:Di know currently there are none but has anyone talked about releasing something for the old 2ds/3ds that allows CFW?
I don't mind waiting, just asking. Thank you.

Do you mean like a free kernel exploit? The answer is yes, but they are holding off on them until Nintendo officially stops supporting the 3DS.
You should just buy a flashcart and use NTRBoot to install B9S. Not only do you get a method that can never be blocked by OFW updates, but you also gain the ability to play DS games.

Awesome, I would but as said before, out of budget for the time being.
The R4 is only for installation. After that it just cold boots.
Thank you very much :)


Thanks for the replies guys!

only need a flashcart if your 3ds is over 11.3
Thanks. That's what I thought. :)
You could also buy a 2DS or 3DS on a low enough firmware to install CFW free, do DSiWarehax and resell it when done. You could easily make a profit doing this.
Smart idea, that would be cool.
I have a lot of time invested into my main 2ds tbh.
And about 350$ Of games.
Somewhat new to homebrew.

Sell your games, or at least the ones where the save is stored on your SD. Use that money to buy a second-hand 2DS, they only cost as much as about three games anyway. You can sell the 2DS afterward, and once you have backed up and installed all the games you own, you can sell the rest of your games too. More money for rent and food! Win-win.

If you don't have enough money left over after paying bills and buying food.... then you can't afford it.
Exactly.
A lot of people on this site are condescending birds huh?
It's Reddit all over again.

With a flashcart he can't resell it and get more money than he spent (which he can with a 2DS/3DS).
Edit: that reminded me of something important. If you go the route I suggested do things in this order:
  1. Install CFW on the 2DS/3DS you bought
  2. Transfer from your current console to the CFW one
  3. Then follow the DSiWarehax guide (you'll have to wait seven days because of the previous transfer)
Step 2 is so you don't lose any data from your current console.

Thank you for the help. I don't think I will sell my DS though, if I get rid of it I will probably give it to one of my siblings, are the Flashcarts worth it and if so which ones are "best"?

I think you completely missed the point of my post...
Probably.
