Nintendo CFW/Homebrew - Oni - 04-04-2020
Recently CFWed my 3DS and I have a Switch arriving soon. Wanted to drop a few links, in case others were lost and looking to do similar. Will add/update links if there's interest.
"Why would I want to install a custom firmware?"
Custom Firmware can allow you to bypass region locks, install game backups, and access further customization/functionality.

Pretty dope! My friend bought a regular DS with a CFW on it not to long ago and I was checking it out. Definitely a cool gadget to have in the arsenal

I remember when the original DS and the 3DS first came out, storage was really expensive. Now you can get a 256-512 GB card for under $100 and fit as many games as you want.

Almost every one of my consoles are softmodded, from the wii to the ps3. There's so much more you can do with flash carts and CFW.
