This allows you to region unlock your console and play 3DS games from any territory, as well as making backups of your games and running homebrew emulators like SNES9x. You should use the 3DS Hacks Guide for the latest info on how to do this, and of course be mindful this could get you banned from the eShop or online multiplayer if those things are important to you. As always thank you for watching!
PS: I recommend a New Nintendo 3DS (or 2DS) as it’s more powerful than a standard 3DS and many of the emulators and applications will run better.
