May I ask if you have already a R4 flashcard with timebomb?
If you do, you can install the YS Menu and still use yours.
No, I do not own 3DS flashcard.
Oh, thanks for the heads up. Was not aware of this.Don't want to be "that guy"... but R4 cards are DS flashcarts - while they work in a 3DS, they'll only run DS games and not 3DS games.
If you specifically want to run 3DS games, the best option is to ignore flashcarts and install custom firmware

Let us know if you have any questions.
Update your console to the latest version (11.14) and then try with this method better:I tried following the guide but I'm stuck at this:
Section III - Launching SafeB9SInstaller
When clicking the button on the NBHAX page, the console crashes and I get a black screen with "An error has occurred". Followed every step before that, formated the SD card properly, verified the card, copied the files to the card. Inserted the card, booted the 3DS, changed internet DNS settings. Tried troubleshooting by clearing browser settings. Console OS ver 11.13.0-45E
Update your console to the latest version (11.14).
There is custom firmware. It's free. And not overpriced like sky3ds or stargate.Just buy a Stargate 3ds!!
Tried it for like the fifth time and now it boots into Lum3DS.Well that didn’t work. Updated to 11.14-046E and the browser hack is stuck on a green screen. So what now?
The 3DS is a new 3DS XL btw.
On the subject of DS games, I seem to remember reading on GBAtemp that there exists a method to completely bypass the need for a flashcard, and run the DS games with a certain homebrew? Could someone knowledgeable elaborate on this, or point to a guide? I have a flashcard, but I'm curious about this new option.
