So I'm looking to get Homebrew on my 3DS for a simple yet

>>27316753
For a fully updated 3DS I believe the optimal choice is either CN or OOT3D (you'll need a second 3DS)
As for your request, it'll still be pretty tedious to reinject all your mons with different OTs but it can be done with no problem.
Managing your own name, however, may present a challenge. The 3DS hardware itself cannot edit a save file to that extent as far as I've researched, so you would need a save-altering device, such as a Powersave, to do the trick. The Powersave will probably let you edit your OTs as well so if you're not interested in pirating you may want to look that way instead of jailbreaking.

I'll need a second 3DS to do Homebrew? Or just for the OOT route?
I've never done this before or know how it works, surely it can't be more tedious than hatching a legit competitive Dex?

Hmm, while time is important to me, safety is king. I don't want to lose all of my time invested.

Not the same anon, but you won't need a second 3DS for either. I've homebrewed my 3DS on the most recent firmware using OoT, powersaves, and an SD card reader. I'll post a guide for it I wrote in just a second (it's too big to fit in this post)

What you'll need to buy in advance:
>Powersaves, about $25 https://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-Powersaves-Cheat-Device-Nintendo/dp/B00CQ9L1Z6
>An SD card reader, about $10. You can pick one up in the electronics section of most Walmarts or any electronics store. Multi-card readers with a slot for SD cards also work
>A physical cartridge of OoT3D, about $20 on ebay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_BIN=1&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_sop=15&_nkw=oot+3d&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc (Scroll down to the middle of the page)

If you have all that, follow this guide (it still works as of mid-July on 11.0.0-33u firmware): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dLgq1bmo3Q&t=2m6s

The video is 15 minutes long but you'll only be following its instructions for 10 minutes, and it's extremely easy to follow along with. The only part where there could be some confusion is 6 and a half minutes in. He says "I'll use this folder" a few times while there are multiple folders to choose from, but his facecam hides which folders he's choosing so you can't see them. At this part of the video, I chose saveimages_powersaves > cardids_c2fe009000000000 > usa, and since this guide worked for me on the first try, I recommend that you use that series of folders too (unless you live in Europe, in which case you would use the "eur" folder for the last one, obviously).

Download links you'll use while following this guide (feel free to download them in advance):
1: https://smealum.github.io/ninjhax2/starter.zip Even though it says ninjhax in the URL, it works for OoThax and most others.
2: https://github.com/yellows8/oot3dhax/releases/download/06-26-16/oot3dhax_rawsaveimages_haxpayloads_06-26-16.zip
3: http://smealum.github.io/3ds/#prepare Scroll down to Otherapp/ropbin payloads, input your 3DS type and firmware type (for most people, that will probably be OLD or NEW 11.0.0-33U), then click Download ropbin.

They have everything you need.

STOP
don't listen to these retards
ninjihax is so fucking old it hurts and you don't need OOT and all this shit unless you just HAVE TO, oot and physical entry points are last resource kind of thing with hard modding.

You now do luma with a9lh which basically works exactly like a legit 3DS but with EVERYTHING unlocked and available, you an even download everything legit from the eshop FOR FREE, and with following the guide you will end up with most things you need AND after doing it, your 3DS is basically untouchable, it can't permanently brick.
Depending on your 3DS model, version and what not you will need several things.
The older usually the better.
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

This guide covers everything and while it's a bit long it's easy, just gotta follow it, you're free to tell me your 3DS model and current firmware on it (the one that shows up on system settings) or you can pop in /hbg/ on /vg/.
Everything and everyone that can help you is there, you need to inform yourself and to not rush this, it's your 3DS at stake.

Thanks, friends.

He's probably a retard who updated.

>you don't need OOT and all this shit
The same way you don't need luma with a9lh. Do you have a point?

>while it's a bit long
>a bit
The last time someone asked /hbg/ how long it took everyone to follow that guide, the shortest answer was 3 hours and the longest was 6 hours. >>27317495 takes 10 minutes, and that's not including all the shit that can go wrong with either guide. Say the user following either guide has a 5% margin of error. In the first guide, that would round to 0% time loss since there are so few steps that no mistakes would ever be made. Meanwhile, it's very likely that the user, like so many I've seen in /hbg/ who flood the general with questions about "hi I'm on part 24 of the guide and need help" will fuck up with luma, and a single mistake can cost hours, days, or even having to give up on the guide entirely due to no one answering or telling them to fuck off with the same elitist attitude you have. Furthermore,

>You MUST downgrade with the correct pack for your console/region or you will BRICK.

Just to name one of several places where you can brick your 3DS while following the 3-6 hour long process (if you do it all successfully with no unexpected errors due to some software updating and becoming incompatible with other software used in the guides, vague/ambiguous wording in the guide leading to steps being followed incorrectly, etc, etc.) of using luma. Meanwhile, in the 10 minute guide, you can't brick at all. The only reason not to use the 10 minute guide is if you're a pathetic NEET who lives off his parents and has no money to spend

>>27318500
* And you missed his point about only needing Homebrew, not all that other shit. So he can install homebrew in 10 minutes, or homebrew in 3-6 hours if he's lucky, but realistically more like several days

Wow, thank you for that clarification. I will stick to using the first intended method. Would OOT be better or Cube Ninja?
Definitely want the easier and safe method, only using it for this one instance and probably donate the game afterwards.
