I followed https://3ds.hacks.guide/ and it took me the better part of a day. Maybe six hours. The the WEEK AFTER I HACKED IT (this was maybe seven years ago?) they released a MUCH EASIER HACK. it took me under an hour to hack my partner’s 3DS.
I was scared to do it because what if it went badly? But nah, snipping out the clit nub was super easy and I had a spare PSP… the PSP joystick snapped RIGHT on and suddenly I had infinitely more control over my camera in games! I was sooooo happy.
Edit: I chose to use flush cutters to chop my C-stick out, I didn’t want to take my 3DS apart. I modded my PSP by taking it apart and hot gluing cut-out NES sleeve bits to the buttons for DJ Max Portable and didn’t want to go through all that again.
Interesting… I’d like to know more. Is there a good resource you’d recommend?
Oh absolutely!

I did my PSP joystick mod when Monster Hunter Generations came out. Oh god that was like eight years ago now… you can see it and find a video someone made recently here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/modding-new-3ds-xl-with-psp-1000-analog-stick-also-works-on-other-new-systems.606476/
