What do these two things do? I couldn't find a clear explanation, but is one just an emulation of nand and the other the system's nand?
Well, there is one way back from a sysnand update. A previous sysnand backup and hardware mod.Basically the System Nand is the one you want to keep between 4.x and 4.5.
The emuNand, as the name suggests, emulates a real nand, by running off the SD Card in a seperate partition.
The emunand is then updated to the wanted firmware (such as 9.4 currently), as this NAND is able to be erased and re-created at will - with backups, ofcourse.
Once the System NAND has been updated there is no going back, which is why the emuNand was created, so people can have the content from the latest firmware on an older System firmware, without the hassle of updating, since gateway/other 3DS carts don't support > 4.5 firmware currently (Sky3DS is an exception, yes, but it does not use emuNand).

This bump...How do you install this sysnand and emunand on the 3ds? Can't figure this out
This bump...
Anyway, SysNAND is basically all the system files on your 3DS. Every 3DS have it (otherwise the console would not be able to boot), and it is stored on the "NAND" (a internal storage)
Anyway, to install emuNAND (which is basically a copy of your sysNAND on your SD card), you need a 3DS on an exploitable firmware (9.2 or less).
If you have one, you can set up a CFW to create your emuNAND. I would recommend RXTools if you have an Old 3DS (3DS / 3DS XL / 2DS) or ReiNAND if you have a New 3DS / New 3DS XL. Here is the tutorial for ReiNAND and here is the one for RXTools.
If your console is on 9.3 or newer, however... You can't set up an emuNAND :/
Google needs to be you friend sir. Just look up 3ds custom firmware tutorial bro.How do you install this sysnand and emunand on the 3ds? Can't figure this out
Sysnand is not on your SD card bro, it's in the system itself and Emunand is a partition on your SD card that is a emulated Sysnand that can't be just accessed through file explorer. The files on the SD card are the games and extra data needed for apps.Thank you SO Much for this. That was incredibly easy to understand.
Here's my next question. If Sysnand is on every 3ds by default, can't I just install NTR CFW 3.1 on the sd card like that? The guide says to install NTR CFW 3.1 on Emunand OR Sysnand. Doesn't that mean I can just drag the NTR.bin file over to the SD card (which turns out to be Sysnand itself) and install the CFW that way? To clarify I'm not looking to pirate games. Just want to use the MHX english translation patch on a retail copy of MHX I already own.

Cubic Ninja is a game, that (is) can be used to launch the Homebrew Launcher. However, you have "plenty" of other ways to launch the HBL; you can go on http://smealum.github.io/3ds/ to check if you can launch it using one of those methodsHrmm ok things are becoming much more clear. One more quick question. What is Cubic ninja? I can't tell if it's an app that I have by default on my 3ds since it's in japanese, or something else. The tutorial for ninja hax says I need it.

Well, the 3DS never updates automatically. It will download the update while in sleep mode, and then prompt a message on the home menu everytime you boot the console. If you click on "はい" (yes), it'll take you to the system preferences and update. If you click on "いいえ" (no), it'll not update.Do i have to be worried about my 3ds automatically updating when i connect it to the Internet for some of these installations? It's in Japanese so i worry it'll happen without me realizing.

If you got the nag, you can remove it by turning off your console, and then turn it on again while holding L+R+A+UP (iirc). It will show the update menu: click on the bottom left button, and the update data will be removed from your system. Then, set up TubeHax DNS to prevent your console from contactin Nintendo's servers, and you should be safe.
You can always use the Internet browser on less than the most recent version as long as you are on 9.8 or lower (over 9.9 and it will ask you to update).Man. Really can't thank you enough for your help with all of this. I don't know what a nag is so i most likely don't have it. It's great to know it won't automatically update on me either. However for some of the installation guide, it says i need to use the 3ds Internet browser. Will it stop me from using it saying i need to update first?
