Gaming Title ID

[godreborn]

does the title id change depending on region? the reason I ask is that I have poi, and redeeming coins resulted in an region region (says USA on the cartridge). a couple months later, I bought the digital version., since I'm going all digital. the system wouldn't read the save either online, cloud saving nor on the system itself. and, in my profile it says that I first placed the game I day ago. does anyone know why that happened?

It depends on game if it's different region releases. Most of games has one for whole world, but some are only for specific region.
There are f.e:
JP
US
GB
HK
AU
ES
DE
EU
KR
And for example one game can be released US, but be selled for whole world. LEGO games are examples of games that are selled for different regions (LEGO Undercover has US, GB, AU).

thanks, man. it was/is weird that poi would give a regional error despite having USA on the cartridge. I did call Nintendo about it, and they couldn't explain why I couldn't redeem coins. it being within the 1 year redemption window would've resulted in a different error. what I'm confused about is how cloud saving and saving on the system would say the save didn't exist, yet it still saved over that save. I'm wondering if that particular save might be like tales of hearts r on the vita. that game uses two different save folders, one being the EU version. I can't recall if it uses the US and the EU , but the game seems to create both of them, yet it only uses one of them. I'm thinking that buying the game from the eshop someone wasn't compatible with the retail save.

I've been looking for quite some time. Is there a way to check the GameID or ApplicationID of an NSP file in Windows. Like Goldleaf does on Switch?

XCI Explorer (yes, it supports checking info in NSP)

You need to update hactool inside "tools" folder

Thanks for the link to this. I have a few NSP's that dont read properly (but they do play). Is this normal or am i missing anything?

Latest hactool release doesn't read properly NSPs built with newest versions of SDK.
