Required Reading

This method of using Seedminer for further exploitation uses your movable.sed file to write a custom save file for Pokémon Picross, which can then be used with unSAFE_MODE to run SafeB9SInstaller.

Warning icon This process will overwrite your Pokémon Picross save file, if you have one. If you wish to preserve your Pokémon Picross game data, you should make a backup of your 00000001.sav file before overwriting it.

What You Need

  • The game "Pokémon Picross" (free on eShop) installed on your device
    • You can scan this QR code using the Nintendo 3DS Camera for a direct link to the eShop app
    • Your SD card must be inserted in your device to install Pokémon Picross
  • Your movable.sed file from completing Seedminer
  • The latest release of Luma3DS (the Luma3DS .zip file)
  • The latest release of unSAFE_MODE
