A Noob's Guide to Installing CFW on a 11.6 System Through the DSiWareHax Method After They Somehow Managed To Screw the System Transfer Up™
Hello. You may be reading this guide over the fact that Nintendo removed the option to easily transfer DSiWare from a system on 11.6 (Still being researched) or you may have screwed up and did a Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer instead, and be thinking to yourself, "HOLY S***! I JUST DID THE WRONG TYPE OF TRANSFER AND NOW HAVE TO PAY THOSE FLASH CART W***** A LOT OF MY F****** MONEY!!!". If that is you, calm down and seek help. Next, just follow this guide and it will show you how to fix your mistake and will also detail the steps needed for this CFW installation in the quickest manner possible. Let's get to it!
NOTE: Do NOT follow this guide yet! It is incomplete and does NOT detail every step as it should! I will be sure to have it finished within a week! For now, just wait if you messed up and came here to fix your screwup (No, not your life jk)!

Welcome to Chapter 1 of this lovely guide. To start, I will go over a list of actions we will be completing in this chapter as well as going over the prerequisites for this guide.
- A system of the Nintendo 3DS Family that already has a CFW such as Luma3DS, etc. installed and being run by ARM9LoaderHax or Boot9Strap
- A system of the Nintendo 3DS Family that you will be installing CFW on with Boot9Strap
- A piece of DSiWare from the eShop that is detailed on this list
- A microSD Card and a microSD to SD Adapter (Most likely came with your microSD Card) NOTE: You only need the adapter if you are transfering from an Old 3DS
- Both systems on 3DS Firmware 11.6
By completing this chapter, you will:
- Learn the steps needed in order to install CFW on your 11.6 system
- Obtain the DSiWare needed to install CFW on your 11.6 system
Now that you have obtained everything in the prerequisites list of this chapter, you may be wondering why I had you pick a game from that list rather than using any old DSiWare game. To be honest, I don't know myself. I am just writing a bit of a modified version of the guide over at the 3DS Softmodding Guide Provided by Plailect™. The reason I am rewriting it is due to the fact that it is a little on the less efficient side right now. It uses the SD or full transfer method when doing the system transfer (I will go over those a little more in-depth when we get to that section). This guide will have you use the Low-Capacity microSD Card Transfer method to save a bit of time. Now that you have your explanation, let's wrap up Chapter 1.[/spolier]
Now that you know what we're doing as far as the transfer, let's get into the piece of DSiWare you bought. The thing is, you can't use just any piece of DSiWare, as previously mentioned. If you bought a piece of DSiWare from the list in the prerequisites section of Chapter 1, you should be good to go. The only piece of DSiWare that I have personally tested is the game called Zoo Frenzy. I bought it when I was younger and transferred it from my old DSi XL. Also if you get the chance, you really should buy the game and play it. It is a REALLY good game. However, that's not what this guide is about so, let's move on to Chapter 2.
