    Hi,

    My friend is selling me his 3ds with a couple of games, but I have a question first before buying it.

    Remember how the original DS and DSL had these flash carts called R4 (original) which would play just about everything and had a team that constantly made new kernels for them in order to play the new games?

    Do we have something like that for the 3Ds? Would be able to download and play games that were released around 6-12 months ago? Like Street Fighter, Dragon Ball Z Heroes & other stuff like that?

    Oh, and what about the 3DSXL?

    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Thanks.

    Yeah, there's the Gateway. Pretty simple to use once you've got everything set up, and you can play practically everything. You used to(?) have to be on a certain firmware to use it, and I think there's compatibility problems with the New3DS, so you might want to do a little research before you consider buying it.

    You can, BUT guaranty you will run into alot of AP crap and some games wont work and other issues. On the flip side, you can always buy the games and play them on the 3ds you thinking of purchasing.

    Thanks Nifl. I'll look into all of that. :)

    @Blaze, ideally, I'd like to just download the games coz I spend cash on other hobbies like vintage comics and stuff like that. I'll buy a few of the ones I really like, but I'd like to download most.

    if you want to use Gateway flashcarts then the console should be between (Firmware 4.1-9.2).
