As a society, we need to bring back the Nintendo 3DS
Everybody tagging and commenting "original ds too" on this, I have great news about the functionality of the 3DS,
You're more right than you know! Did you know the current state of 3DS homebrew makes it so that:
You can install and make your 3DS hacked with about an hour of work.
There is no risk of bricking
It is 100% undetectable by Nintendo
You can play the games online
You can download and install any 3DS, DS, or GBA game and run them perfectly (the 3ds still has the GBA hardware in it!)
You can emulate the Playstation 1 on a new 3ds!
And an absurd amount more.
I've actually made a guide about what to do after you homebrew your 3ds so you can really understand how much nonsense you can do.
You can find it here! It's still early, but if you have any questions or comments, I've left comments enabled so I can get feedback.
Happy hacking!
in light of recent news
In light of recent news I am happy to announce that I'll be making a guide for the Wii U as well. Unlike the 3DS, the U hacks are able to download directly from Nintendo's servers, so the closure of the eShop will heavily affect the ability to access Wii U games from a 100% reliable source.
