Hello everyone! I want to buy a 2ds in order to install cfw on it without a flashcart, is there any 2ds I can buy that will for sure have a system version low enough to hack without using a flashcart? Thank you for your help!

 

I would just buy the one you want and buy a flash cart. they are very inexpensive.

Edit: Honestly, the ntr boot method is ALOT easier to get done compared to other methods once you factor in what you're buying. plus you get the 2ds that you actually want.

 

There's a Pikachu New 2DS XL edition coming out later this month.

 

Adding to this, if you don't anticipate using the 3D - get the 2DS XL. It is the same as the 3DS XL without the 3D capability (AFAIK)!

 

I think he means the "new" 2DS XL
it's of lower build quality speaker are facing your palms and cameras are in the bottom half instead of in the lid.
other than that it has the same power as a new 3ds, just cheaper. I upgrade my old 3ds to one and I'm very satisfied. it has good colors despite being a TN panel.

 

Sorry - build quality of the new 2DS XL is different however what I meant was internal specs are all just as powerful. For that reason I don't see why you would buy a 3DS XL (of course unless you want the 3D features).
Spending an extra ~£50 for build quality isn't what I'd do personally though - my 2DS XL feels fine for me, does the job
