Disney Magical World on a N2DS XL with latest CFW per the 3DS guide.

Game, update, and DLC CIAs all from that reputable source and all same region as console. Game works fine but just doesn't seem to acknowledge DLC. Is this a peculiarity of this one title, perhaps, or are there some specific caveats for installing DLC? FBI lists everything for the game normally. The one or two other titles I've installed with DLC have worked fine as far as I'm aware.

Is there any requirements in game as to getting to a certain point to use said dlc?

Yes, there is. You have to get 16 "stickers" which then unlocks an NPC that allows you to buy DLC from inside the game. When you open that NPC's DLC option, it says "preparing system something something, do not turn off or remove SD card", and then you see the list of DLC to buy. After that "preparing system" occurs, a separate title shows up in the list of installed titles (different from the previously installed DLC title).

I've only ever tried it by installing everything (including DLC) from the beginning. I wonder if playing to 16, then talking to the NPC and going through that preparing system thing, and then installing the DLC would change anything? Removing the DLC via FBI and re-adding it at this point does not seem to do anything.
