We could probably hardmod it but my dad fears that it could be bricked during the CFW installation
we don't really use the internet features so quitting all 3DS internet features wouldn't really take a toll could the RN&Dab Squad tell me the benefits and consequences of installing CFW on the 3DS? |

There was a recent 3DS update auto bricking any console with any kind of home brew software installed if you have wireless communications enabled.
If you aren't using 3ds online, you're missing out.
Mario kart, smash bros, kid Icarus, Pokemon, etc have great online features |

Benefits: Depending on the CFW, you can pirate games, customize the home page to play you own music, cheat on games, etc
Downside: Its against the law to pirate games, if your modded 3DS gets connected to the internet, theres a chance that Nintedo can detect it and brick/ban your device.

My dog chewed up my Mario Kart cartridge and my copy of Pokemon Y was lost when my 3DS XL broke due to a 2-3 foot drop But Nintendo shouldn't brick CFW consoles just find a way to revert them back to OFW

I'll be getting Luma if I do CFW my 3DS and you probably know I'm using that Freestore and I'm gonna have meme music as my theme but I'll try my best to stay away from Internet at all times unless needed |

As long as you do it correctly, its fine. I installed homebrew using soundhax on my old 3DS, I'm not going to risk installing homebrew or CFW on my New 3DS XL.

| hardmodding might not be too reliable because my dad has arthritis and I'm not 100% sure if he'd be willing to buy all that soldering equipment for something easily börkable |

I had a modded 3DS XL but it broke in January. I'm planning to fix it. There are a lot of benefits like modded save data, roms and game backups.

but would it be worth the trial and error of backing up the NAND (having to do a lot of internal things) to get CFW?

this should not be deleted because it's been up for so long and the mods have just let it fly hopefully a cool mod keeps it up

also I successfully CFW'd his PSP (he's had it since 2008) so that might clear up a few things but he's not gonna solder it until we can get our hands on a test 3DS

@Neo_Bahamut, I use the Global Play and Game Sync features for Pokemon Sun and Moon all the time, and so I could register for online battle championships.

essentially all you want to do to be safe is make sure you turn system info-sharing with nintendo off if you wanna use internet
benefits are you can get free games off the custom E-Shop, free shop |

not true while potentially having the chance to brick or be banned from online forever by nintendo (they can also brick your console) it will certaintly not kill your 3ds if you get banned, you have to do some stuff but you can always get unbanned Luma3DS is pretty safe and I'm not really talking about homebrew because there's plenty of ways to do homebrew I'm just talking about CFW as in Custom Firmware

yep and I can also get FBI (CIA loader), free custom themes (if I want to have a ROBLOX OT theme with a custom song I can certainly make it and there's also Homebrew and a whole variety of other goodies
