# Finalizing Setup

With your SD Card back in your 3DS, power it back on. Go into System Settings, and then Nintendo Network ID Settings. You should now be here.

Press through the prompts until you get to here:

![Link or create a new ID](/assets/img/guide/haveid.png)

::: details If you already have a Samtendo Network ID

Choose `Link an Existing ID`, `Next`, `I Understand`, then fill out your information.

:::

Otherwise, choose `Create a New ID`, `Next`, `I Understand`, `View the Nintendo Network Agreement and Privacy Policy`, `I Accept`, `I Accept` again, then fill out your information.

Once your Samtendo Network ID has been linked, **congrats! You're now ready to start playing on Samtendo Network!**

## What next?

# Getting started with Samtendo Network on 3DS

Before starting this guide, we need to check if custom firmware (CFW) is already installed on your console, alongside other potentially conflicting applications.

### Section I - CFW Check

1. Power off your 3DS
1. Ensure the SD Card is inserted into your console
1. While holding SELECT, press POWER.
1. You should see the Luma3DS menu.

::: warning

If you do not see the Luma3DS menu or you see another CFW's menu, **STOP** - you do not have Luma3DS installed. Continue from [here](https://3ds.hacks.guide) and return once you have finished.

:::

::: warning

If your Luma3DS version is not the latest (v13.4), you should update it now to prevent any issues. Do so [here](https://3ds.hacks.guide/checking-for-cfw.html#what-to-do-next).

:::

### Section II - Version Check

1. Launch System Settings
1. Look at the top screen. In the bottom right, you will see your console's version (e.g. Sys 11.17.0-50E).

Your console's version should be **11.17.0-50X**, with X being either C, E, J, K, T or U depending on your region. If not, you should update your console before continuing.

If all is good, you're ready to continue!

# SD Preparation

Power off your 3DS and remove the SD Card. Insert it into your computer, phone or other device that can read SD Cards.

## Conflicting files

::: warning

While there are safety measures in place to prevent any conflicts, we can never 100% guarantee that other services will prevent them. We recommend only having Cirrus (Samtendo Network's switcher) installed at the same time. You are responsible for any conflicts.

:::

## Installation

### Using Universal-Updater

Open Universal-Updater, open the search menu, search for Cirrus and choose CIA or 3DSX. You do not need to do anything else, as Universal-Updater does it for you.

### Manually

Download **one** of the ZIPs [from here](https://github.com/SamtendoNetwork/cirrus/releases/latest), then follow the respective instructions.

- 3dsx.zip
- cia.zip
- combined.zip

#### CIA

Extract the ZIP. Place the `cirrus.cia` file in `SD:/cias/` (if that folder doesn't exist, create it). Open the `3ds` folder. Place the `cirrus` folder in `SD:/3ds/` too.

Put your SD card back into your console, turn it on and open FBI. Choose `SD`, then `cias`, `cirrus.cia` and finally `Install and delete CIA`.

#### 3DSX

Extract the ZIP. Place the `cirrus.3dsx` file in `SD:/3ds/`. Open the `3ds` folder. Place the `cirrus` folder in `SD:/3ds/` too.

#### Combined

Combine the instructions for CIA and 3DSX.

Once you're done, move on to **Finalising Setup**.

::: danger

Before beginning the guide, you must know the risks of Wii U hacking: **EVERY** time you modify your system, there is always the potential for an **UNRECOVERABLE** brick. Bricks are rare but still a possibility... so make sure you follow **ALL** directions **EXACTLY!**
By modding your console, you subject it to the remote (but non-zero) possibility of the console being bricked (rendered non-functional). Incorrect file placement will NOT brick your console, but purposely skipping instructions might.

**In short:** Modding your console is safe, but it's your responsibility if something goes wrong.

This guide will work on all 3DS and Wii U consoles in all regions on the latest firmware.

You will need the following in order to successfully follow this guide:
- An SD Card.
- A device such as a computer to place files onto the SD Card.
- A Wii U that uses the latest version of Aroma (and has internet access)
- A Wii U that uses the latest version of Aroma (and has internet access) ***OR*** a 3DS that uses the latest version of Luma3DS

A 32GB SD Card will be enough for most use-cases. A Micro SD Card in an adapter will work fine.
