Hi, I wanted to ask this question in the Ask section, but apparently I need to have 100+ posts to use it (is this true?).
I have an old 3DS with version 3.0.0-6E firmware on it. I used that well-known (I think) "3DS Hacks Guide" to get boot9strap and Luma3DS on it, and it all went smoothly (except I seemingly bricked my Acekard 2i, but luckily I had an old phat DS and a CycloDS Evolution lying around, as well as a guide on the GBATemp wiki, with which to reverse the damage).
I should say, this was my first time doing anything like this, and it was pretty hard to find a good source of information for noobs. There's so much stuff out there and often it seems to assume so much other knowledge. Because of this, I failed to realize that actually running homebrew on my CFW 3DS wouldn't be as easy as I thought it would be, mainly because of its version.
So, my question is: what are my options for installing homebrew? I don't really want to update past 4.3.0 if I don't have to, because I'd like to be able to retain the use of my Acekard. Are there any hacks available to me that don't require both 1. updating past 4.3.0, and 2. buying a specific game? (EDIT: What's the lowest firmware version at which browserhax is possible?)
Thanks for reading, and apologies for being a noob and possibly saying stupid things (please be gentle).
