It comes in the form of a custom boot.firm (injects hooks from loader, uses a Rosalina thread to save updates to file)
Some new features to this coin uncap mod:
Keeps a 'tracked coins' count, basically "what youd have if you didnt cheat coins" while still technically allowing coin setting alongside it
Also keeps track of 'lifetime earned' coins which, like tracked coins, will only increase from walking. This one will be used for unlocking milestone achievements (appearing in the form of notifications - further ideas welcome)
Reaching the new max of 30,000 coins displays a special text instead (many characters are unsupported by the font so its quite lucky I got away with these ones)
I chose 30,000 because 1) its an extension of the original 300 but with extra zeroes, 2) it feels like a reasonable reachable new amount, I even saw someone's Reddit post showing theyd walked 3 million steps in just one year with their 3DS. I myself want to aim for it.
6 digits however is unsupported, going above 5 appears like this
Getting it uncapped and functional was the main goal but I also want to encourage walking and earning them fairly which is the purpose of these additions (ignoring them and setting what you want is still an option), make something fun with these coins in the modern day. So I'm leaning towards making it a shared experience for people who use this, but I can also see that people may want to turn off the 10-a-day uncap or increase the steps->coins conversion
something i may consider for balancing is that after the 10th coin, every next coin takes (last steps requirement + 3), so 11th coin takes 103 steps, 100th coin takes 370 steps, making 100 coins in a day take 22285 steps rather than 10000
Which would mean reaching max coins, at 10k steps a day, takes over 540 days rather than 300 days.
I'm just throwing out ideas though. Let me know if anyone has any thoughts

Considering steps and coins interchange with each other, and steps goes to 5 digits quite easily, i doubt this is an issue.
