So i have to:
1) setup emunand on his 3ds
2) update to 9.6 on emunand
3) download the update
4) extract and inject ticket.db
5) install the .cia update on the sysnand (or is already installed?)

For me it made a 2GB partition. I did use a 32GB microSD so that maybe why.

Mmm. I don't know why, maybe Gateway makes 2gb partitions when sd is larger than 16gb? Check with a partition manager the size of the partition. I think the 32gbs sd is not 32gb it's a bit less. But I don't know.

i have a small feature request, when installing a bunch of CIA's at once with X (i had downloaded the entire 9.2 update with 3DNUS)
when it gets to one that is already installed it tells you it's already installed and says press start to continue.
however it doesn't actually continue it just gives up there and doesn't install any further CIA's the rest after that one have to be installed individually.

you could instead have pressing start actually continue and install next cia press b to cancel, or hold select+X to install all cia's skipping errors.
it's not a big deal i know i could not try to install those CIA's in the first place, or simply install them all individually but it did brick my EMUnand when i thought it had finished.

A question.

A friend of mine is selling is 3ds XL smash bros edition that he used pretty nothing.
I tried it and i would like to buy it, but is on 9.2 and Super smash bros 3ds is not updated, so he cannot connect to the nintendo wifi to play.

It's possible to download the title update and install it without upgrading the console?
You'll need to format the SD card with emunand via the gateway menu, then update emunand by going into gateway mode or rxmode and going to settings (Make sure you are on GW3D or RX-E). one you are updated you can access the eshop and download the update.

BUT. the thing is I did this and now the only time I can play Smash is if I am on Emunand because Smash has an anti-save-backup thing in the coding. It's kinda confusing to be honest.

It's not likely I'll ever allow skipping all errors, but I just uploaded a new version that continues when it encounters "Already exists" errors.

I have a N3DS running 9.0 fw on sysnand. I don't have a GW, but have a copy of Cubic Ninja. With this method, would I be able to safely install and run "clean", preinstalled/universal CIAs?

Yes, you'll be pleased to know you can install your universally pirate-able games if you run FBI via Ninjhax.

It should only need space for the installation. FBI feeds received data directly to AM for installation.

Awesome.

Any idea how I could make it go faster than ~300 KiB/s?

EDIT: Nevermind, the transfer seems to randomly crash and installation then fails with Misaligned size (0x3f2) error.

Thanks. That should be sufficient for installing FW updates using 3DNUS files. The overwrite feature might still have a use if you were trying to make a hybrid 4.5 for the N3DS, but this is good for now. So, does anyone with a hard mod want to test going from 4.5 to 9.2 on SysNAND? I'd be surprised if PBT makes it, but Ninjhax might. Not that I need it to work. I have a Sky3DS, so I can do it the safe way. I'm just curious to see if it will work.

What CIA is it? Usually misaligned size is a problem with the CIA file.
