Oh no! The eShop is closing down! Wouldn't it be a shame if you let your 2DS/3DS become a paperweight? well fear not, as you have the best retro emulator that is waiting for you to unlock its full potential. hope this infographic is useful

You can even hack your normal Nintendo DS, be it old, lite or a DSi. Or use an R4 card.
You can also still access Nintendo WFC by changing your DNS settings. Set your primary and secondary DNS to this:

Indie studios and community members are actively making ports, tools and even games for the 3DS. We are leaps & bounds ahead of what most people think the 3DS is capable of.
For example, Griffon Legend. An SNES style RPG on 3DS homebrew
gamebrew.org/wiki/Griffon_L…

There are sooo many places where both encrypted and de-encrypted .CIA/.3DS/etc. ROMs are archived. Give the community the credit they earned by developing the tools to do this, not someone who spent $23K. we do not need a game archive, we already have the Internet Archive :D

Here are some places where you can get ROMs and learn more about 3DS CFW:
hshop.erista.me
vimm.net

I may have broken the QR codes, so here are all the links too:
MelonDS: melonds.kuribo64.net/downloads.php
Citra: citra-emu.org/download/#

DSiWare: archive.org/download/famic…
Widescreen Cheats: gbatemp.net/threads/widesc…
Homebrew apps, tools, etc.:
gamebrew.org/wiki/List_of_3…
Rare Games/Software:
archive.org/download/3ds-c…

and finally, just do this pls. it has like a 0.000001% chance of not working. see ya
3ds.hacks.guide

ok I fixed the QR codes. hope this helps

btw MelonDS is currently testing a netplay feature which will emulate **local multiplayer** features (wireless play). in other words, you'll be able to use Download Play, Pictochat and DQ9's co-op again in an emulator

ok last thing maybe? since I'm being asked. yes, Halo, Half-Life, Portal, etc. really have been ported to the 3DS. there's even a GTA III port that lets you add mods
