If you are stuck in the screen flashing part for more than 30 seconds the installation has failed and you will need to turn off your system and try again. We will then be greeted by the homebrew launcher menu, with several pieces of software already installed for us to play with. If we have set everything up correctly, we'll see the bottom screen flash several different colors and eventually the top screen will turn black with some white text appearing momentarily. Navigate to the 3DS web browser, which can be found at the top of the bottom screen when in the main menu, and either type in this url ( ) or you can use the 3DS's camera, which can be activated by pressing both the L and R buttons while in the main menu, to scan this qr code which will automatically direct you to the webpage.

However, starting with version 9.9 the firmware will check if the system is up to date, and if not, refuse to allow you to use the browser. Currently in order to use Browserhax your firmware must be lower than 10.3.0-28. The firmware version of your 3DS can easily be determined by selecting the System Settings icon and checking the bottom-right corner of the top screen. Firmware is updated as time goes on just like any major product, with higher numbers being newer versions. The firmware is the operating system that the 3DS runs on.
