Hacking RegionFour Released By Smealum!

[RahFah]

First, sorry for the crappy video, but i almost never upload something to youtube

Uploaded a Video of Cubic Ninja retail cart and Sky3DS. (N3DS XL FW 9.0.7-25E)
As you can see on the end, i press the HOME button to show you the freezing and how to get it fixed (Yes, just remove the game cart ) without pressing long the power button to turn (N)3DS off



This video shows regionfour working with Cubic Ninja and an out of region game, both on Sky3DS, The out of region games is written right behind Cubic Ninja, if not it will not work. (N3DS XL FW 9.0.7-25E)

Great video.

I put three games on my sky3ds (using in my n3ds 9.7 US):
Cubic Ninja (US), Mario and Luigi (EUR) and Mario Vs Donkey Kong (JAP).

I run Cubic Ninja to start the regionfour and when show to change the game and press start, I press the blue on my sky3ds and wait the lights stop blinking. Now the game loaded is the second game on my sd (In this case, Mario and Luigi).

If I what to play the third game (in this case, Mario vs DK) I just press the blue button again and wait.

Finally I press the start button and play the game.

I'll ask again, since Cubic ninja became so hard to find.. Any chance that this can work with Bangai-o Spirits, which I believe was able to do some of the other NinjaHax stuff?

I don't know if that will work, since you press the button it's the same as switching gamecart, so if you press again you switch again the gamecart.
BUT, we will only know if you try it

I tried and work perfect

The pokemon games are region locked from cartridges because nintendo use the icon to tell the region, I've read.
The eShop version uses the titleid, which is the same in all regions I know of.

Confusion isn't just a pokemon move I guess.

Not actually, The Pokemon games are region locked by the Update data and not by the Icon, the main CXI are region free for all regions
Look at this quote from the 3DBrew:
http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Home_Menu

Spoiler

Region Lockout

One of the Home Menu's functions, is to regulate region lockout. The region lockout data for any given title is held in the ICN data. There are 6 regions of which have their own region lockout, Japan, USA, Europe(including Nintendo Australia), China, Taiwan and Korea. There is also a value which makes a title exempt from region lockout, and consequently accessible from any region of 3DS.
The region-field stored in the ICN-data is only checked when Home Menu itself launches a title, not when other titles use NS to have Home Menu launch titles. This isn't actually useful for gamecard region-free however, due to the gamecard system-updates, see below.
Also note that while some gamecard games are mostly region-free(main CXI is identical for all regions of the gamecard), those gamecards can't actually be launched with all 3DS regions due to the gamecard system-update, see below. Note that the main CXI being identical for all regions of a gamecard also means the savedata keyY is identical for all regions of that gamecard too(except for old system-version <v2.2 games, in some cases, due to different cardIDs).

Hey, I am on 9.5.0-22, should I go to 9.7 while I still can? I know I could use RegionThree, but I just like the way RegionFOUR works and smealum said he might make a limited Ninjhax for 9.7 too, and btw why doesn't it work on 9.3 - 9.6?

 

[MeisterFenster]

up to 9.5 you can use regionthree and if you are on 9.6 you can just update to 9.7, since their is no reason to stay on 9.6.

a good tutorial:

working perfect w/ sky3ds =D

 

[Stack3r]

So does this mean I can update my new 3ds to the latest and not have to use cfw 2.2? Will home brew channel still work if I update?

No, don't update if you are on 9.2 or lower on your N3DS
You WILL LOSE your homebrew functionality!

is there a way to make this work with Zelda OoT?

 

[DjoeN]

Smealum said, he MAYBE will look into using Zelda OOT, but for the moment, no it's not possible (yet)

 

[Sucker]

I tried this method in the morning & it worked fine.
But when I tried it an hour ago,When I try to insert my Japanese game,it popped up an error and brought me back to the home screen.

Inb4 sky3ds uses this to advertise their cart.

* It's confirmed that Sky3DS works great with the Smea's regionFOUR. See detail (05/05/2015)

Why in the name of Merlin's saggy left testicle would you try to run regionFOUR on your emuNAND ?
