Now that 9.2 support is right around the corner for Gateway, I've been thinking about how I'm going to update my 4.4 3ds with 9.2 emuNAND to a native 9.2 while keeping all of my games (and ideally saves as well.) Yes, I know Gateway told us to stay on 4.x, and I intend to, but if Gateway gives us the greenlight to update to 9.2 so we'll be able to play all our GBA and DSi games I want to be ready.
Here's the deal: I system transferred data from my old 3DS to the emuNAND of my 3DS XL. The account associated with my native NAND is different than the account associated with my emuNAND. Titles from emuNAND do not appear on the native NAND menu. If I update native NAND, what will happen? Will Nintendo in the process realize the native NAND's account is defunct and update the 3DS to the new account? Will Nintendo throw out my emuNAND account with all of my legitimate downloads + ambassador games that I own? Even if it goes without a hitch, will I be able to somehow hold onto my saves?
I can think of one workaround. If I can get a spare 3DS, I can transfer from my emuNAND to that 3DS, factory reset the original 3DS XL, and then transfer back to the original 3DS XL. That would involve wiping the data of the spare 3DS though, and I'm not sure my friends would be too happy with that.
