Hacking Hardware Homebrew Formatting the console on which the region changed

[eyakens]

Hi, a few weeks ago I changed the region of my console from Japanese to European. After that, I noticed that the console stopped running games like Super smash bros, mario maker, captain toad and others. On one of the forums, I read that one dude fixed it by formatting the console. If I format my console, will I not brick it?

DO NOT DO THAT. Resetting the console with a region change will brick the console.

Hey, will this section reset my console settings to Japanese?

You have mixed up two things: Uninstalling CFW on region changed 3DS will lead to a brick. Throwing away the user profile ("Format System Memory") is fine.

No. It won't change the installed titles. Backup any important data (for example savegames by using Checkpoint) before formatting.
