Yeah, there is the Sky3DS and the Sky3DS+ if you wanted a flash cart like the R4.
The regular one plays only regular 3DS games. The Sky3DS+ plays the newer games that take advantage of the N3DS' upgraded processor.
The cheapest way right now is to downgrade it with DSiware + a second hacked 3DS and put on what is called arm9loaderhax. It edits the bootloader of the Nintendo so you can backdoor install games. Will cost you $10 as you need the DSiware game off the eShop to do it.
If you don't have access to a second hacked 3DS, you're going to need to buy Sky3DS.
EDIT: I don't think there is any place in Crystal Mall that does it, but some places in Richmond probably do. I would avoid those because they do a hardmod with soldering (saves time I believe) at the cost of warranty.
