Cool concept, Eli!

There's a difference between selling at a loss and simply being profitable.

No, he's not sure about that. Nintendo refuses to sell at a loss, and the 3DS is no exception.

It's not too terribly difficult. The actual application is rather simple to write, you just need to interface with the hardware properly. The best case scenario, you get the correct hardware to sniff NiFi packets, you write a well-threaded application to interpret this data and package it nicely for transfer over the internet, then on the other end quickly unpackage it back into the form that the receiving DS is expecting. After all of that fun stuff, you interface with your hardware once more and transmit the packets to the receiving DS. If you've written your program well enough and you and your partner aren't on separate continents, perhaps the delay will be small enough that the DS still accepts it. As we all know, best case scenario doesn't exist, so when the delay is rejected, you'll have to look into editing timestamps. Editing the timestamps won't be possible in the case of the 3DS (yet), but even so, this might be an interesting DS project (since it apparently hasn't been done before?). Best of luck!

P.S. Just as an added bit of fun, if you were to look into the project for the DS (where full debuggers are readily available), you could simply modify the timestamp check on the DS itself, rather than bother with altering each and every packet. There may be a bit of noticeable lag, but it could still be possible.

Best Zelda, hands down. Good luck in your project! I'd love to see some screens.
