(I am somewhat lacking in understanding with unlinked emuNAND and purchases with it, so if something sounds off or wrong, just correct me.)
So I was planning on purchasing SmileBasic, which comes out in less than a week, but having tinkered with the Japanese version, the app (with update) requires a firmware version more recent than my current sysNAND is set at (9.2). Chances are the NA version will require a higher version right out of the gate (and possibly even a more recent one to upload/download through the app). I can spoof my 3DS to get into the eShop and make the purchase (or so I think), but when it comes to actually running it, I wouldn't be able to with my sysNAND.
I could run it in my unlinked emuNAND, but I haven't purchased anything through that because I fear (and this is because of my lack of understanding of how emuNAND operates regarding purchases) that it wouldn't actually be tied with my system. Thought about making the purchase on sysNAND, and then installing a CIA on emuNAND, but then because of download/uploading in the app, it may be looking for something meant to exist in sysNAND because that's where the purchase is. Thought, as a last resort, I could make a new emuNAND based on my sysNAND after the purchase is made.
Sure someone understands this much better than I do, so please, if you know what I can do with a purchase like this on a 9.2 sysNAND with a 9.9 emuNAND, I'd appreciate some insight.
Also, is it ok to update my emuNAND to the latest firmware?
