I decided that I'm getting an R4 style flashcart as a gift for a friend of mine who owns a stock 3DS. He's afraid of tampering with his system, so he refused my offer to install Luma3DS on his console, but he's fine with a flashcart.
I'm going to buy this flashcart for him online somewhere and set it up with YSmenu and a handful of games, but I don't want to give him a gift that doesn't work, so I'd like to test for myself that whatever cartridge I end up buying will work on a stock 3DS.
Since I don't have a stock 3DS, I'd like to know if it's possible to boot my hacked 3DS into the original firmware, like we can on the Switch using hekate, or if there's some way to temporarily disable whatever parts of Luma3DS affect loading NDS cartridges, as I remember reading somewhere that some flashcarts that don't work on a stock 3DS do work under Luma. If neither of these things is possible, then is there a simple way to un-hack and later re-hack the console? That way I could test the flashcart on a "clean" system and be sure that everything's flowers and peaches before I give it to him.
Thanks in advance for reading this far, for any help and suggestions, and generally for still being active on a 3DS forum in mid-2022. You're awesome.
