I have always wanted a homebrew on my gaming system and could never figure out the whole hacking thing. So I bought a SNES euro version 3DS that was made region free and the system is up to the latest update and the homebrew programs too and it has the freeshop. I have already downloaded over 80 titles and I have downloaded custom themes too you can find here:
https://themeplaza.eu/themes. But you need a homebrew program for it called anemone. My system works like a real 3DS but there had been a few times where a game wouldn't work (I would get an error code from homebrew) so I would delete and download the Euro version and the game would work. I am guessing it's because my system is Euro region so somehow not all American games will bypass the region lock despite homebrew removing it so I download the euro version instead. I couldn't even use the online feature for Mario Maker 3DS so I downloaded the Euro version and the internet features work now. I also got Detective Pikachu. I was surprised it was already on there given it was just released this March. I also have a universal 3DS adapter. That means I can charge 120 or 240 items without having to use any converter. If your item says 120-240, it means you can use any adapter for that item without using a converter. If the AC adapter says the same, it means you can use it for your item without a converter even if your item says 120.
Now my son wants a freeshop on his 3DS but I tell him I don't want to brick his gaming system and I can't figure this stuff out. No one has created a dummy guide yet for 3DS hacking starting with your unhacked 3DS. But the problem is, lot of people don't like things to be simple and dumbed down because they feel insulted but some people like me need things to be dumbed down so we understand it. I sometimes tell people to dumb things down for me or explain it in simple terms because I am not understanding them. "Can you dumb it down for me so I understand?" I tell this to my husband when he talks about science. I tell him "I need you to dumb it down." Then he explains it in a general way than in a scientific way. The problem is these 3DS hack guides keep explaining it in a computer smart way than in a general way.
The real creater of the freeshop got busted for child porn I hear so someone else is now running the program. I never saw any sources about it, I have only seen it in the comments.
