I got myself a JPN version of Flipnote Studios 3DS, which gives me a classic blackscreen error message telling me an error occurred and to turn off the 3ds. I am wondering if it is a region thing and I need to do something to make it run. I know that LUMA3ds has something that allows you to play out of region games. I have a O3DSxl with LUMA.

Still got the error message

That's odd, because Luma should automatically patch and make region free. So if using latest version then the error must be for something else, or region free is not working for some reason.

https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Other-features-and-notes

Standard features
Luma3DS does the following patches automatically, with no need for user configuration:

  • Signature checks removal, which allows unsigned content to run
  • FIRM reboots replacement, which allows these to work:
    • 3DS games which work in the larger RAM mode (Smash Bros, Monster Hunter 4... on Old 3DS)
    • Custom GBA games
    • Old DS flashcards
  • Region lock removal (region free), to run out-of-region cias and cartridges
  • Version patching in the 'friends' module, allowing games to work online on older 3DS OS versions

    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
