Any idea on what I can do with it? Most preferably without buying any cartridges, (I have Ocarina of Time but no Powersaves or modded save) but if the web browser is usable to load the Ninjhax exploit or something, that'd be awesome. Thanks!
Is that really the only way to do anything on it? I honestly can't afford an $80 cartridge to mod the 3DS.get a gateway
You cant afford $80? Really?
Sell what? 3 3DS games.
From me bricking my system without a gateway get this. All you will get is RX tools emunand and retail carts. Cfw is usually garbage but you could use pbt or ntr with legit cias. Just get a gateway its well worth itAny idea on what I can do with it?

I'm pretty sure ninjhax works from 4.5 to 9.2. You could also use the web exploit to downgrade to 4.5 and set up an emunand. The only way to update that emunand, afaik, is with rxtools. But you won't be able to pirate and cubic ninja would still be your only way to run homebrew.Okay. It's not my 3DS, it's a friend's, he was just wondering if i can do much with it. I can't afford any cartridges, (although I could use loadcode I suppose. I wonder if that could possibly hack into OoT's save?) but thanks anyways!
Used games often aren't worth all that much, particularly after they're more than a few weeks old...
As for if you want homebrew/piracy, it can be done (with some limitations and a good amount of work put into it). You can also run rxTools and pull legit stuff from the eshop.
Just by selling OoT3D alone you could get almost enough money to buy a GW. (cart alone sells for $40+ on eBay and if you have the box and manual you can get $50+. A GW costs about $55 from www.eachmall.me)Any idea on what I can do with it?

If you go by GameStop prices sure.
Used 3DS games actually don't drop much in value over time, sometimes the price even goes up (See: USA region OoT3D)
I've found that cfw is really unstable. It was a game of chance to get palentine to launch, and then it couldnt be updated. Rxtools will let you update but limits it's usefulNess with piracy checks. GW is simple and works reliably. That's the point of spending the money, convenience. Now if anyone made cfw that did what the gw can do, not just piracy, and work 100% that would be something to brag about.
Pretty bad example, tbh. A game that's required for an exploit will tend to jump in price. Same thing happened with Cubic ninja, which by the way went from 40 dollars at launch to around 3 dollars shortly before ninjahax was released. Generally speaking, first party titles from Nintendo will tend to hold their value a little better than most other games as well. Try looking at 3rd party titles, and you'll find that's not normally the case.
cfw is a little unstable, I'll agree...exactly how unstable though, heavily depends on your setup, certain types of SD cards work a lot better than others.
