If I play online or my 3DS wifi is on, is this possible, or how do I put security measures in place to ensure this doesn't occur.
Thank you once again, and again... xD

You can turn parental control on, this means you will have to type a PIN to update the firmware. You can also do a system format if you get the update nag.
Rule 1. Never let anyone else use it without posting a cash bond especially a sibling.If I play online or my 3DS wifi is on, is this possible, or how do I put security measures in place to ensure this doesn't occur.

Awesome, thanks. System format won't change my fw, browser vers. or anything like that, will it?
Rule 1. Never let anyone else use it without posting a cash bond especially a sibling.
Rule 2. It will not update itself, you must press accept on the screen. Don't blindly press yes on pop ups.
Rule 3. Use openDNS or one of several other methods to block update servers.
Rule 4. Do not put it in sleep mode with wireless on and it will never download the update.
Rule 5. Be careful when outside the house as ATT hotspots and Nintendo Zones will download the update even if you have no wifi connections set up. (Personal experience with this)
Rule 6. Never let a cart update. Just say no.
Rule 7. Make a NAND backup before you do anything else with the system! Do it now!
Rule 8. Don't buy a travel case just wrap it in a double layer of heavy duty Reynolds aluminum foil and put on your tin foil hat and be proud. (actually, please don't do this especially the hat.)

There should not be. I have not experienced that exact scenario, but with other games as long as the systems are on the minimum required FW for the game even download play will not require an update.Is there a risk if I play a local pokémon game with a friend on a 3ds latest firmware and me on emunand 9.5 (n3ds) ?

If you boot into recovery with the update nag it should delete it from ever showing up again. After that it's just a matter of not doing any cart updates or accessing eshop while not spoofed.
Also you should backup your nand just incase since you have cubic ninja
This is partly true, any game that requires download play from the DLP app will ask to update to your friends FW (personal experience) but any game like Pokemon or Monster Hunter where you connect from In-Game is safe.There should not be.

How do I backup my NAND with Cubic Ninja? Is there a point, and is it possible doing it when you're on 9.5 (old 3DS) and 9.7 (new 3DS)?
Well, that's new... Are you absolutely sure nothing else caused the black screen? Also, was there some of message before/after it happend (such as "We will now brick your 3DS. Greetings, Nintendo )?This is not true for N3DS. If the update nag appears, it will update automatically when you leave it on. Mine updated after 2 or 3 weeks. I was very surprised because I was too lazy to remove the updatenag from emunand (you have to restore a old backup and eventually reinstall everything) and suddenly I got a blackscreen after waking the N3DS up. Noone else involved and Im not stupid to update that thing.
A solution for me was to block those fw-updates by blocking the ip-address of nintendos update server within my router.
BTW parental controls for stopping fw-updates don't work anymore since 4.5.x+
Not with Cubic Ninja. Use GWs launcher.dat instead. And yes, that works without actually owning the GW card.How do I backup my NAND with Cubic Ninja? Is there a point, and is it possible doing it when you're on 9.5 (old 3DS) and 9.7 (new 3DS)?

well firstly it won't just automatically update, i have left the nag screen up for hours (i turned on the 3DS and just left it on the side while i went out and it hadn't magically updated on my return)This is not true for N3DS.

No it won't, I have the update nag on my emunand since the 9.6 update and it still didn't update by itself. You or someone else must have done something.
I've had an update on my emunand since I bought the console in March or April.
I've left it on in my pocket walking to work/train and never had it update itself. I just press b when it asks once a day.
edit: yeah it's a new 3ds.
