All of your original games and saves will be kept intact if you follow the steps properly. | |||
Before starting this guide, please ensure the following two things: | |||
# You have chosen the correct model type (New vs. Old) and system version in the MSET9 setup. | |||
Before | #* New models have four shoulder buttons ({{B|L|ZL|ZR|R}} and the C-Stick directly above the Y button - old models have two shoulder buttons ({{B|L|R}}) and no C-Stick. | ||
# You injected MSET9 in Section II Step 10, not any earlier. | |||
#* If System Settings is stuck because you injected too early (such as in Section II Step 5), just follow the instructions for removing MSET9 and then restart from the beginning of Section II. You do not have to swap out or reformat your SD card in this case. | |||
