I have a 3ds old one on the very first firmware never been used as I had 2, my question is should I buy a game with 9.0.0 firmware and install cfw through soundhax or should I do the all versions one and buy a compatible flashcart, thanks for your help in advance.

If you buy compatible flashcart, you can use it to play DS games after you are done with NTRBoot. So, it is going to be more value for your money.

thanks for the info, could I dump my 3ds games I believe using god mode and play them off a sd card or do I need a flashcart to play them, sorry for being a noob.

Why bother with a flashcart? There are almost no games that come with a FW lower than 9.0, just get the cheapest game you can find if you got none at all, update and if it's above 9.0.1 you can instantly install CFW and do whatever you want. As for dumping, GM9 works great as suggested already.

I thought after 11.3.0 you need a compatable flashcart to do the all versions method as I was thinking of buying gardening mama forest friends for the 9.0.0 update thank you for your input.

Yes. After 11.3 you need flashcard (or do DSiWare transfer or do hardmod).

With flashcard he can play DS games and can update to any FW he wants (and downgrade), while still being able to hack his 3DS. So it makes much more sense (more value for money).

It's your decision. Buy 3DS game card (you have to find game that will update to max 11.3) and hack your 3DS or buy DS flashcard (and don't care about what FW you have) and hack your 3DS while being able to play DS games.

You do need a flashcart for the simplest method if above 11.3, but you are on 1.0.0, you shouldn't even be worrying about such things! Anything between 9.0.1 and 11.3 will work fine for you and get you CFW. Why are you so insistent on doing the all firmwares method? The soundhax method works for all version between 9.1 and 11.3 and if you are between 9.0.1 and 9.1 you can instead just replace soundhax with browserhax and still install CFW without a flashcart.

Using TWLoader you can already play almost all decent or above games without any issues since it has quite a nice compatibility. As for upgrading and downgrading, what is even the point? Only reason to downgrade is if you want GW, which isn't worth it and you can just stay on last update just fine with CFW, so I don't see how that's even gonna justify the flashcart... As for the not caring about FW he has, flashcart compatibility can be shaky unless he gets a really good one. But yes, his choice, but a simple game to update is easier since you can find games everywhere, unlike flashcarts.

You can play them via TWLoader, but it's unreliable. I am so keen, because he can buy cheap flashcard (for $5) and be able to hack his 3DS and be able to play ALL DS games.

That "5$" can differ GREATLY between countries, just because there it's cheap, doesn't mean it's everywhere. Here flashcarts cost almost 60€ for example! As for TWLoader, I mainly want to play Pokemon Platinum (my own ROM hack) and it works just fine without any framedrops or stutters.

Show me flashcard that can be used for Ntrboot and cost that much. He can buy $9 Acekard from nds-card.com

That site has the "5$ flashcart" you mentioned at 20+$ first of all and even with free shipping, there's wait and depending on country there may even be import fees. For some countries, those fees can go fairly high... Anyway, there are two options, don't know how the importing of flashcarts works for UK, so let's leave it up to the OP to decide what to do. We already gave him suggestions so it's all good.
