Will this help towards achieving 9.5+ N3DS emuNAND on existing 9.2 systems?
I think it should. I remember reading that we needed either the keys or a kernel exploit on a higher firmware to get that.
(Take this with a grain of salt)

Gateway team is our best hope, i think that in a couple of days they will announce they are working on it , then they will upload a video saying that they are testing it and finally they will release it with some Downgrade file sets :grog:

This is good news assuming whom ever discovered memchunkhax2 ever releases it. Users on 9.3 (and perhaps 9.4. I don't recall when the arm9 exploit was patched. But it was NOT patched in 9.3. Only the Arm11 exploit was!) can possibly have an exploitable system now (that won't involve downgrading).

As for the rest of us. SNSHax and memchunkhax2 pretty much means that a whole lot of retail n3DSes still on the shelves are suddenly exploitable now. Even though there isn't a new Arm9 exploit past 9.3/9.4 (though it's not usable past 9.2 until memchunkhax2 is public). So it may get a lot easier to find a n3DS you can exploit once this is public. Once you have Arm11 you can downgrade the system to 9.2. Of coarse n3DS users still will be stuck with a emunand on 9.5 since new key for encrypted arm9 hasn't been found/leaked yet.

I don't own a n3DS and my 3DS XL which is in the pawn shop right now is already exploitable. Still good news to hear though. :D

Weren't we literally just told the equation we can use to figure out the key? Because I'm pretty sure once someone does that equation it's only gonna be a day or two before we can update N3DS emuNAND to current firmware.

That would be great if that is the case. Either way look to early 2016 to see what comes of this. I'd imagine Gateway might try and be the first to find and code something using the new exploits. I wouldn't be surprised if Gateway started including 9.2 downgrade packs for the n3DS with a special loader to be used on the newer firmwares so that the console can be downgraded. Especially since Nintendo pulled older firmwares from their NUS servers now. :P
