I think this thread started very shallow.. and someone needs to step in all tell us, what this really is, and how to use it.

read the OP

you only need to install the MSET hack with a DS Flashcard

Nice job, now all we need is a way to access other region e-shops.
I.E.: Accessing Japan e-shop on a US Console.
That would be something great, so many games have dlc now on the eshop.

basically using the gateway launcher.dat as a base to enable region free 3ds games....but not needing a gateway/r4i card

you use this with a standard DS cart to install the hack and you can use retail 3ds games from any region on your 3DS (still needs to be on 4.x to work)

how do you install it?

you use the Gateway installer
which is a .nds file

 

[gamesquest1]

and copy the modified launcher.dat to the 3DS SD card,

you can pretty much follow the gateway turorial. even updating the emunand to 7.1, except you use retail carts instead of the gateway red card

wow thats a good start but unfortunetly i have updated to the lastlest version 7 i dont remember so i can't do adding this patch?

nope this is reliant on the gateway launcher file and is not a new exploit....just edited to accept retail carts, in place of the gateway red card

so 4.x only

one thing i would like to know if anyone has a out of region cart to test on this....is online working for out of region games on this set-up?

geez only 4.x? i don't want to buy another 3ds for that i wait if there a patch for lastest official firmwares withouth need fork for 4.x etc.

It still needs the 4.1-4.5 exploit (that had been patched with the recent updates), so I think it's a no.

 

[Arshes91]

emuNAND is basicly your Console saved unto a SD-card.

Which means if something goes wrong nothing happens to your console, just files on a sd-card.

anyway there still no change if i add that loader.dat on my 3ds i can add withouth to fork 4.x im on 7.x after all so im completly sure there alternative ways

Nice Job.

I love when something trivial like HEX Strings can make such awesome things

So what would the implications be for games that need patches, like Monster Hunter 4? How would a US 3DS' emunand react to attempts to access the Japanese e-shop?

 

[scanmanga]

i tested it. work fine. japan Retail Carts on 3ds us nomal model.
you can go back play rom. use original luncher.dat.

So did the retail cart of Monster Hunter 4 have fully functional online gameplay? If so, that is great news.

Kid icarus uprising jpn works perfectly.

 

[rev52]

That's good to hear. Just out of curiosity though, if a patch or DLC was applied to a Japanese game, where would they be downloaded from. Is downloading DLC for a Japanese retail game even possible?

interesting, i want to know too.

 

[Arras]

Oh see I must have missed that too.

So if i have a DSTWO and a 4.x 3DS, i can emunand as well as region free-ify that specific 3DS?

Yup. You can't install patches for out-of-region games though.
