I recently bought a new New 3DS, and discovered with luck it was on an old 9.9 version of some sort. After some nerve-wracking work, I now have a CFW'd 3DS through which I can play games without worrying about regions. However, I am still having some problems and I can't seem to find a solution. I'm not sure if I'm just not searching for the right thing.
I'm not sure where the actual issue is, so I'll explain what I'm trying to do:
I have two OFW 11.1 old 3DSes - one for EU/AUS/NZ, and one for the US. The new 3DS is EU, but I can play US carts now because of Luma3DS. (And also had the old EU 3DS profile system transferred onto it.)
I still have the old 3DS with the US profile, and a small handful of DLC tied to the games I bought:
I found a CIA with all SMTIVA's DLC. If I install it, I can see the DLC fine on my save file. But I don't want all the DLC. However, my conclusion from that is that I can get the DLC to be recognised, but it rejects something just copypasted from another SD Card. (Due to ticket stuff I guess?) So I maybe need a way to produce my own CIA containing what I have downloaded? (Especially for other games.)
But there's still problems. When I try to go to the add-on purchase screen, I get the system error: "The add on content could not be recognised, returning to the internet connection screen..." Thus, even if I can load DLC, I cannot access the listing for more DLC.
I do apologise if I've over-explained things, so here's the tldr:

- This message appears for both SMTIV and SMTIV:A.
- EOU2 is a little different, as it gives an in-game message: "No add-on content has been released yet."
- Additionally, EOU2 claims to have an update, but downloading does nothing, and looking on the eshop it can't find it. (It is on there, but downloading it does nothing, due to regional mismatch I guess.)
I do apologise if I've over-explained things, so here's the tldr:
- I have DLC on a non-CFW different region/profile O3DS I want to access on a CFW'd N3DS.
- When I try to access DLC or get a software update, the files can't be found due to region differences. (Probably.) I'm pretty sure EOU2 and SMTIV are on the EU/AUS eshop, and yet they're not finding their files either.
- Installing a CIA of pre-packaged (not mine) DLC works fine, but doesn't really solve the problem.
- I'm not sure what Luma3DS's DLC-supporting function is actually supposed to do, so as to know how I'm doing this wrong.
- My searches commonly found stuff that talked about NTR, or userland homebrew, or other things. I also see the claim that NAND altering isn't needed (or really risky) when Luma3DS can do it per-game.
- I can't seem to boot into EmuNAND (i.e. holding L regardless of setting, the version remains prefixed by "Sys"), so I don't know if a US EmuNAND would help me, but supposed risks put me off.
- I suspect if I want to copy over my DLC, I might have to CFW my US Old 3DS, then create CIAs from there. Though being able to do it from my already-CFW'd device would be nice.
- If I can create CIAs just from the SD contents and the right keys/IDs, that would be good, but most of my searches have given me programs that make no sense to me, due to directions requiring use of older CFW/homebrew.
