So, I currently have a 3DS which has received extremely little use over the years. It was bought on launch, but shortly afterwards I stopped really gaming so it has sat in its box for ages. Once in a while I would take it out, update it and then put it back in. I did make use of the Ambassador program, so I have all the ambassador content installed.
It is currently on 9.4.0-21E -- which was when I last tried to use it / update it.
It has never been modded (hard-mod or soft-mod). It is the European version (I understand that this matters).
So I have some questions:
1. How can I soft-mod this to run CFW/homebrew? Is it best to stay on the current version I have on it, or update it first to the latest version (11.10.0-43)?
2a. I was told Frogminer (https://3ds.eiphax.tech/frogminer.html) is the best approach. Is that correct? I do not have a homebrew entry point (that I know of).
2b. Is the homebrew entry point only possible through Steel Diver: Sub Wars?
3. My intention is to end up installing the Luma3DS CFW (as I was told it was the best). Will this process wipe my access to the Ambassador content?
Many thanks in advance!
Edit: #1 If I want to backup my device, in case I want to return it to stock ROM/functions, is it possible? Will I be automatically banned from eShop / Online anyway?
