Hello.

As the title implies, I need help for updating out-of-region games on my 2DS.

Here are the details: I'm playing the Japanese version of Bravely Default For The Sequel on my US New Nintendo 2DS XL, which I already have CFW on. The Home Menu displays that there's an update for this game and I tried downloading it through the option the 2DS gives me but obviously won't download since this is a JPN game. So I searched online about how to do it and it seems that by just downloading the update file in a .cia format and installing it with FBI would do. Problem is, I did that and this screens pops up when I boot the game. I have to delete the update in order to be able to play the game.

I already enabled game patching through the Luma3DS v11.0 configuration menu but it's still not working. I read on a reddit page that importing the seed for the title with FBI would solve the problem but that also didn't help because FBI won't give me that "Import Seed" option.

I don't know if this is specifically to this game since I don't have other out-of-region games to test if this is the correct method to update them. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out.

If you play the japanaese version of the game you need the specific regional update:
BRAVELY DEFAULT - For the Sequel
Title ID: 0004000000110D00

I could be wrong, but I believe I'm installing the right update:

Bureiburideforuto - foza shikuu~eru
Title ID: 0004000E000DB600
Version: 1.1.0 (1040)
Product Code: CTR-U-BTRJ

Ya, correct. The Name was missleading, in japan it sounds "Bureiburīdeforuto - fōza shīkuu~eru"
00040000000DB600 game title ID
0004000E000DB600 update title ID
So this update should normaly work.
Edit: I used USA games with dlc and update on my EU 3DS installed as cia and they worked flawless.

FBI automatically installs a seed if needed.

Where did you find the update TID? Couldn't find it on 3dsdb or anywhere else myself

The only difference is the E or 8C in the middle, it specify its a game, update or dlc.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
