Question for setting up Homebrew on 3DS

In the video guide I am watching, he runs the mii maker after inserting the SD card for the first time at 8:08
he says it's not an issue if you've ran the mii maker before but I just want some clarification
I've run the mii maker before and set up a mii BEFORE I even had an SD card inserted into my system, meaning while the mii maker has been run, it has NOT been run while the SD card has been inserted, so I'd just like to check this isn't an issue at all?

video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UCDZCPnPis
Note: The SD card i'm going to use has NEVER been inserted into the 3ds so doesn't have any "3DS" folder or anything, is this also a problem?

Homebrew problems

I just installed all the required software to use the homebrew channel and usb loader gx but every time I try and start a game it loads for a while and then goes back to either the home page or the homebrew channel and I have no clue what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated

My Wii U has parental Controls on it, will that be an issue if i want to homebrew it?

Just for some context no i don't have crazy strict parents i got my Wii U when i was 6 and my uncle put parental controls on it but i never really used it until 2021 so that's why i never got around to disabling it, and yes i do know the parental controls Pin

Can you install steam on a modded switch

I've seen people install Linux on switches that are modded and some people say you can use steam. So would a modded switch be able to run terraria calamity?

Looking to use an old model R4 carrtrige for homebrew in order to use a higher space microSD card than 2GB, any luck?

Hello Friends, I've just managed to get my old R4 from 2009 to work again after 4 years of it being broken, but I face an issue, it only works on microSD cards that are 2GB large, I have a slightly bigger one at 8GB and would rather use that, but the firmware on the R4 gets stuck on anything larger, and have found an alternative here maybe, would it be possible to rework my R4 into a homebrew cartridge?

Questions about modding switch

Is there a written guide like 3ds hack guide (for software modding). How do you switch between android and normal switch? And do I have to put my games onto the built in storage then move it to the modded section with some special app?

Don’t know where to post this but my ROM broke

I bought Super Mario 64 DS almost a month ago and now it has broken. I didn’t know it was a ROM but it worked at first (until today). The original game was called “Deep Labyrinth Atlus USA Inc. Menus broke and I couldn’t access the game at all. Has this happened to anyone?

View/Edit Mario Party 8 Code

I am new to editing code from this kind of game standpoint, though I know how to read code. I recently played Mario Party 8 on my Wii and was wondering if there was any way to view the code of Mario Party 8. I looked it up and got a .wbfs file, but I can't find a way to view the code from there (I don't know what to open it with). Is it even possible to view the code?

Also, what coding language is Mario Party 8 coded in? Would I, someone who knows Java, C++, Python, and C, be able to read and edit it somewhat? What program would I use to edit it, if so? I got the file from this website. Also, if I edit it, how would I then play it on my Wii? Or do I even need a Wii to play it, or can I just connect my Wii controllers to my computer and somehow play it on here?

Safe to access internet after homebrew?

Dove into homebrewing today following this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvNag0B5jbk, and im pretty happy with the results and have had good success loading games and getting them to play via USB loader gx. What im wondering is how I connect to the internet now. Most videos I see start with that and have a few different ways. Im kind of struggling to understand the guide as well just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction / video. Thanks!
