User guide
How to use
You need python3 installed and Windows.
Attempt to unlock your parental controls from your 3DS's System Settings until it gives you an "Inquiry Number" (chose "I forgot" twice).
Next, read the rem comments in the "mkey.bat" script in a text editor for the remaining instructions, then run the same .bat script.
Your masterkey should be generated, which you can use to unlock your 3DS in System Settings. Note: A windows exe is also provided in the release tab. You simply launch it and follow directions.
