The 3DS is unironically one of the few consoles I wish I actually had. Why? It's just feels wrong to emulate, same with the Wii U and to a lesser extent, the Wii (unless you have one of those fancy pc-compatible sensor bars). The hardware is too unique and something gets lost when you try to emulate it.
I can recommend buying a used one, they go between 50€-100€. And then just homebrew it. :)
Maybe the price has gone down in the US, but unfortunately the last I checked they were a bit more expensive in the US if you wanted one in decent condition.
Yeah I bought a used one earlier this month and it was $144. It did come with Luma already installed which was nice
For that price, I'm guessing that was a Japanese 3DS that someone modded and re sold in the US?
Yeah I believe so, at this point I don't think it matters since homebrewing it will get around region locking and the eShop is dead
Oh I didn't mention this is in Austria/Germany. Sucks that they are more expensive in the US :(
I got this one for I think 70€ and it's even the XL version.
