not really. You have headers to worry about going online. You can only run nonhacked titles. And they do probably cost a fair bit.

It wasn't even that good when it was new. 3DS flashcarts suffered from a lot of issues that made them outdated when software CFWs started becoming easier and safer to install. There are actually fewer risks involved in modding your system compared to a flashcart. Removing the CFW is actually quite easy and safe compared to the risk of being banned due to header issues you risk with flashcarts.

Since its simply possible to softmod each 3DS with ntr-boot, Flashcards are outdated. U see no visual difference in the 3DS system but u got a open system that can use homebrew. The cfw can also reversed uninstalled.

i understand that there are simple ways but i also found a sky3ds+ at 20 eur and i want to try it

It normaly cost about 80-90€. And It seems to be plug and play. So its a good try. But be sure it supports latest 3DS firmware version. Then U need games in .3ds format instead cia. Be sure u have them.

i think theres a red card and a blue card for sky 3ds+. What one are they advertising?

You can use it if you want but the scene doesn't really support Sky3ds/stargate 3ds flashcart, there is just so much CFW can do that flashcart can't.

Yeah and also CFW is free and doesn't require anything but a PC

Well atleast you got it for a bargain, so that ain't a bad price.

I use to own and use a Sky3ds. This is created by the same TX members that made the SX Pro for switch. - It is a PAIN to use this, while at the time it was OK. It is no longer good. You have to use specific software to load the roms on to a micro sd. The orange button is the second generation from what I had, I owned the blue button. Now, when the card is in console, a game appears, you push the orange button forward, a different game appears, back button, previous game. The original blue button just cycled through. Remember, every game using a sky3ds has to be signed, aka, has to be the genuine rom. no home-brew apps or flexibility like you get with CFW. just spend 30 minutes and install CFW on your 3DS, its more useful, easier to install games, apps etc.

I wouldn’t do that. The are better ways to install games. And if you’re unlucky like me, in a while your sky3ds will present errors and switch off all the time

A sky3ds+ (plus, orange buttons) is still useful to just test a bunch of games without any installation, which is a pain, only partially aliviated by the custom-install thing.
When you really want to play a game, you'd better install it, certainly.
Particularly, sky3ds+ tends to corrupt savedata for certain specific games, which is quite irritating.

Thank you for the answer, that corrupt data is happening to me, it's so annoying.

For 20$ it's worth it. Although I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to mod your system since it's going to lose eshop access soon.
