do i need RXTools decryption to play the newest games? also is it even possible to play online with only 9.5 emunand?Depends on how many features you actually want / need.
If you only want emuNAND (only up to 9.5 on N3DS) and sig checks patched for CIA installation then actually Rei and Cakes will do ... NTR is a nice addon to them.
But if you realy need FEATURES as in function which are not FW related, then you can also go for the latest nightly of RXTools, which comes with decryption, xorpad generation and emuNAND creation function afaik ??? Someone has to correct me on that if I'm wrong.

Do any of the CFW allow roms to be played from a flashcard like Supercard or Gateway or is it only .cia files?
Im about to download RXTools. Does my SD card need to be clean or something? I've got a lot of homebrew and android phone stuff on itYou need RXTools decryption function to make XORpads for your 3DS ROMs, so you can convert them into a CIA file. Or you can use other apps like Decrypt9 to do that if you decide against RXTools to do the job.
You can play with 9.5 emuNAND online, but you would have to get the game updates as CIA from a different source, because you can only get them from the eShop which you can access from 9.5 anymore.
But afaik there is this Multi Free tool or something which allows you to access the eShop from a 9.5 emuNAND??? You would have to check on that.
Nope...for CFW users CIA files are the only format to play 3DS games. .3ds files are for Gateway 3DS and/or Sky3DS(+).
