Hacking 3ds CFW help in Cumbria

[yossii]

Sorry in advance for the lengthy post. I have a 3ds (Old no little nubby thing) which has firmware 4.x (ok can’t remember off the top of my head.) and I have a Gateway 3DS which is good (not perfect but good) I have been reading a great deal about Custom Firmware which will let me play my backups and also use emulators and the like. I really want to go to a Custom Firmware but (I’ll be honest here) and terrified of doing it and even after reading lots on the internet and watching loads of YouTube videos I’m still a bit unsure. What I’m looking for is somebody who could do it for me and explain it to be a bit. I live in Carlisle (UK) but would be willing to travel a bit to get it done. If you know of anyone who does this I would be grateful if we could have a chat. Thanks

What's the exact firmware version? If it's the right version you can do it all in software without needing extra game cards etc. I'm completely the wrong end of the county (Cornwall) but happy to help if you want to post it.

I'm in the Netherlands but I can help you through PM / Skype / Discord whatever you want.

Do not be terrified it is extremely easy with a 0.1 percent or less of bricking you are totally safe just don't do something purposefully dumb. AND DO NOT watch anything on YouTube instead Google "plialects guide" and it'll be the first and only one you follow
