I got Cubic Ninja as well. It may seem like a stupid question (because it is), but I'm not sure just how up to date is the information available.
9.6? If I'm not mistaken, you're out of luck with Gateway. Dunno about Sky3ds or QQ. Supercard dsTwo works fine for DS games.
With gateway, you could download any update in CIA form and install it without the need for the eshop.
He wouldn't even had to do that, as 9.6 is pretty new so if he have his N3DS since the launch, he would had the time to update emunand to 9.5, connect to eshop and download the updates and play his retail card on emunand. But yeah, as you said, even without the eshop, the updates can still be installed as.cia files. @NEO117 : Yeah, N3DS 9.0 and Cubic Ninja is a yes Just be sure to not update emunand as 9.6 is not supported yet, stay on 9.0, which change near nothing (except no eshop but you can still install the game updates, as said upper).
Thank You all. You've been very helpful to this noobity noobity noob I'll proceed to shower with more information.
