ROM Hack What can I do with an old 3ds version 7.2?

[richardparker]

I have an old 3ds xl that has version 7.2.What all can i do with it,like homebrew,hacking etc.?I want to add Pokemon Shuffle and Pokemon Rumble World to it too,so what all would i have to do? I heard that you can unlock the full potential of an old 3ds that is very outdated.The 3ds asks for a system update every time i visit the eshop so i cant get shuffle or Rumble world either. Please help...?

Install Rxtools using ths: http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-installing-rxtools-custom-firmware-3ds-and-2ds.390867/

It can allow you to install games downloaded from the internet, homebrews, save editing and ram patching

what kind of games can i download? installing rxtools must be worth it cuz the process looks too complicated.

1.No, you only need the browser exploit to launch the gateway menu
2. Yes, make sure you update emunand not sysnand
