I was thinking about sending in my New Nintendo 3DS Xl to get a capture card installed. Before I do, however, I want to know if there are any issues with sending in a 3DS with custom firmware.

Is it alright if I send in the 3ds with its SD card? I'm not entirely sure how Loopy tests it after installing the capture card.

IIRC he said you should include your SD card when sending in your system since some CFW requires it, and he can't test if he can't even start the system.

I do remember seeing that comment. I'm just wondering how I should let Loopy know if the console has custom firmware on it.

In the frequently asked questions, it clearly states that the mod works with homebrew software. So I would keep the SD card inserted in the console when you send it. It's not going to be a problem.

Probably 80-90% of consoles sent in nowadays are modded. It's no big deal.
If you're going to take out the SD card, make sure it can still boot up, that's all that matters to me. (If it can't, you should probably update your firmware...)
