I'd like to jailbreak my 3DS, as I like to have full control over the electronics I own. However, the only possible method I've found is with a flash cart called Gateway. But ironically they got so worried about modifications to their product (actually more with unlicensed clones) that they put code in their to intentionally brick your device if it detects modifications, which kind of reminds me of the Sonic 2 HD fiasco. So I'm not buying that. Even then I don't know if it actually lets you customize the OS or anything like that. (I'm not asking so I can pirate games, so a flash cart might not even help much.)

Firmware updates shouldn't be an issue, as I haven't even turned on my 3DS since early 2012. :p

EDIT: Kind of surprising there aren't any tags related specifically to console modding/jailbreaking, or even "homebrew". Seems like it would be a large enough topic in gaming. I guess the "3ds" and "mods" tags will have to do.
