new XL if you value screen size and battery, reg new 3ds if not. There's also faceplates for the regular.
The old3ds (including 2ds) varieties have non-tracking 3d and much weaker cpu, not recommended.

It's possible to downgrade with anything but the latest firmware (11.0) for free games. 10.5 or less and it should be completely free (not having to buy games/accesories to trigger downgrading hax). The 3ds scene has flashcards and free cfw that boots games from the sd card, unlike the DS.

How does that work with free games?

Is it easy to install the free games/homebrew because the psvita is a shitfull steps to install free games
I think it's easier than the Vita's PSP hacking but it's definitely more involved than the DS scene.
It's about the same difficulty as Wii hacking.

There's an optional cfw called "a9lh" that is about (no kidding) 100 steps and takes all afternoon but it's really awesome. It's basically perm CFW (harkening back to the PSP scene). Lite CFW isn't that difficult to install, but downgrading to the magical 9.2 firmware comes with some risk. A flashcard company called Gateway plans to release a free downgrading tool this week that may make the process easier and safer.

Run cfw that patches sig checks. Install game archives known as CIAs to the sd card. Play them with cfw.

Start here and go thru at least part 3
https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Part-1-(Homebrew)
You get yourself the desired model (I personally recommend the N3DS [not XL] because in my opinion the XL version feels like you can count pixels.)
Then you just start follow the Guide by Plailect.

You can stop after step 3 to become a ...
Or go the full way to join the...
