The main reason I hacked my 3ds was that I was hoping there would be a way to store multiple user accounts on my profile. So that way my siblings could turn on the 3ds then boot into their profile, then play their games, similar to other systems. Is that possible on the 3ds currently? I saw someone mention that it was possible with emuNAND, but I can't find any information about it.

If I am correct when you create a Pretendo account you have 2 accounts in theory. Quoting the Pretendo site - "You may have thought to yourself; "2nd local account? What's that? I thought the 3DS only had one account?" And you'd be half right. The 3DS only normally supports one account, and you may only have one account active at a time. However Nintendo implemented support for multiple local accounts on the 3DS/2DS which remains unused on all retail units. On a normal retail unit only one local account is ever made, which is set to the prod NASC environment. Local accounts may be set to prod, test or dev. Nimbus makes use of this unused feature to create sandboxed local accounts with different environments"
Basically using an unused feature. Ig if you mess with this maybe you can do what u want.
Wishing ya luck!!

Sounds like a lot of trouble for not much benefit. But 3DSBank works pretty much like that.

That has to do with NNID and online services and is unrelated to the actual software installations.
