CFW is a nullpoint since it has no benefits now.
Smea is working on region free.
You can have this one.
What ever happened to cheats? Smea got popular because of his advancements in Pokemon.
Is this not just pirated games for the most part?
Native hardware – what? This would rely on a pre-existing GBA 1:1 playthrough on the 3DS, but all we have is Nintendo's semi-emulator that was given to Ambassadors. Hell, an unofficial emulator might run better.
Is this even available through any means?
Yes, even Smea said screenshots would be possible via the home menu with his original 'redNAND' exploit he shelved.
You can CIA install homebrew, which is vastly more convenient.
You need Kernel access to activate cheats. You're probably thinking of Save editing?
CFW is not null, specially for people who want some extra features or customization, such as screenshot taking, like i mentioned.
