Great changes, most things LGTM! See comments for a few stylistic changes (in particular, please don't change section names).
| **Custom firmware** (CFW) is a full software modification to your 3DS, comparable to "administrator access" on a computer. It allows you to do anything that the 3DS is physically capable of doing, rather than being limited by whatever Nintendo allows you to do. | ||

I don't think this really makes much sense as a header/h3?

Would h4 be better? Or maybe just bold text?

Yeah, bold text would probably work better

Bolding isn't strictly necessary here

I think it looks better that way. Or maybe it could be a level 3 or 4 header.

It would work well in parallel with the popular uses thing being bolded, yeah
| + **A black screen that says "An error has occurred"**: Your file placement is incorrect. Ensure that the Super-skaterhax files are on the root of the SD card. | ||
| + **A yellow screen**: Homebrew Launcher failed to open due to random chance. Hold the POWER button until the console turns off, then retry this section. | ||
| + **[The word "Text"](/images/screenshots/skaterhax/skater-old3ds.png)**: You have an Old 3DS, where this exploit **does not work**. If this is the case, you should follow [MSET9](installing-boot9strap-(mset9)) instead. | ||
| 1. Launch _nimdsphax_ from the list of homebrew |

I'm not really against this change but italics are not generally used for exploit names or anything elsewhere

Would bold or code be better? Or maybe it could be in quotation marks.

I don't think any styling is really necessary, we don't really use it for anything else I don't think (like we don't do anything with "MSET9" for example). If we do though then codeblocks are probably the most appropriate

We don't normally put these kinds of comments in the guide, no?
Also, I guess we just don't want to explain to people how to find their timezone offset, so we just let GodMode9 handle setting the time.

| In this section, you will launch Soundhax through the Nintendo 3DS Sound app, which will use universal-otherapp to launch the boot9strap (custom firmware) installer. | ||

What's the point of removing this?

boot9strap isn't CFW. Luma3DS is CFW. B9S is a bootloader.

boot9strap is still a custom bootloader that loads custom firmware (Luma3DS). That still makes boot9strap custom firmware. You're still installing CFW through SafeB9SInstaller by installing boot9strap. Even removing CFW would mean uninstalling boot9strap, so I don’t see much point in the edit.

If we're gonna change "Nintendo Homebrew on Discord", we should do it throughout the whole guide
