Hello, all!

I own an o3ds and have done all I could have asked for with it and am now in the market for a new 3ds.
I live in the U.S. where Nintendo thinks a smaller unit would have confused me as a consumer, so I am now ordering from overseas. I will probably be ordering a PAL version, however, this raises some concerns:

1. I am aware that I can run a U.S. emunand on the console, however, I know that I can not run emunand past 9.5. Will I lose the ability to play online games as a result?

2. In regards to the region changed emunand, is there a way I can access eshop despite my emunand only being 9.5?

3. Aside from emunand, I am considering swapping the sysnand region to U.S. I know this will result in the loss of eshop access and system transfer. Would accessing eshop be possible if I were to run an emunand on top of this?

I had a lot more questions last night when I was reading, though I have forgotten most of them with sleep. I will edit this post to include more questions if I can remember them. I apologize if this is worded poorly, my thoughts are all jumbled at the minute.

Long story short: Want a PAL/JAP region new 3ds with U.S. emunand or sysnand. What things will I not have access to performing a region swap via emunand/ sysnand and is there a way around that? Thank you!

I think you will lose access to the eShop on a region swapped console but there might be ways around it (spoofs etc)
If you want to import an n3ds I can buy one and send it to you (Aus pal).

Wow, really?? That would be so awesome of you. Thank you for the offer. I'm still on the fence though because I'm not entirely sure what my restrictions would be using a non-US region here... I'm just worried I'll be really gimping myself by buying a PAL version. Would you be able to get a 9.0-9.2??

Yeah most new ones have 9.0-9.2
