Ever wanted to play The Witcher 3 in glorious 240p with a 3DS? Now you can stream it to your console with Moonlight! You'll need a homebrew-capable New 3DS/3DS XL/2DS XL and the Moonlight streaming client:
github.com/zoeyjodon/moonlight-N3DS
In this video, the game is running on a Steam Deck and being streamed to the 3DS with full control passthrough. At 240p, fine text isn't readable and there's a little bit of latency but miraculously it's playable. Heck, it's even maintaining a stable 30FPS.
This will only really work with the New 3DS and not the original 3DS though, as it requires the video decoding hardware that's only present on the newer models. While the homebrew app can technically be installed and run on the older generation console, you won't get more than 10FPS.
