And I assume I need a personal NAND backup to downgrade from 10.3 correct?
Nope. A downgrade method for firmwares 9.3+ was recently released and does not require a NAND backup. Click here for a tutorial.

I've got a few questions regarding playing roms. I'm running the latest EMUNAND firmware on my 3DS.

1: Is it safe to visit the eShop and download things on EMUNAND?
2: Is it safe to install game updates via eShop (for example Super Smash), or should I install the .cia updates with DevMenu
3: What's safer to use when playing online, .3dz files or .cia?
1. Yes.

2. It is safe to install game updates from the eShop on emuNAND.

3. 3dzs are safe as long as you have a private header on them. Cias are safe as they don't require a private header and use your console's header. They're both safe as long as you have a private header for the 3dzs. If you don't have a private header for the 3dzs, stick to cias.

Can we install cia smash update on sysnand 10.3 with FBI 123.123 ?
It is possible to add FBI.3ds on sky3ds+ ?
You cannot install game updates on 10.3 sysNAND. Extracted game updates are not legit cias.
It is not possible to install FBI.3ds on a Sky3DS or Sky3DS+. Sky3DS can only run unmodified roms and cannot run homebrew.

What up.

Is it possible to upgrade my 4.5 sysnand and 10.3 emunand to 9.2 sysnand and keep 10.3 emunand?

Is there a easier method than others?

Thanks

1. yes
2. see below quote
How to Update your 3DS/2DS to 9.0 or 9.2
If you want to boot rxTools as soon as you turn on your 3DS, then you need to set-up Menuhax; and to use Menuhax, you need to be on 9.0 - 9.2 firmware.
Warning: This can brick your 3DS if done incorrectly! Be sure that you follow the instructions carefully!

Requirements:
  • BigBlueMenu installed in sysnand (Part 4a if you don't have Gateway or Ninjhax) OR any other cia installer on Sysnand.
  • A rxTools 3.0 nightly (preferably the one linked in Part 2)
Let's get started.
  1. Click HERE
  2. Click the CIA Format DLC's, Themes & Updates [Archive] result
  3. Click View Full Version : CIA Format DLC's, Themes & Updates at the top of the page
  4. Find the thread titled [MEGA] [CIA/BIN] MSET 4.X & 6.X backups, Browser backups, Update packs (All Regions)
  5. Scroll down to the section titled Updates
  6. Download either the 9.2 modified update pack for your region, or a 9.0 or 9.2 Full Update Pack for you region
  7. Once downloaded, open the archive and find the "updates" folder; place it on your SD card. There should be many cia files in that folder.
    • Example: SD:/updates/0004013000008003.cia
  8. Download Sysupdater
  9. Open the archive and put sysUpdater.cia on your SD card
  10. Insert your SD card in your 3DS
  11. Hold L while launching rxTools to get into the rxTools menu. If using rxTools 2.5.2, hold R instead.
  12. Press DPAD RIGHT until you highlight ADVANCED OPTIONS, then press A. Skip this step if using rxTools 2.5.2
  13. Go down to DEVMODE or PASTA MODE and press A
  14. After a few seconds, you should now be in sysnand; firmware spoofing is disabled but cias can still be launched in this mode.
  15. Launch you CIA installer
  16. Install sysUpdater.cia (Destination: SD if using FBI)
  17. Once installed, press HOME to see sysUpdater wrapped as a gift; unwrap it.
  18. Launch sysUpdater
  19. sysUpdater will ask you if you are sure you want to go ahead with the update; choose to accept it.
    • It will also tell you that you shouldn't be in Gateway mode, or have firmware spoofing. Do not worry about this, DEVMODE / PASTA MODE has no firmware spoofing, so sysUpdater will work as intended. Just be absolutely sure you are in DEVMODE / PASTA MODE (line 13), not RXMODE SYSNAND!
  20. Wait for sysUpdater to finish. When it is done, your 3DS will reboot into 9.0 or 9.2 firmware! You can now follow the steps to use Menuhax if you'd like.

OK current situation.

O3DSXL Sysnand 4.1
I use Gateway cards and have Emunand 10.3.

Been working fine have some 3ds/3dz and cia of full retail games they work fine.

Wanted to play some old Zelda games from custom cia's found online, whenever I try to boot these they all just display a black screen (same for a copy of Zelda four swords anniversary) does GW emuNAND not work for these cia's? do I need to change/add an additional CFW? If so how can I keep all my savedata's (I have savedatafiler installed) and Nintendo ID stuff across from GW emuNAND or do I need to install or patch something somewhere?

On my emuNAND 10.3 o3dsxl, how can I stop an automatic firmware update from possibly happening now this is all set up? Is that something I need to worry about?

I want to import a few Sky3DS savegames (.SAV) to my console to use them with my .CIA installed games. I've read this guide, but haven't got a clue of what I should do.

Any help would be appreciated.

When a legit CIA is installed on a 10.3 (no emunand, or downgrading to 9.2 or CFW involved), what happens if someone tries to system transfer the 3DS with legit CIA to another 3DS?

Also, what happens when you sign up for an NNID on a console with the legit CIAs installed? Will it refuse to associate the NNID with the legit CIA?

the games will not transfer as they have no ticket

the games will not link as they have no ticket
