Ninjhax (Requires copy of Cubic Ninja) Softmod, can only play homebrew, no backups. Works with all firmwares from 4.0.0 to 9.2.0 and models, even the New 3DS.
SKY3DS ($93) Works on all firmwares (as of 9.4.0), as it emulates a real card. Only useful for backups/piracy, as homebrew will not work, although Ninjhax will work with Cubic Ninja as a ROM. Non-upgradeable. The blue-button version will support unlimited games (up to 21 at a time on one microSD card), whereas the red-button version will only support 10 games forever (even if you switch out microSD cards), although this has been cracked. Clones are available (QQ3DS which comes with a DS flash cart DS support, r5sdhc)
