I just spent about 3 and a half hours trying to figure out how to mod my new 3ds xl, and change the region because I bought it from Japan. Sadly; all the videos are outdated now. Thank you so much! This was overall the simplest and fastest way to do both!
Glad i could help:) could not find a video about two years ago when i tried doing this myself. Firty japanese 3ds consoles later i decided to make a video😅
Is it possible to region change the N3ds after already doing a region change? Like Japan -> EU -> USA. It'd be cool to have my actual region in Mii Plaza since it currently only has EU, which makes sense since it is in that current region after the first region swap from Japan. Great Video btw, worked smoothly for me!
@@RetroBoyy do you have a tutorial for this? or any tips on doing the region change to the US? I followed everything in this tutorial with no problems (great vid btw, best one out there) and only realized it's been set in the EU after.
If you want to change just because it says eu then dont. There is a chance of bricking and nothing will change. It is region unlocked either way. Only thing that will change is the region letters in settings.
@@RetroBoyy @RetroBoyy what if I still wanted to do it anyway? There are some games that I'd like to play in the US version because of its differences. Is the bricking chance something that we can't control and just happens randomly or do we just have to make sure to do it right?
If my Japan 2ds LL is already modded but not region changed yet, I want to region change it now, what files do I need from this to perform the region change ?
Can you still use Pokemon bank once the homebrew is installed after changing region? Lots of people where saying pokemon bank wasnt able to be used once youve modded these ?
You need a different file. EU and USA versions are basically the same since they are modded and have no region lock. So i do not recommend region changing to USA
Hey i got to the home brew launcher and it says the 3ds file could not be found Please Help i dont want to cancel or go to home idk if it will brick itself
The file arm11code.bin is missing or misplaced. Make sure to copy the files of the latest version of super-skaterhax for your region and version to the root of your SD card (not inside of a folder).
great vid, easy and straight to the point. When I scan the code and hit "go go" instead of doing the exploit i get an error message. "an error has occurred. if there is any software being played, immediately save the data and turn off the power." (translated with google lens). After clearing the cookies and, turning off the new 3ds XL, I still get the same issue during that step. please help.
@@TheWiiStaff it took me a while to find, but its in the troubleshoot section on the hack site. The issue I found was that I actually skipped a step on the saving as a favorite, clearing the cache or something, going back, closing it, and opening it and so on. I suggest you do everything from the start to the T. slow down the video and pause it you have to. Hope this works for you and good luck.
@5:47 What is the reason for deleting this file? Is it absolutely crucial? I seen a couple other videos and havent seen anyone else do it so im super curious as for why haha
can i region swap again if i want? i want to go back to japanese region and use pokemon bank, i must use the nand backup or use a japanese ctrtransfer to make it work?
twilight menu wont work anymore i get an error like this an error has Occurred: Unable to mount CTRNAND or load the CTRNAND FIRM Please use an external one. Press any button to shutdown . I used the TWL fix but nothing works
hello! i accidentally used the eshop instead of download play at 6:52, when i got to 8:20 i could not see where to install and delete all cias. am i screwed?
Hey just install it normaly. I have a tutorial on How to do that on my channel Sorry i dont do calls. If i did i whould be bussy every second of the day helping People on UA-cam😅
Does this video also has the luma installed or not ? I just got a new 3ds and im trying to mod this but i need luma to switch the yellowing on the top screen
question , sorry if its stupid ive notice alot of people are changing the region to the European version , is it just better then united states ? or its the same thing because its English ?
Its the same thing. Both are region unlocked so it does not matter if its the region eur or usa. I just like to pick one so there is not confusion for the viewers
@@RetroBoyy once i do the mod for region change and play ds games on my japan new 3ds xl I can just insert my ds us cartridge into the system and it will play fine right?

Thank you for your vid!
Bought a Japanese 3ds and this guide proved to work, Thanks!
Glad I could help!
I am trying this Soon its very easy
so this wouldn't work with the old style japenese 2DS, running the same fireware ay?
No you need to follow another tutorial that i have out. Just follow the one that does not have «new» in the title

I second this! I'd also love to know if there's a way to change from EU to USA.
Yes

Just delete everything from your sd card and upload everything from the files from the bio. Then follow what i do right after installing luma
@@RetroBoyy delete everything? Are you sure that won’t brick it or do anything to the system ?
Yes
@@RetroBoyy I did this, my 3ds xl is region changed but my Homebrew apps are gone and i still have the Rosalina menu. how do I move forward
Can you still use Pokemon bank once the homebrew is installed after changing region? Lots of people where saying pokemon bank wasnt able to be used once youve modded these ?
You can mod but Im not sure if it works after region changing
so at 7:23 do you have to go into that same section on the homebrew thing again or did it already do what it needed too before/after crashing
Retry
@RetroBoyy okay thanks!
Hi, how to bookmark webpage on 3ds ll ? Its looks like different on my console. Cheers
This does not work on old 3ds Xl. And it had to be updated to the latest version.
during the region change part, I only got EU, how do I get the USA version?
You need a different file. EU and USA versions are basically the same since they are modded and have no region lock. So i do not recommend region changing to USA
Hey i got to the home brew launcher and it says the 3ds file could not be found Please Help i dont want to cancel or go to home idk if it will brick itself

Take out the battery

Boom

@5:47
What is the reason for deleting this file?
Is it absolutely crucial?
I seen a couple other videos and havent seen anyone else do it so im super curious as for why haha
I looked at the 3DS hacks guide and got the info there. Still kinda confusing but also makes sense ig.
If you dont then big games wont work
@@RetroBoyy i really wonder how they figured that one out 😭
@@RetroBoyyfollowed tutorial, all went well. Thank you.
can i region swap again if i want? i want to go back to japanese region and use pokemon bank, i must use the nand backup or use a japanese ctrtransfer to make it work?
Hello yes just crt transfer
@@RetroBoyy alright! thanks a lot, i loved the video but i want to use pokemon bank hahaha, i will follow the steps again
An error message appears when i try doing 3:53 saying that i need to turn off my 3ds
please help idk what to do
Is all the files in a folder
@@TheWiiStaff i got it fixed in hb discord
@Zenarack congrats enjoy your 3ds then!!
twilight menu wont work anymore i get an error like this an error has Occurred:
Unable to mount CTRNAND or load the CTRNAND FIRM
Please use an external one.
Press any button to shutdown . I used the TWL fix but nothing works
You have to delete everything. All traces of it Even on the sd card. Then reinstall
@@RetroBoyy so do I reformat the device and just keep it in Japan region
It gives me an error
What if I just modded my 3ds but now I want to change the region language I can play my us games on it but everything else is still in Japanese
copy all the files he said over your old files and follow last few steps around 5 minute mark
found it…
hello! i accidentally used the eshop instead of download play at 6:52, when i got to 8:20 i could not see where to install and delete all cias. am i screwed?
Hey, just reinstall all the files from the description of the video and you should be good
@@RetroBoyy im unable to find the hshop, would reinstalling the files fix that? if not would you be willing to get on discord call to help me out?
Hey just install it normaly. I have a tutorial on How to do that on my channel
Sorry i dont do calls. If i did i whould be bussy every second of the day helping People on UA-cam😅
@@RetroBoyy i understand thank you so much im in a bit of a panic right now lol
@@RetroBoyy could you possibly link me to the video to do it normally? cheers
How can you mod a english new 3ds xl pls ? Its already english
I have another tutorial on my channel
Does this video also has the luma installed or not ? I just got a new 3ds and im trying to mod this but i need luma to switch the yellowing on the top screen
Switch yellowing means?
When you mod it you install luma so yes
Is it the same process as of today or has the method changed
Same process. I will remove this video if it at any time stops working.
question , sorry if its stupid
ive notice alot of people are changing the region to the European version , is it just better then united states ? or its the same thing because its English ?
Its the same thing. Both are region unlocked so it does not matter if its the region eur or usa. I just like to pick one so there is not confusion for the viewers
Oh ok thank you , I was so confused haha
Thanks loved the video btw
if I already have cfw then what should i do?
Upload the files from the bio to your sd card and do what i do after installing luma
Can I still system transfer after region change?
No clue
I believe that i read its not possible.
But if your main concern is save files transfer, you could always use checkpoint.
How long it takes the colors screen? Because my console it still on a red screen
Turn off and retry
I cant find North American region somebody help me
North american? Just use usa
when i tried to download the CIA's it said download failed how do i fix that

Use a different file
it would not let me download the hshop and homebrew launcher and est and it keep showing the error code 0xD900458A
does this method still work? my 3ds is coming in the mail this week.
Yes
@@RetroBoyy once i do the mod for region change and play ds games on my japan new 3ds xl I can just insert my ds us cartridge into the system and it will play fine right?
Bro I was so lazy I ended up buying a listing on eBay for a jp new 3ds xll that’s been modded, region free, games installed and a 256g memory card lol
Smart:) How much did you pay?
@@RetroBoyy £160
@@RetroBoyy is £160 a good price?
Yes
Nvm I tried it and it worked
What was the fix
@NoahDowd-u1u don't put it all in a folder just leave the files separate
The fix is basically follow the tutorial
Hey I did it but homebru luncher didn't show up
What showed up?
hello . i have 3dsxl animal crossing edition include edition but korea region lock. if i mode region language .will i lose the game? thankyou
Yes
@@RetroBoyy thank you..
But since its modded you can install it for free again
Is this region change only from japan to europe?
Yes. It does not matter if its Europe or USA. Because they are region unlocked anyways so you can play games from all regions.
where do i get the qr codes?
You’re supposed to scan the qr code off of the video not look for its link 👍
3ds Modding website
Can I skip the godmode step if mine is in English already?
Yes ofcourse. Never thought someone whould use this as just a Modding tutorial😅
Can you make a straight up modding vid for the new 3/2ds xl ? This is like the most current one yt thanks a ton
Hey Hey, thank you for this video. I get to around 3:47, when I go to open the "homebrew" my New 3ds modded crashes before homebrew
Retry and make sure you have followed the tutorial correctly
