Trying to explain to someone what to even get into the HBL then them not putting the boot.3dsx in correct place over many times in a row of explaining _._

me-Put the folder in the root of your SD card.
"Weres the root"
*30 seconds later*
Me- boot into EmuNAND and install the cia
"Whats emunand and cia"
Me- Emunand is "hack mode" and cia is "free game file"

almost every time without fail I get "Isn't that illegal" when mentioning hacking the 3ds. I then have to use some analogy of something that isn't illegal, but can be used for illegal means (i.e. a gun isn't illegal and has perfectly legal uses, but opens the opportunity to do illegal acts)

For those that are interested, @NekoMichi had written a very good illustration for explaining sysNAND and emuNAND here.
