Hello everyone! This is my first post and I couldn't find anything like it through searches, so forgive me if this has already been asked before.
Recently, I was able to acquire a Nintendo 3DS from a friend and was considering using it for emulation and homebrew. However, I continue to see advice strongly recommending using the New 3DS for emulation and the like. So my question is, do you have any insights or firsthand experiences with the differences in emulation/homebrew/custom firmware/support/etc. between the two consoles? What would you personally recommend?
In my case, I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I was thinking maybe I should get a New 3DS if its performance is really night and day. However, money is tight, and I'm not sure if it's wise to buy something new when I already have an old 3DS.
