Here you will find detailed instructions on how to get themes to use with Theme Selector. Due to extensive size the mod may obtain, I'll always recommend the usage of an Wi-Fi adapter and USB/SD host.

Keep in mind to use the online features of this mod, you'll need to have Hakchi Wi-Fi mod (WPA Supplicant) installed.

1. Press L+R (DOWN+B NESCEC ) to open Option Menu and navigate to Themes.

first usage

If you don't have, already any themes on your NAND or USB, it should only show 2 themes. at this point if you select a theme it will be your default theme for the entire system.

Note: Theme Selector will remove the theme matching your region, keeping only the other two original themes, in my case removed the european theme, since i have an european console.
