I have noted that you stated homebrew and emuNAND are independent things, however, may I please clarify whether or not I need to boot into emuNAND to install browserhax?
Furthermore, if you were in my position and wanted to do both, would you update emuNAND to the latest version first and then meddle with homebrew afterwards or vice versa?
Thanks once again.
(GW3D 9.2.0-20E and sysNAND 4.5.0-10E)
Why would you want homebrew on Emunand just to update it? I'm pretty sure you can update Emunand through System Settings just fine. Just double check that you can and then try to update it.
Oh, maybe I missed it, but are you using N3DS or O3DS?
O3DS because N3DS came out at around fw 8.1.0
