Hard mods or soft mods?
I'm not sure the difference, but I'm doing the standard mod to allow emulated games and changing the language because the Japanese ones are so much cheaper
Hard mods are modifying the 3DS hardware, whereas soft mods are software. The difference is doing something like installing a chip into your 3DS (hard mod) or leaving it with the original hardware and only modifying the operating system to allow third party apps or modifications to the first party apps (soft mods)
