The file <code>boot.firm</code> is what is launched by boot9strap itself after it finishes loading off of NAND. In this case, we are using Luma3DS by LumaTeam to patch the ~~device~~, allowing it to run homebrew software.

The file <code>boot.firm</code> is what is launched by boot9strap itself after it finishes loading off of NAND. In this case, we are using Luma3DS by LumaTeam to patch the console, allowing it to run homebrew software.

This guide will have you make critical system file backups and install the following homebrew programs:

*[[3DS:Anemone3DS|Anemone3DS]] ''(installs custom themes)''

*[[Checkpoint]] ''(backs up and restores save files for 3DS and DS games)''

*[[3DS:Universal-Updater|Universal-Updater]] ''(a homebrew app store for downloading homebrew from the 3DS over Wi-Fi)''

===Section II - Updating the System===

In this section, you will update your system to the latest version, which is safe to do with custom firmware.

#Update your ~~device~~ by going to System Settings, then “Other Settings”, then going all the way to the right and using “System Update”

#Update your console by going to System Settings, then “Other Settings”, then going all the way to the right and using “System Update”

#*Updates while using B9S + Luma (what you have) are safe

#*You may get a message saying “Your system is up to date” instead of updating. This is normal if you are already up to date; continue with the next section
