Not with waithax. The method you linked to is only by doing a system transfer from another 3DS which already has CFW. Waithax requires one of four particular DSiWare games which have all been taken off the eShop.
Oh, I see. I was going to buy one of the games but I wasn't sure where I should buy it from. Can I downgrade my N3DS with the method I posted?

Yes, but you'll need to have a second 3DS that already has CFW installed, so that you can install dsiwarehax on it and perform a system transfer from it to your N3DS that you want to downgrade. Read the guide.

I have a 2DS with Luma. I'm thinking of installing A9lH. Just to clarify, I buy the DSI game on my CFW?

I have a European New 3DS w/ A9LH and a newly bought Japanese New 3DS XL @ ver 11.0 - System transfer won't work, since both are from different regions. Of course I didn't buy the DSiware games on the new one yet.
Looks like I will have to go the hardmod route? Or can I somehow install the DSiware games through the homebrewchannel / FBI / Freeshop? (Though for freeshop I'd need to setup Luma CFW, right?)

You would have to hardmod. You cannot install a necessary DSiWare game (and hax) on the JPN 3DS, as that would, as you said, require CFW, defeating the point of having to get a DSiWare game in the first place.

Alternatively, you could get access to yet another JPN 3DS which already has CFW to system transfer from.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
