If you mean homebrew on its own, no, but it is more expensive to have just homebrew than CFW & homebrew. Anything you can do with plain homebrew can be done with CFW so it would be silly to spend more and get less. Even if you didn't want the CFW-only abilities it would still be a silly idea to purposefully get only homebrew.Is homebrew entirely dead? Is cfw the ONLY way now?

If you have 11.4+ look at https://3ds.guide/homebrew-launcher-(alternatives) but don't bother downloading the boot9strap files because you can't get CFW with plain homebrew. Would require you to buy a 3DS game that could be rare and hard to find and expensive, or a less rare game plus a PowerSaves device. Whereas CFW could be installed for less than $15 see https://3ds.guide/ntrbootWhat do you mean it's more expensive to only have homebrew? How do I get it

I used the R4i Gold as mentioned in the guide and it worked great but there are a few different ones that could be cheaper. Just make sure to buy from nds-card.com so you won't be scammed or be sent the wrong cart. And check the guide very very carefully to make sure you get the right one and not just one that looks similar.I meant for a card which card do you recommend
No when you're done you can sell it if you wish. Or keep it for DS games.And do I need to keep the flashcart

I could borrow it but that's about it so do I need it permanentlyI used the R4i Gold as mentioned in the guide and it worked great but there are a few different ones that could be cheaper.
