I remember some time ago while I was staying with my parents one night, I decided to mod my old 3DS with Boot9Strap and Luma3DS. It was quite an adventure after looking through web pages consisting of 3DS Homebrew. After a while I was able to mod my Wii U with Haxchi. Well the payload was quite limiting but then I switched to Tiramisu, and nowadays I'm using the Aroma environment. My Wii U is well maintained and I had also bought some extras for it. I think I'm looking at a value at around $200 for everything ngl.
