In this case, we are using Luma3DS by [LumaTeam](https://github.com/LumaTeam/) as our `boot.firm` to patch the console, allowing it to run homebrew software.
 
 On this page, we will make critical system file backups and install some homebrew programs. Most of these steps will be automated using a script that you will run on your console.
