Section III - Installing boot9strap

2. When prompted, input the key combo given on the top screen to install boot9strap
3. Once it has completed, press (A) to reboot your device

Section IV - Configuring Luma3DS

1. Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
   • If you get a black screen, [follow this troubleshooting guide](troubleshooting#black-screen-on-sysnand-boot-after-installing-boot9strap)
2. Use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:
   • "Show NAND or user string in System Settings"
3. Press (Start) to save and reboot
   • If you get an error, just continue the next page

At this point, your console will boot to Luma3DS by default as long as the SD card is inserted.

• Luma3DS does not look any different from the normal HOME menu. If your console has booted into the HOME menu, it is running custom firmware.
• On the next page, you will copy Luma3DS to internal memory so that you can boot without an SD card.
