Hacking I'm a Newbie

[Lizaruhoo]

I want to install cheats for Animal Crossing, but I am super duper confused on how to install a custom firmware. I tried to follow a video on YouTube for NTR CFW, but my computer said I could get a virus if I downloaded it. Last time it actually did get a virus when I tried downloading something, so I'm scared and stuck on what to do.

You should never follow a YouTube guide many are out of date or have information that will end up bricking your 3ds. To install cfw follow this guide is the one recommended by nearly everyone on this site. https://3ds.hacks.guide/get-started.html

Follow https://3ds.guide, and stay away from videos. This guide is 100% trustworthy and will always be up to date.

Edit:

Also once you have finished installing cfw using the guide I linked above you can then install checkpoint for cheats https://github.com/FlagBrew/Checkpoint

It doesn't tell me exactly where to put it on the SD card. It just tells me to launch it.

Hi newbie, I’m dad.
It tells exactly what you want:
3DS

• sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint: root path
• sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/config.json: custom configuration file
• sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/saves/<unique id> <game title>: root path for all the save backups for a generic game
• sdmc:/3ds/Checkpoint/extdata/<unique id> <game title>: root path for all the extdata backups for a generic game
