automatically" appears, ask for help in the Nintendo Homebrew Discord and provide the full output of ctrcheck
# If your NVRAM was not identified as an issue, reboot and then attempt to open something that uses DS mode
#* If this still crashes, continue to Section IV
#* If this still crashes, continue to Section IV

This will not be an issue if your DS mode does not brick a second time, but if it does, then [[3DS:TWLFix|a regular TWLFix]] and the methods in Part I/Part II will always fail - only this variant will work.}}
