I was thinking of home brewing my 3ds, but I'm confused. I have the 11.2 update, and when I go on one website it says my only option is to hardmod my 3ds. However, on YouTube I see tutorials of people installing it through pokemon Alpha Sapphire for example . What am I not understanding? Does anyone have a link to a tutorial they used? And if I'm correct that you can hardmod using Alpha Sapphire, would I lose everything on it? Thank you for anyone who is willing to help me out.
