I haven't hacked my 3ds or updated yet. If I do hack, will

>>28512110
Yeah, unless there's a loophole I'm not aware of. If so please correct me because I hate not being able to go online

>>28512110
I thought you could do whatever want. Once you install the game, it's basically like you bought it

>>28512140
Fuck...

>>28512110
If you hack it fully there are no drawbacks. You can update without the CFW being removed so online is no issue.

>>28512110
Not if you follow the full guide. I don't know what >>28512140 is talking about unless he did an earlier one.

You can literally download free games off of Nintendo's servers when you're done.

So all those injectfags can't play online? What would they inject for then?

>>28512140
How about I inject you a pokemon? Thats not hacking right?

There are essentially two levels of "hacking your 3DS", running homebrew (through homebrew launcher) and running custom firmware.

Running stuff through homebrew launcher is the weaker option as it relies on exploits that are usually patched via system firmware updates, which means that you have to force yourself to never update and therefore leaves you unable to go online. What you can do via this metod is limited as well, you can manipulate save data or run out-of-region (physical) games but you can't pirate stuff.

Custom firmware (CFW) lets you do ANYTHING you want, including pirating, going online, fucking around with system files like a 1337 hax0r and everything you could do with the homebrew launcher. If installed properly there is next to nothing Nintendo can do about it. HOWEVER, in order to install CFW you need to be on a vulnerable system firmware version (below 11.0 if I remember correctly, there's a workaround on >11.0 versions but requires an already hacked 3DS). If you want to know if you can/how to install CFW, go to https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki

Uh, sweet. Yeah I'm not really good with these things, I hacked my 3DS a while ago. Could someone link me to a guide for a more recent version?

>>28512377
Yeah I have homebrew, that's why I couldn't update. Like a said, not very good. Thanks for the link though

>>28512387
See
>>28512377

It's not as hard as it looks. The hardest things are gathering your materials (You'll probably want a big SD card and you'll need a homebrew entry point, I had to buy cubic ninja for example) and the new vocabulary.

As long as if you follow the instructions and know how to move things from one folder to another you'll be good.
