Gaming Japanese DSi - changing language and region and downgrading

[Bens411]

Hi,
I also got a japanese DSi XL, and I was wondering if there were any method for changing the region of a DSi. Can we do this by flashing the NAND via hardmod ?
Thanks for your answers !

I also purchased 2 japanese DSI, one DSI and one DSI LL so I would love to be able to switch it to english

Doesnt look like it.

Still waiting for the RSA Patch tho.

It seems this will be more difficult than imagined, so I have decided to just buy a used nstc DSI XL, with a broken screen off ebay and swap the motherboard.

I plan to just hack HiyaCFW onto it and use TwilightMenu++ as a replacement as I can set english on it

 

[PRAGMA]

Still no way of doing this?

No, I would suggest to keep your eyes on Hiya's changelog (if you want the region change on emunand) or Unlaunch if on sysnand (not sure if possible) and making a polite request to their developers (on github, for the former) - but wouldn't surprise me too much if this is simply another case of "hey it's just a wiiu after all"

Any update?

 

[Something whatever]

Also just got a Jp DSI, With new ways to put CFW on it, can we change it to english that way?

Nope. But you can use TWiLightMenu in english on it, which is better.

I have a dsiLL and already did hacked it , but I'd installed Shantae (dsiware) and the game still not detect the localization. In some way, the game still tries to run through the sysNand, nor emunand or TWiLightMenu either.

I guess Twilight Menu++ has localization changer for DS game but still not for Dsi. Yu-gi-oh 2011 in my Japan Dsi could be switch to english by setting in TWM++.

no update anymore?

Dont mess with NAND, using unlaunch and twilightmenu++ instead

 

[jonothan.stevens]

I too have a JPN DSi LL, and I too saw the issue with Shantae not properly displaying text. I just left it alone and moved on, not realizing there was any potential solution. If one is ever found, I would really think it would be worthwhile because the Japanese DSi and DSi LL systems are plentiful and cheap on eBay!

You guys found out about the DSiLanguagePatcher yet? :-)

Nice one, installed it using the v2.0rc3, no issues at all.

Nice!
Does your launcher.dsi also launch when the launcher patches for unlaunch are activated? Mine only does when they're off, so the region lock is still on :-(
