I've seen some people saying you can do this and now I finally have an out of region game I'd love to know how. I've looked around but can't find any answers.. I'd love to be able to take screenshots of my Japanese games though! So thanks for any help.

Well, first of all, if you don't have homebrew on your 3DS (or CFW), then you should probably check on that first.
If you do have homebrew on your 3DS, all you gotta do is load up the Homebrew Launcher, choose HANS, spoof the region, and hope it works! Thing is that HANS isn't compatible with all games, especially the new ones. The only way to use those out-of-Region games is by waiting for HANS to update for compatibility (although smea hasn't done that in a while), or using CFW.

May I ask how one plays out of region games on CFW?

Well, if you have an o3DS or a 9,5 N3DS, you can use rxTools CFW, since that already comes with out-of-region support.
On the other hand, you can use FreeMultiPatcher as an alternative. It's a .cia app that allows playing out-of-region, as well as a few other things. The only downside is that you have to start it up everytime you want to play an out-of-region game, but it's not much of a problem.

    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
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    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
