Not using any flash cart, just with a sd card inserted to a new 2ds xl or 3ds xl console, what can you do? The answer is getting Homebrews and CFW both.

 

Homebrews: Homebrew usually refers to software that is not authorized by Nintendo. It allows you to run homebrew games, tools like save editing and backup, and emulators for various older systems. There are many homebrew exploits in commercial games to let you install Homebrews freely to a 3DS firmware console.



CFW: Custom Firmware enables you to use more advanced hacks that userland homebrew can't easily do. For instance, signature patches let you install unsigned titles that appear right on your HOME Menu. CFW can be set up on any console on any version (but may require additional tools/accessories for versions >11.3.0). After installing them to your 3ds xl or new 2ds xl model, what do they do?

• Customize your HOME Menu with user-created themes and splash screens
• Use "ROM hacks": for games that you own
• Play free3DS Games with CIA format.

• Play games for older systems with various emulators, using RetroArch or other standalone emulators. (Works best with a New Nintendo 3DS)
• Install homebrew titles to your system, and have them appear on your HOME Menu
• Dump your game cards to a format you can install, and play them without needing the card
• New 3DS or New 2DS only: stream live gameplay to your PC wirelessly with NTR CFW
