3DS:Alternate Exploits/Homebrew Launcher (PicHaxx): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:48, 31 August 2022

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.

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.

- Your SD card must be inserted in your device to install Pokémon Picross
