My experience with 3DS Hacking

So I got a 2DS a few days ago and I wanted to hack it. Now, as a person not knowing anything about 3DS hacking and only reading other people's experience with it. I was kinda scared. People saying they bricked it and it gets bricked alot made me nervous. I was on 6.0 firmware so I used the Decrypt9 into arm9 luma guide (I don't know all the terminology, the Wii U is where i'm experince so forgive me if I say stuff wrong) and just to say the least, It was super easy. At Least easier than people made it out to be. The hardest part was having to restore from my NAND backup and update. It was a smooth process from there. It's hard to believe people pay for a 3DS with CFW on it, but hey it's their decision. I already have a custom theme (below), some games off of Freeshop, and emulators. I want to do much more with it but I don't know where to start. There is so much. If anybody knows where a 3DS Homebrew index is that would be great.

That JoJo theme is awesome *_* Where did you get it? :O

Also, good thing everything went well with your 2DS . Hope you do more with it :)!
 
One thing I've noticed is that n3ds owners tend to complain more during the otp process. I think this is just because the nand is 2x the size; and so all the dumps and writes take longer.

When I first downgraded my 2ds, few people had done it - so I didn't know about the weird screen effects in FWs that don't support 2ds. I think a big reason people say it's a pain is that the process was a bit more tedious in the past. Now of course it's more streamlined.

The process used to be much larger. Where you did the CTR transfer, people used to format their SD card twice (making and killing RedNand) , make 2-3 nand backups, and create a copy of your nand within an SD card partition.
You just happened to enter the scene when everything was streamlined. Back in January, it was complex brickfest
