I want to download 3ds roms and play them via sd card. How do I do and where do I start. Not modded yet so starting from fresh. Which cfw is best to play 3ds roms. Won't be doing much else with it. As for my 6 year old son.

There are flashcards for 3DS ROMs, but these are expensive and not worth the money (because they can do less than free custom firmware).

If you do not already own some kind of ntrboot compatible flashcard and your firmware is >=11.4 update to 11.8 and use frogminer.

If your firmware is <=11.3 https://3ds.hacks.guide/ is the answer to all your questions.

As said above, just follow this guide for FrogMiner (free version of SeedMiner): https://jisagi.github.io/FrogminerGuide/

You don't need flashcards for anything anymore, just make sure you have a big enough SD card to store the games you want to play. And Luma is the most user-friendly and less possible to screw up, so great for just simple usage.

Do I need homebrew first
The guide for FrogMiner takes you all the way from the start all the way to the end, so no need for homebrew. Even if you had homebrew on 11.6, it wouldn't change a thing really, so just follow the guide, that's all.

Read the instructions on that page I linked to. You have to complete the SteelMiner guide first then you do the FrogMiner one, simple. That file is ran when you have homebrew with all the requirements done.

stupid question lol do I put sd card back in and turn on then start steel diver game?

Copy boot.3dsx (Homebrew Menu) to the root of your SD Card
Start the game once and select a Mii to initialize the save. Do not update the game when asked
If you already updated the game, delete the Update Data in the System Settings

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

this is my second attempt lol

also my 3ds version is 11.8.0.41e did a update and wasn't sure if was meant to

System update it okay and needed (without you couldn't have downloaded Steel Diver). You must not update the game (or you have to delete the update if you did).

To clarify, this is what you have to do:
  1. Steelminer→ Gives you access to the Homebrew Menu
  2. Frogminer→ Launch Frogtool from the Homebrew Menu to install B9S.
  3. Finalizing setup → Setup some essential software.
  4. Install games in *.cia format and/or emulators for retro consoles.
  5. If you're also interested in playing nds-ROMs without a flashcard give TWiLight Menu++ a try. (Note: Not all games are compatible and newer ROMs may need to be patched because of anti-piracy measures.)
You'd better remove the last question, as this is against the rules on GBAtemp.
