I've got this special edition and I don't want to risk anything

It's extremely safe these days, the guide is written in such a way that there is no possible way you could brick by following it. And if you still somehow through user error manage to brick it, there's always ntrboot which you can use to unbrick any software brick.
I've never had a problem with bricking from installing CFW, not on any of my 4 3DS systems (one that was on 4.3 and is now sold since i no longer needed it when support for 9.x firmwares was introduced), all of them have been hacked with various iterations of available hacks. The brick risk when following 3ds.hacks.guide has always been small, but when less safe methods were used it did happen occasionally that someone would brick (likely because they didn't follow the steps correctly), these days it is non existant though.

Neither do I deserve to be talked to like this. You are the ones that should get down their high horse. No one has the right to forbid me to talk in my mother tongue. How can you say they've been nice to me when they are the ones who want to forbid me to talk in my mother tongue. You don't leave me any other choice but to report all of you for harassing me. I don't tolerate any negative actions against me, doesn't matter for what reason !
i never forbid you to to talk in german. i just told you toprovide a translation with it. if you want to report any of us. try it please, since i wanna see how the temps read thier own statement on this.

Your not going to last long here with your attitude and arguing with mod staff. Nobody is forbidding you to not speak in German but general rules of English speaking forums is posting in English only or post in your native language but have a English translation, so others can assist.

It was just a comment not a post so why are all of you throwing a tantrum ? I didn't add a translation because it was a personal question, it's none of your business !

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Long story short, the flashcard you purchased is not compatible with 3DS games and will never play them, no matter what. You have two options, you can either hack your 3DS as it was suggested to you *or* you can buy a card that natively supports 3DS games, like a SKY3DS. If you choose the latter path to proceed, make sure you purchase a revision that supports FAT32/exFAT (SKY3DS+) and not one that relies on a template as the old revision is no longer supported to my knowledge and newer games likely won't work on it. It's the only style of card that'll work without running any homebrew. In either case you're already technically risking your special edition - those cards are not licensed by Nintendo and, as someone quite funny put it many years back, they're the equivalent of shoving a soggy piece of toast into your console, anything can happen. Keep in mind that without a private header injected into your ROM's you risk getting banned from online play when using cards like Sky as your pirated copy is easily detectible, which is why this method of loading has fallen out of style - I would limit its use to offline play only. I would also tone down your attitude towards other members and staff if I were you - everyone here is trying to help you, you just refuse to listen. I don't know if this thread has any further merit @tw_fan - if you want to keep it open to receive shopping advice, I'll leave it open.

Sorry pal but I'm not going to change my personality just because some people don't like me. If you don't get along with me your problem and your loss not mine. You guys aren't the first people to attack me online. I've been cyber bullied multiple times and if people attack me I'm going to defend myself doesn't matter if you like it or not. You either get along with me or you don't there's nothing in between !

You're the only one you threw a temper tantrum when you got all huffy and puffy when people told you to stick to English in order to follow the site's rules. If it wasn't part of the rules, then you would have actually had a legitimate reason to get angry, or if you actually provided an English translation to what you posted, that would have made it legitimate for you to get upset, but not be rude.
Also, someone telling you to follow the rules doesn't fall under the category of them being mean to you.
Personal questions are meant for the pms, you posted something where anyone browsing the site could see it, and you expect others not to comment on it.
A comment is considered a post, since a post is a any piece of writing or content that is made online. And, for your information, the version of "post" they used was a verb, such as, you know, an action. Consider thinking of "the act of posting a comment." You posted a comment, also known as, you made a post.
No one attacked you also, no one here is cyber-bullying you, we're not being mean, or sending you intimidating messages, or anything of the sort, so there is no need to be defensive. If people correcting you and trying to give you advise is what you see as attacks, then I wish you well, since that must mean you're forever trapped in anguish.
And here's my initial reply:
Nothing will happen to your special edition 3ds if you homebrew it. Even if something did happen, bricking can be recoverable. The card you purchased can be used to homebrew your console at virtually no risk.

I recently installed some 3DS games on my new 3DS flashcard but they won't start. I've got an R4 3DS Upgrade SDHC Gold Pro

Do you know the reason why ?
R4 3DS Upgrade SDHC Gold Pro and other DS or 3DS R4 cards, they never support 3DS Games, they are the ds game flashcards. The only working 3ds flashcards are Stargate 3ds and Sky3ds+, but stargate 3ds is indeed with bad feedback, so if you want to play 3ds games simply on 3DS, Sky3ds+ is the card.
