EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have a sky3DS if that helps.

If you have Cubic Ninja, you can use Pasta CFW to do all that

Get PastaCFW to install CIAs and shit

maybe region change, will be good too
unless u read japanese

He's on a -0 firmware.

-0 means no browser, i.e. no ninjhax, i.e. no PastaCFW.

Unless something has changed that I'm unaware of, I suggest using gateway's launcher (no gateway card required) to make a backup of your 8.1 firmware and then following this guide to upgrade to 9.2 https://gbatemp.net/threads/guide-upgrading-8-1-0-0j-to-9-2-0-20j.384960/

can I just update it to 9.2 with a game that comes with that update or something like that? I forgot to mention that I also have a sky3ds if that helps, thanks!

Get a Gateway, downgrade you're n3ds to 4.0, put cubic ninja on you're gateway card and then experience homebrew(:

NO!! DO NOT DO THIS! You get bricked if you downgrade n3ds

get a gateway or sky3ds or cubic ninja

Is it possible to get homebrew on emuNAND?

Unfortunately there are no Japanese games that come with 9.2. Even if there were, game updates do not include the browser.

You can use your sky3ds to run a Japanese Cubic Ninja rom for NTR CFW and my pre-setup copy of the files (note this sends your 3DS serial/etc to my server, I do not log them). Many people have successfully done this.

It is of critical importance that you first make a backup of your current 8.1 nand using gateway's launcher before attempting anything. That will be your only way to recover if anything goes wrong.
