There is a potential that we may throw a b9sTool-based guide path in the future which doesn't make use of either of these. Still download USM as we need that otherapp.)

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.

OOjs UI icon information-warning.svg 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.

    • You can scan this QR code using the Nintendo 3DS Camera for a direct link to the eShop app
