Hacking Stuck at a step trying to mod 3DS

[lukands]

Following the 3dsguide, I`ve got to

Finalizing Setup

Section VI - CTRNAND Luma3DS

1. Launch GodMode9 by holding (Start) during boot

How do I launch GodMode9? Where is it???

Press start and turn your console on, while keeping start held.

Earlier on you copy GodMode9.firm to sd:/luma/payloads/. Now, with Luma, when you hold Start as your 3DS is booting (press and hold start while your console is off, and press the power button while holding down Start) it will bring up the Luma chainloader menu, allowing you to launch GodMode9 (or any other firm payload in the sd:/luma/payloads folder).

If you followed the guide to the letter and held start at boot it should open the chainloader and it will be an option there.

Thank you for the quick response. Me bad, I was powering on then pressing the START button.....not the other way around!
Thanks again everyone!
..........AND I continue on.

Hack complete, very decent easy to follow guide (except for the one problem, but that was I guess my fault?)

Can anyone tell me what I can delete off the SD card, that doesn`t need to be there?

In "Finalizing Setup", it gets you to run a script called "cleanup_sd_card.gm9" through GodMode9. Just run this, and it will get rid of anything you don't need to keep. That's all you need to do.
