They write these really beautiful, elaborate letters to each other. Now, normally when you write a letter to someone, they just pick it up and read it. But these penpals don't know each other's languages, so they need you.So what happens? Instead of mailing it directly to each other, they need to send it to you, who interprets the letter, then you mail the interpreted letter to the respective person.
Homebrew is the first step for hacking your 3DS firmware 11.9 device, only get homebrews, you can’t play any commercial NDS or 3DS games.

Oct 02, 2015 Learn how to get Retroarch a multi-platform Emulator on your Homebrewed 3DS with soundhax on your Nintendo 3DS, 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS, XL running firmware 9.0-10.1. Play NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA.
Instead of taking a week, it takes three weeks for it to arrive: one to send it to you, one for you to translate it, and one to send the finished letter.Emulation works like this for the most part. The GBA can be thought of one person, the 3DS another. A computer program (in this case, a game) can be thought of as the letter, and you played the role of the emulator.The GBA uses very specific instructions (think numbers: add this together, move this number to a spot, etc) to perform tasks. The 3DS uses a similar, but still different enough set to do the same things.By instructions, I mean the computer form of 'add this number to that number and store it' or 'move the value of this number to a different location and clear the old location value'.So, when you play a 3ds game, the game may say to the 3ds 'move the value of x to location y', and the 3ds does it. But the GBA game talking to the 3ds might look like 'y vhe aoue lf to x cloation'What the hell does that mean? Well, the emulator does the translation. But it requires overhead.I'll stop here, but emulation is a fun topic to talk about.tl;dr just read it, you'll probably learn something cool.
This is a great explanation, nice work! I often try to explain programming concepts to non-technical folk and have a soft spot for effective stories like these. As someone who just learned MIPS and about clock cycles/processor architecture last month, it's also very cool to see it being applied to something I'm actually interested in. (I was forced to take a systems class against my will, lol. It's been a rough semester to say the least, though weirdly enough assembly language and processor architecture turned out to be my favorite parts).

Here are some frontends that we recommend:TWLoader is a CTR-mode GUI that looks and feels like the Nintendo DSi menu, but the theme can be changed to R4 or akmenu/Wood.nds-hb-menu is another 3DS frontend, but based off the Nintendo DSi homebrew menu.SRLoader is a port of the famous TWLoader to the DSi.

The R4 3DS is more easy to handle, there don’t have any risk to run DS games with a R4 card. To hack DS games by CFW and emulator is more difficult.
It’s not a good solution for the beginners. The R4 3DS card has a better compatibility.
It works perfectly on a Nintendo New3DS, New2DS, 3DS, 2DS, DS, DS Lite, DSi. However, for emulator and custom firmware, they have the limits for Nintendo consoles.
