So if I'm running 9.9 on us n3ds using ninjhax there's no way I can use the patch until smea updates hans? Also will the game even run on regionfree from home brew launcher or not
Yes region free works. HANS does not. I have US N3DS XL on 10.3 with OOThax. Game is playable enough in Japanese. The difficult part is when you are missing a part for crafting/upgrading and you have to figure out what it is/where to get it.
