Once you have all of that finished you'll go into the game chosen to hack with, click whatever buttons/features it requires, and Homebrew will load! :D Once you're in there you can remove the game cartridge and put in your ACNL cartridge (unless your's is digital :D), open the SVDT application, it'll automatically backup your game data in /svdt/Animal Crossing New Leaf/"DATE"_numbers.

If you choose to use Freakyhax you may need to play the game a bit to unlock the QR Code game feature (kinda like in ACNL), it takes around an hour of play time, but if you buy pre-owned you probably wont have to worry about that. Ninjihax and Freakyhax are both pretty easy. If you use Oot3dhax I recommend watching a video tutorial for better assistance.
You can view a written tutorial for each one from that page as well, which includes more files you'll need to add to your SD card. After you decide which entry point you want to use, purchase the game, once you have it you can add the correct files to your SD card from the Homebrew Launcher github page provided by Smealum. Well to start, you need an entry point for homebrew! :) At the current moment (), the only working entry points (I know of xD) besides custom firmware are through the following games: Cubic Ninja (Ninjihax), Freaky Forms Deluxe (FreakyHax), and The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time 3D (I recommend doing the hack using powersave) (Oot3dhax).
