Hi everyone, as the titke says i have some questions regarding the whole process.
I have read plailects guide and other threads, but maybe i have read to much, so i just want to make sure i understood everything right.
I have a New 3DSXL on FW 9.0.xxx
I will be following Plailects Guide -> https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Homebrew-Launcher-(Browser)
I have only installed the golden zelda theme over the standard black theme with homebrew tools.
Can this make problems and i should revert back to standard theme before i go further ?
And i have already menuhax installed, so i can start homebrew menu when pressing left shoulder button when booting (I was a gateway user before).
So apart from all files needed i will skip the parts with initializing theme data, setting date/time and initializing sace data for browser, correct ?
And i do NOT need to update to 9.2, correct ?
Then i do my Nand minimum backup.
Now i will continue with plailect -> https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Installing-arm9loaderhax
So basically i will do all the prep work as file copying, renaming etc until step 19 on the page i mentioned last.
Then step 19 -> delete extdata (EUR Region Folder 00000098) should be correct ?
Now i just start homebrew launcher and follow these steps according to plailects guide correct ?
Thats what i have in mind:
Following still the guide, now Section III: Configuring Luma3DS:
"Autoboot SysNAND" -> Here i will choose Emunand right ?
"Use SysNAND FIRM if booting with R (A9LH)" -> Again i can choose Emunand right ?
"Show NAND or user string in System Settings" -> This is for checking in settings, if i am on correct nand if i plan on updating my Emunand right ?
I will not use injected GBA titles, nor i will overclock my new3ds. So i can leave standard options for these and save and reboot right ?
So now i should be at the stage, where i can restore my Emunand from my OLD3DS right (if possible without risk of bricking though) ?
So switching to guide -> https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki/Move-EmuNAND
I plan on making a new Sysnand Backup on New 3DSXL and an Emunand Backup on my OLD3DSXL.
Then i will backup the whole MicroSD from my New3DS XL on my PC.
I will not do step 6 -> restore sysnand from nand_emu.bin, correct ?
So i will now continue with step 11 and onwards, correct ?
On step 14 i will choose -> "Format SD with Emunand", correct so far ?
Then copy the microsd card backup files (sysnand files and folders) on my pc back to the formatted microsd card. hope i am still correct here.
Then i will restore my OLD3DS Emunand with Hourglass9 over the existing emunand partition, right ?
Then again copy the sd backup contents of the OLD3DS Emunand to the microSD card of the New3DS.
After rebooting normaly i should end up in emunand because i choose autoboot emunand before, correct ?
So that was the first part of my goals.
Now on to the second: I still want to be able to use my Gateway, because of cheats and abilty to run .3ds games because this gives me more space for games, because of the micro sd card in the gateway.
So i will just follow this guide -> http://gbatemp.net/threads/tutorial-using-luma3ds-with-gateway-on-v2-a9lh.431691/
The first Part obviously woth that Gateway Logo, correct ?
This way i also do not need to inject the FBI manager right ? because i can boot into gateway and use my cia installers which i have as .3ds files, i really hope i am correct here too
So i do not need to hassle with health&saftey injecting stuff, correct ?
So when starting normally, i should end up always in luma3ds on my emunand and pressing dpad down while booting i should end up in gateway mode, again with my same emunand, am i correct ?
So now to the last part of what i want to achieve: Because i hate farming in games, because i have not much time for gaming in general, i want to play xenoblade with cheats. There are only cheats for xenoblade on NTR.
So i plan on doing the last parts of the plailect guide too, i will just do this part:
"To use NTR CFW, get ntr.bin from the appropriate zip on this page and copy it to the root of your SD card, then install BootNTR.cia from this page."
So if i understand right, i can boot normaly into Luma3DS with emunand and then start NTR, is that correct ? From here i could start xenoblade with cheats enabled right ?
Never hassled with NTR so far, but i hope i will land again on my same Emunand after starting NTR. Is that right ?
So after i achieved all the above, then i can read into cheating xenoblade with ntr, maybe i will have a few questions again, but will read as much as i can before i will bother you all
Hope you have read my massive text, many thanks for reading thoroughly and i would be very happy if you will answer my questions and/or confirm if i understood everything right
If i can wipe modding my new3dsxl from my todo list i will be well prepared for halloween if there is really something in the works for my dusty old wii u
Cheers everyone

- Launch SafeA9LHInstaller
- If you get a glitched screen, follow this troubleshooting guide
- Press (Select) to Full Install
- The installer will now install arm9loaderhax on your device (this is very fast)
- Shut down your console, hold the power button until it turns off if necessary
