Hello all, I’m a 15 year old and I am new to modding/hacking my consoles. I homebrewed and put CFW on my old 3ds on 11.13.0 and I’m having troubles playing nintendogs + cats.
I know you’re all going to say that this problem has been answered many times, but I’ve read all the threads and it doesn’t work for me.
(This is a little lengthy, but I didn’t want to leave any information out, so bare with me)
First, i install the nintendogs .cia file with FBI, like all other games. And it successfully installs but once I play it, it gets stuck on the running dog loading screen, and forces me to shut off my console.
This is supposedly caused by the incorrect region.
And I’ve read all the threads on how to fix this, but it just doesn’t work for me.
I need a step by step for where the Luma folder is, the path, the folder structure, and what the txt file needs to look like for the region and language code.
(Preferably a literal example of what mine should look like, with the provided information I have down a little ways)

The threads say the path is /luma/titles/TID/ or /luma/locales/
I don’t know which one, as they are both out there. And I’ve tried both, neither are successful.
I am also confused as to where the “/luma” folder is. Is it the one on the root of the SD card?
Or am I in the complete wrong spot.
If it is that one, do I have to create the “/titles” or “/locales” folder?
Because I had to.
And I’ve seen an example on how to do this on another thread and it was something like this.
“/luma/titles/0004000000032158” (the number I chose was random so don’t think too hard about that.)
But I’m just wondering if that is the correct path. As it said it is was /luma/titles/TID.
Does the games title id replace the /TID? (Which I’m pretty sure means title id anyways)
And where does the txt file go? In the long numbers folder?

For example my game file is “nintendogs + cats: toy poodle” and the title id is “0004000000031600” and when I install the .cia in FBI, it shows that the games region is “Europe, Australia”
Is the txt file that I am supposed to make meant to match the games region, or the region of my ds?
Which is USA by the way.

I hope this was enough information, I basically just want a noob version of how to fix the nintendogs region load error thing.
Step by step.
And tell me which /luma folder everyone is talking about, please. The one on the root?
Thank you for reading, I hope someone can help.

Thanks so much that worked perfect this is the posters dad. . Lol.
I forgot I was a member here.we spent 3 days trying to figure this out. I just looked at the file path and how it was created. We where close just had a couple things mixed up.
Thanks again. The game works. She can’t post more than once in 24 hours her account is restricted still. Anyways just wanted to say thanks for the help. We’re all good now. , It’s her turn to learn this stuff on her own. I can’t keep up with all this stuff anymore. ,, AKAIO and acekard. Was my thing. Haha

Just use Luma Local Switcher it does all the work for you and creates the text file and places it in the correct folder.

Good to hear the 3DS problem is solved.


The "one in 24 hours" limit applies to new threads (to prevent bots that successfully created an account from spamming the whole forum with nonsense threads). Replying should be possible multiple times. If replying does not work for you, @Trista ,
please contact a supervisor to have the account validated manually,

Both of you: Good luck and have fun!

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
