Required Reading

freakyhax is an exploit for the game Freakyforms Deluxe discovered and released by plutooo allowing us to launch the Homebrew Launcher on versions 9.0.0 through 11.16.0 on EUR, USA, or JPN region devices.

In the instructions, we only cover launching the exploit on version 11.7.0-11.16.0. If you want to use an older version, you can use the otherapp payload from smea's page. Select your version, model and region on the page and use it like one from unSAFE_MODEs .zip's otherapps_with_CfgS. If you don't understand this, read the instructions first.
