I has a game on CIA called Gyrozetter and i always saw the game logo... (the thing than appear in the up screen) broken. Then i was thinking: this its because who dumped the game did something bad... and i imported the game.
But still happen the same stuff.
This is how i should see it:

Same thing happened with the Hyrule Warriors first release, some people had the corrupted banner, and some other had the banner displayed normally, first people tought it was the N3DS version vs O3DS, but nop, some people with an O3DS displayed correctly, therefore i assume your problem is the .cia.

If i recall also correctly, that had to do with the region of the .cia and the region of your 3ds.. also see here:

@Chelsea_Fantasy wrote this:
FIX:
1-decrypt the game's executable
2-open the banner with a hex editor
3-extract the jpn-specific banner area
4-repaste it in the other region's area (remember to change adress/offsets in the header)
5-save and rebuild 3ds/cia file

Will do, once i get home ill try it and see if its the same error, the probably Luma its the one causing it, or even maybe a bad dump of the game on my side~

I'm only wild guessing.
Maybe the header have some unfinished content for your 3DS region banner and it's showing that instead of trying to load the "intended banner" for the region that the game is locked to (some games like Project Mirai DX had the english version banners inside the japanese game header, so when the game was run on a "foreign" console the translated banner shows up).
Or maybe some region patching process from the CFW is altering the header content on the fly and is corrupting the banner.

And i suppose than i cant fix the cartridge... right?
I played a lot of japanese games and this its the first and only one than have that problem in my 3DS. I saw something than look how my problem with a Taiko game but im not sure if i played it because are about 2 or 3 Taiko games for 3DS.

Why would they even make a banner for a region the cart isn't supposed to run in let alone finishing it?
Maybe because they don't know if the game will get localized to other regions, however sometimes the dev/publishing team will pitch the localization to higher ups (so the original publisher will get moving instead of waiting a foreign publisher to license the game) and so they start working on some "little" assets that will get used on other regions.

In the case of Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX the japanese developers knew that the game would be released worldwide (SEGA said that the game would be exclusive to West and then it got worldwide, but I think that it would be a worldwide release from the start but to japanese players it would be too early to a new release so SEGA played with the press releases to make it sound that japanese gamers wanted the new game to get a new song, since the rest of game is Project Mirai 2 with some new PVs).

In the case of Hyrule Warriors Legends/Zelda Musou 3DS the game was intended to worldwide release, so essentially the japanese build had the localization files for other countries, including the banner.
(wild guess) In the case of Taiko no Tatsujin games, while only 1 PS2 release got localized they never know when a title will get localized so maybe they had incomplete banner assets tied to western region codes, actually the arcade games are localized and operate in western countries (in Brazil we have some units with operations text translated to portuguese and that have 3 Brazilian songs on it).

(Wilder guessing) Or maybe, knowing that if region checking the banner must have a "valid banner" to default to when you're running in a non valid region console, they choose to put a early build of the banner as a default option. (I don't know if the header must have banners for other regions to make the console not hang while region checking a game when it's not patched with CFW).

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double

    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
