3DS:Alternate Exploits/Homebrew Launcher (steelhax)

Required Reading

Steelhax is a savegame exploit for Steel Diver: Sub Wars. It is compatible with versions 1.0.0 through 11.15.0 on EUR, USA, or JPN region devices.

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 with universal-otherapp to run SafeB9SInstaller.

If you already have Steel Diver: Sub Wars, this process will overwrite your game's save file!
