< 3DS:Alternate Exploits
Revision as of 08:05, 1 September 2022 by Lily (talk | contribs) (remove save file warning (does it actually apply?))
Required Reading
This method uses a flaw in the games Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire, achieved by editing the save file for the game, to launch the Homebrew Launcher.
This method requires access to the Homebrew Launcher on one console. You can then use the cartridge in another console to launch the exploit.
