Omg, my japanese New Nintendo 3DS LL just came in here and they didn't hold and charged the importation taxes, i even got with the better fedex mail on nippon yasan that they said it's 95% chance of it, this just can be life wanting gateway's new update to be released! It's the Illuminati
One question:
It's obligatory use .cia?
I can play online games not using .cia? What i need to have/do to play online games more than have the system updated?(consequently the emunand)
I'm worried with this because i spent so much money on Gateway+New N3DS+32gb sdcard to put on the gateway's red card that i can't buy any other sd to use to install games .cia
The N3DS LL should have a 4GB MicroSD inside. You can use that to install .CIAs (which are either Themes or Updates or, if you want, even Games themselves).

I hope you are right. I get my 3ds, DS and ps3 back tonight so that would be super awesome.
To play online for CERTAIN games (like Smash Bros, where you need the updates) yeah. Otherwise, nope.
you dont have to use .cia for anything ever. It's totally upto you. Go on youtube and watch a tutorial on it, nothing has changed so far, It'll give you a good idea.

and then i just use the .cia to update, and not to the entire game then?
Ohh, i see, so it's okay, thank you for helping guys o/
You install the .CIA through DevMenu or BigBlueMenu. It's an update. You'll run the game through the microSD found in your Gateway. At least that's what I believe.
well yeah but I was hoping for a less permanent type of solution lol. More on the lines of an actual lock that could be removed if needed.
As Phantom said, for games that need updates to play online, yes, installing as .cia is obligatory as updates come in cia form.
Other than that, this is the main difference:
.3ds files have headers. A header identifies THAT cart. if you play MY backup, then Nintendo can see that two people are playing the same CART, which is not possible. The way around this is to take a header from another game you have (even off-line game) and put it in using tools on a pc.
.cia however, uses the console header. Meaning if you install SMSB as a .cia, then that's it. make sure it's updated with another cia, and online play is available.
It's not obligatory at all, eShop update dumps are few and far between, you can get any updates you need from the eShop (which is alot safer than installing .cia updates, especially if they're not scene released) you can use .3ds or .3dz at all times just fine.
stick some cellotape around it and wedge it in......then you can yank it out with force if you really need to
