Look around for a guide, if I find the one I used I will post it. It's pretty self explanatory though.

After playing WiiU games in 4k with CEMU can't really justify getting a WiiU. Can't wait till its fully fleshed out. Never on any of my consoles as it is.

Yeah, I bitch a lot about PSN, but Nintendo's network for the 3DS is like using the DSL service I had 15-20 years ago. If Sony is like 5x slower than Steam, then Nintendo is about 100x slower. I really hope they don't use the same stuff for Wii U games, because they are much larger than 3DS ones.

Jailbroke my Majora's Mask 3DS XL today, took about an hour and with freeshop I can install and play any 3DS game released on the eshop now. Pretty cool. It felt a bit more complicated than the wii u just because of how many times you have to take the SD card out, copy some files, put it back in, do some stuff, rinse and repeat. Follow the steps very carefully though at Guide and its pretty straight forward.
Leave yourself plenty of time when you do the part where you flash back down to 2.1, if you accidently close the 3DS (sleep mode) or do a firmware update you will brick your 3DS so pay really careful attention during the 2.1.0 ctrtransfer step and you should be fine.

this is cool, a homebrew app that lets you stream the 3DS to a pc, and send input from kbd/gamepad back to the 3ds
Official - [Release] kit-kat - The Ultimate 3DS Toolkit PC Client
its a bit funky to install (download and run the kit-kat.exe in the bottom of the first post) and then you have to also download a .cia file and install it, but can do it all from inside kit-kat. I got it running but its a tiny little window (can change that in options I think) and sound doesn't stream, only video but it does work with the gamepad on my PC which is kinda cool

Thanks for this - picked up a 32GB sd card and an hour later my 3DS was running freeshop and blargSNES with every game I'll ever want to play.

you can use your existing card, you need like 3gb or so free thats all. you will keep all your games, saves, profiles, etc. You do need to swap the SD card between the 3DS and your PC like a dozen times as you copy and delete files back and forth, so have a good SD card reader on your PC. I used my 32GB microSD card inside my 3ds xl and it had about a dozen games on it (10 gigs used) and no problems running all of them afterwards. They all get rewrapped as gifts when you are done but you just open and run them like before and all my saves (pathetic as they were) were fine.
all your 3ds stuff will be in the "/Nintendo 3DS" folder, just leave that folder alone and never delete it. None of the jailbreak steps will ever have you touch it.
i WOULD however backup your entire SD card to your PC before you start, and also in the step where it tells you to make a copy of the NAND copy that file (sysnand.bin) to a dropbox, onedrive, google drive, etc folder since its the OG firmware for your system that you could restore to if you ever needed to go back to stock 3DS.

Ah, good.. thanks. I lost my old SD card reader somewhere so I ordered the one you linked above along with the Y cable for the WiiU HD. I think it was old enough that it probably wasn't USB 3.0 anyway, and the last thing I want is for the process to be even slower.
Speaking of that, the HD I'm going to use was originally bought for my PS3 and hasn't really been needed for anything else since then. It's in a USB 3.0 enclosure now. Do I just need to give it a new FAT32 format for the WiiU to use it, or does the console do a format itself when you first connect it?

Sucks that the streaming portion is N3DS only =/ Might be worth it for full controller support though if it works worth a damn.

Didn't hack my N3DS since I bought it before CFW was out and already paid for a ton of digital games. Sometimes I wish I had just for the translated Japanese games and VC games that Nintendo won't put out, but I have no regrets that I gave them a bunch of money for a good product. I also don't care about VC because I have a PSP Go with CFW so I can just play everything there.
