(For context i have 3 3dses: 1 O3ds hacked; 2 N3ds unhacked, one double ips, one ips-tn. my main system is the double ips)
The spotpass preservation project made me realize that you don't need a hacked 3ds to boot up firms and this got me tinkering with NTRBoot and gm9 to boot up firms on my unhacked N3ds ips-tn, i tried to install a global legit cia game with gm9 and to my surprise it works, it just can't be re-downloaded, i guess because this system doesn't have a nintendo account linked to it. If i were to do this to my main system, and then open the eshop, would the game then be linked to my account?
Just a thought but it's weird that there little to none information about "softmodding" the 3ds, even now with nimdsphax, i know NTRBoot is not something everybody has access to but nimdsphax and super-skaterhax makes it some what accessible to everybody to boot firms like luma and open-agb, only caveat being that you have to run the exploit every time, the dsi guide makes the installation of unlauch optional, i just found it weird that the 3ds guide never mentions boot9strap being optional (yes i know it's for convenience and since i've done 90% of the work just install b9s but it's fun to keep the system stock and still run homebrew)
