What was your first flashcard/hardware mod on a console? How did you discover them?

[Noctosphere]

Personally
I was at the hospital and some guy near my chamber played on his dsi with a TTDS
thats how I got aware about flashcard
my first flashcart was ttds ofc because i didnt know any other
not long after, I found and joined gbatemp

The oh-so majestic r4i gold rts. Got it from the also majestic 3ds.guide. I came onto the gaming scene quite late, and I was googling a lot trying to see if there was any way I could pirate 3ds gamez.

Newer game roms I guess. Didn't really care about older non-3ds games at the time (plus I had a few emulators on my laptop).

First flashcard was my DSTwo+
I first time with a flashcart was during school, my class used to do this video game station thing, and someone brought in a flashcart, I don't remember which one it was though. A few years later, I had a suggested video appear on YouTube about flashcart. I actually found GBATemp while I was setting it up, but I never signed up until February

Modchip in a Playstation. The huge stack of scratched burned games was fun.

Indeed, I was aware of Citra and even tried it out. But it always lagged horribly for Pokémon SM and the lack of online play bothered me. After finding out about free gamez on a real 3ds I finally got one.

and i guess you switched to LUMA since then?

I remember when I got my first 3ds flashcart, it was a Gateway-3ds for 9.2
I had to open the web browser everytime I wanted to play a game
but at least, it was faster than sky3ds if i wanted to play the 5th game on the list

Yup.

I never had a 3ds flashcard, I just went straight to luma
