The downside is the community's documentation is scattered trash compared to any other technical part of the internet.
It took me almost 10 years to finally enjoy Ocarina of Time that I have a legit VC copy of. I want to load up a majoras mask wad and all the forum posts just read like lists of codewords i'm not cool enough to know. I set this up almost a year ago, I don't remember what ios versions I installed. I'm gonna have to reboot this thing like 10 times before I figure it out.
Edit: Hacked my 3ds for advance wars, holy shit themes have sound.
The last time I checked if i could homebrew my 3DS was around when I hacked my Wii. Aparently there's an easy hack available now and guess who's gonna play some advanced wars when he gets home.
