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!
