Yes, with CFW you can use FreeShop to get any game easily, and use https://3ds.guide/ to install CFW and you're done!

I know the guide lol,, I have read that guide like at least 20 times,, so I KNOW EVERY lil bit, or at least what I am doing,, and why I am doing it.,, what it does. (except the stupid stuff like reboot and hold a etc. like im going to remember all that lol),, I have already downloaded all the files I need for the tutorial also, but you know what im saying though lol that tutorial at the top,, basically I can find 3ds usa .3dsx files, and play them NOW w/out installing cfw, and I can play emulators,, and apparently it looks like I can just get the usa eshop games, w/out needing freeshop lol.

You need a 3ds flashcart to play 3ds roms, and they cost >$80. You cannot play 3ds roms without a flashcart or cfw. Get cfw.

damn it lol, I figured as much, by other things I have read,, but that tutorial up there made it seem like I didn't need cfw.. oh well. and a flashcart that makes the 3ds think it's a game would be cool, but yeah,, they are breaking the bank I don't have lol. well could I play the eshop .3dsx games though?? I just wanna try sonic in 3d lol, and

yes I have plans to go to the local coffee shop, by a coffee, plug in, connect w/ their free wifi, and install cfw on my 3ds.

No. 3dsx files are not 3ds games. They are strictly homebrew. Get cfw at 3ds.guide. It costs nothing, and it WILL allow you to play eshop games, cartridge games, etc.

Also the 3ds can't connect to wifi networks that require sign in, such as coffee shops.
