Why did I wait so long? I don't like emulating extant systems, that's why.
Compared to the likes of earlier emulators, setting these up legally is going to be a huge headache. The only console I ever stuck custom firmware on before was my PSP, so I could legally-ish use PPSSPP with my own collection.
But what choice do I have in the wake of the Nenpocalypse 2.0? (Note: 1.0 didn't bother me much. I only have physical Wii games, except for SMRPG.) Sigh.

keep us updated on your progress....
Seriously, though, best of luck - the more things progress, the trickier this sort of thing seems to get (though I was very pleasantly surprised by how great Dolphin is for the GameCube and Wii, and Citra seemed to be in quite good shape when I last looked into it), so I'm looking forward to hearing about how this goes.

Well, here's an update: I've just successfully installed Luma3DS et al. on my New3DSXL using this guide recommended by the citra developers in their FAQ.
I don't recommend doing this without reading thoroughly, as it's much more involved than installing custom on something like the PSP. You have to have a couple of hours free to do this; messing up can brick your system. I also recommend a 32gb (micro)SD(HC) card, any larger and you may have trouble.
Now comes the part about dumping my games/updates/DLC for use in the emulator. Apparently they each have to be done separately. Dumping the AES keys is going to be a pain if it has to be done individually. I'm gonna take a break for tonight to save myself a migraine.
For now, I'm staying away from anything shady... but is it ever a pain to be law-abiding sometimes.
Yeah, I've been emulating games since I first bought Sega Smash Pack vol. 3 for Windows back in 2000 years before I even knew what emulation was.
It's come a long way, but man, are the settings for newer console emulators trial and error. Compared to Snes/Genesis/N64 emulation, it's rocket science!
Sometimes ya just wanna be able to play knowhutimean Vern?. (God, I miss Jim Varney; people all over my neck of the holler grew up watching his movies/commercials!)

I've got a busted water heater and on top of that I've got a small creek now running from my utility room to my den. I may be a few days getting back to y'all.
I got started by way of Bleem! back in 1999, due to the simple desire to play my PlayStation discs on my laptop - I got into it thanks to Sony drawing attention to emulation by taking legal action against it.
Long before that, I had a brush with emulation before knowing what it was, WAY back in primary-school, thanks to the Acorn Archimedes being able to emulate its predecessor, the BBC Micro, so it goes back a long way with me!
Oh yikes! I hope that you were able to sort this out and get back to the emulation gig again!
