    Not sure if im posting this in the right section but I've basically recently obtained an old 3ds with 4.2 firmware, is it possible to run cia files without cfw? Pretty new to the scene.

    Browserhax requires to be on a 9.x firmware or higher. You should load gateway through the browser exploit on gateway's website, then install mset.

    Following this guide you'll be able to install a CFW and update your console to 9.2 too.

    Fenrir already mentioned it, but use this guide to upgrade to 9.2 and then install newer hacks

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere to specifically not update emunand because u won't be able to access back into it with new firmware

    Don't update SysNAND, EmuNAND is fine to update as long as you're using the most recent version of rxTools. Make sure you're using the right firmware files also.

    So basically download recent rxtools, boot into emunand, and just go into settings and update?
