with luma there is no need, it unlocks the regionlockerAny other idea or do I have to buy a Japanese 3DS again to play Animal Crossing in Japanese
Maybe trying a tool to make my own CIA dump of the game region free would fix the problem?
Make sure you have the titleID properly set up. It should be one of the two I posted in my reply to this thread earlier.
It could also be your text editor. I use Windows, so the default Notepad does the job. I'm not sure if the Mac OS text editor adds anything to the file or if it's stored in Unicode or something. It could probably throw the game into a crash, but I'm not really sure.
If it's not that, then you can try either using GodMode9 to make a CIA of your cart and install it (like everyone else suggested already), or try a different Japanese cart of the same Animal Crossing game in case it went bad. If you do dump your cart via GodMode9, use JK Save Manager to copy your save from the cart to your CIA dump after you've installed it.
If all else fails, maybe a Japanese emunand might fix it.

it should work with the region setting. I'm playing the EU version on my JP n3ds. I can test the other way around. give me a bit.
edit: also try using this https://github.com/Possum/LumaLocaleSwitcher/releases instead of creating the file manually. just incase you have an encoding problem on your PC or whatever. also make sure the game patching is enabled correctly in Luma config (hold select on boot)
edit2: original game works here, having issues getting the update to install with fbi. see attachment for proof, JP game on EU fw
edit3: both variant + updates confirmed working just fine on EU old 3ds
