I can't download them because I can't link my nintendo network. If you saw one of my other comments, It says that I can't use the keyboard either.
I have seen this about the keyboard (be assured I try my best to carefully read before posting) – but I did not know you had no NNID linked at the moment. Browsing the shop manually should have been possible without keyboard, but obviously not searching or linking the NNID required for free downlods.

Well then… this leaves ntrboot as last possibility once more.

And what will ntrboot do? How do I use it?

Guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot

The ntrboot method boots the console with a specially prepared flashcart. Nintendo made this possibly so they could flash bricked systems. Obviously they did not want anybody else to do this, so the software from the NTR (DS) cartridge has to be signed. Good for us: The signature check has a security hole (can't be patched) and custom software is possible thanks to that.

This method can reinstall CFW without relying on anything in the main operating system.

How am I going to buy the flashcard? Too expensive.

Took that link rigth from TurdPooCharger's signature. I don't think it will get any cheaper than this:

^^^^^^^^
Keep in mind that this cheap flashcart needs to be flashed manually for ntrboot. If DS games still work your semi-bricked console can do it by itself. If not you need temporary access to any other working DS system no matter what model.

========
This one is more expensive but has an internal switch for ntrboot/DS games and a better kernel (without time bomb):

forgive my ignorance but if you can't Invision buying a flashcard 20 usd maximum then how on earth were you going to get a n2dsxl ... I know it's for piracy so you want it free but sometimes that's not an option

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".

    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
