ok then you should be able to use updatecdn to download 4.5 for your region, and then use edittmd to mass edit the whole directory to make all the versions FFFF.
i think nus3ds/3dsnus can do all of that in a gui though (but i'm assuming you are on windows so that is ok), try it out :)
then just install the cia files
Thank you, that worked perfectly!

Say, do you know how to tell the version number of each update?

see the version number of each title (title's tmd)?
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, see the titles' versions, in case I want to set the version in NUS3DS just a little higher than that of the current fw, rather than FFFF.

you can use EditTMD, changing the version manually for each one, no super neat solution now for what you want to do, sorry

So, I wonder if this will work from on the new 3DS. Once the new exploit is out I'll try and use the update files to see if I can move my JAP New 3DS over to USA. That'd be convienent.

you can try, but really you shoudl have read the op, and other posts maybe, it is not possible to change region (so simply/like this, sure, it is technically possible). of course you can try for yourself if you want, if you believe you will be able to do it differently

So... Anyone successfully changed region?

installing a cia will not change the region, the region is stored on the nand.
i had an idea when i released updatecdn about, changing the region you want to change to's title's, to your region's titleids, even if it would work it would be terribly hacky. :)

Has anybody tried using these to update sysNAND? I've got a N3DS on 9.0.0 that I'd like to take to 9.2.0

it's possible to do yes, you can install on sysnand and have it fine. there is a bit of risk, just incase you make a mistake. but if you do everything right i think it is ok. i don't really recommend it because i don't want anything to go wrong, 'better safe than sorry'. but if you are desperate, go for it.
but, at the moment you can't even install cias/have anything hack thing on n3ds. :)

Does this install firm properly? I remember something about GW blocking firm installs.

well, by 'this', if you mean devmenu/devmenu via gw, sure, i and a few other people actually used the cias to upgrade emunand/sysnand.

Thanks for your hard work :). I'll give it a go when the Gateway update is released!
