Finally Modded My 3DS
Don't forget about emulators! Especially if you have a "new" system - you can even play some (mostly 2D) PS1 games, and some N64 games on it, and everything older. On an "old" system you are more limited though - SNES games that use a SuperFX chip (such as SM RPG, Yoshi's Island, Star Fox, and some other ones) will run slow, but Genesis and 8-bit systems will run no problems. And you can run GBA games - on "new" you can even use the system's gyroscope for games like WarioWare Twisted or Yoshi Topsy-Turvy through mGBA, and on any system you can use injects or open_agb_firm - they both run games natively using the ARM7 CPU - the same one GBA uses, carried over into the DS, and it's still included in the 3DS.

Question about mGBA
Use open_agb_firm. It's a firm, so it's activated in the same way as GodMode9, hold START while turning on the 3DS. You should be able to download it via Universal Updater. open_agb_firm uses the 3DS hardware to give you the same experience as playing on a real GBA.

anyone know how to move a firered save (.sav from emulator) to a 3ds?
That depends on how you are running the game on your 3DS. The best way is with open_agb_firm, in which case you will probably need to convert it with https://exelotl.github.io/gba-eeprom-save-fix/ (as linked from https://github.com/profi200/open_agb_firm ).

Minish cap Crash
If you're playing a GBA game, open_agb_firm or a VC inject are your best bets.
- Modded the 3ds today and playing emerald on a gba emulator is really slow for som reason, why?
-
Inject GBA rom to CIA file on Linux?
You could use open_agb_firm to play your GBA games instead.

Why on my mGBA emulator on my modded 3ds make this sound when I am trying to play a game
Because unfortunately mGBA is a little bit laggy on the 3DS. It’s terrific for game boy and game boy color games, but I digress. You could use something like open agb firm which runs games using the 3DS’ built in gba hardware natively without any lag or slowdowns.

Is it really a big deal for a 3ds to have IPS screens?
That is 3DSident, the "non-GUI" version.
-
Does anyone know what causes this? Out of no where, starting up my new 3ds xl, the cursor would freak out going up and down, but doesn't during gameplay, only in the menu, but can make it difficult to close applications. Any suggestions?
Use the 3DSident-GUI app. Press (START) and (SELECT) at the same time to pull up the button tester.

Need help
Yep looks like dual ips, you can use 3DSident to make sure though https://github.com/joel16/3DSident

Is there a testing ROM for a New 2DS XL? I think my ZR isn't working.
use 3DSident-GUI: https://github.com/joel16/3DSident/releases/download/0.8.0/3DSident-GUI.3dsx https://github.com/joel16/3DSident/releases/download/0.8.0/3DSident-GUI.cia and press start+select

What screen type does my 3ds have?

I want to change my email on my 3ds but I don't want to format the memory because I have games, I got the 3ds a long time ago and I can't remember what E-mail my parents used how can I figure it out?
If your 3DS has custom firmware (modded 3DS), you can use 3DSident (GUI version) to extract all info related to parental controls. If your 3DS doesn't have custom firmware, you can use this guide https://3ds.hacks.guide/ to install custom firmware.

How do I remove the parental control on my 2DS?
3DSIdent (get the GUI one) can tell you the PIN under "config".

That moment when you own 7 3DS systems but all of them have dual TN screens
