Homebrew Is transferring data between 3DS systems in homebrew possible at all?

[CeeDee]

Like, for example, transferring inputs in an emulator, for multiplayer, or something like that. Or playing multiplayer games, or transferring files between systems. Is there a reason nothing like this ever happened on the DS? Is it really hard to do? Is it even possible?

There are already homebrew that use the Internet for that.

What about locally? Of course homebrew can connect to the Internet and transfer data, but what about to and from another 3DS using homebrew?

There were a few ds games that could connect directly without an access point. I made a version of cquake that allowed connecting directly. I was not able to find testers though - no one was interested. For the ds it was a lot of work. Not sure about the 3ds though.
