I just got my son the New 3DS XL (Firmware version 11.6.0-39U)
I haven't looked into any of this stuff since I got an acekart for his original ds. It was simple back. Throw roms on an sd card and your good to go. Now it seems a bit more confusing. ntrboot, cia, fbi.. Not sure what all this is. I wanted to get this setup before xmas. I have 2 jobs and a newborn so I dont have days to go through everything. I know I cant just blow through it all. Some is really important, but where should I start to get the basics for now? I want to be able to play backups of 3ds and ds games. (with online)
There are so many flashcarts available. Ive seen R4i Gold 3DS RTS mentioned quite a few times and its a good price, but it only works with DS games? To me it looks like the only ones that work with 3DS are around $90 (eg SKY3DS) is this correct?
Cheapest solution is best.
ntrboot is the program that allows you to softmod your N3DS so you can install cia files
cia files are 3DS programs that can be installed through FBI
Assuming you have an Acekard 2i, you can use that for ntrboot, following 3ds.guide should help a bit
