    Hardware Would changing the motherboard in a 3ds change its region?

    Oh I see. Well needless to say I wholeheartedly agree. Hopefully a solution will be found sometime soon.

    Hardware Would changing the motherboard in a 3ds change its region?

    It would be less controlling than it is now. As it stands, consumers can't access games or the online stores other than the one in their region unless they have a different region system. And most companies do not really care about foreign buyers, or import buyers, they make a very small percent...

    That's what I thought.

    Hardware Would changing the motherboard in a 3ds change its region?

    Well that was the intent so I am glad someone enjoyed it. I have to admit I do not agree with rating systems. I think we all should just use the Japanese one. The entire system is so counter-intuitive, but then again that's what happens when governmental organizations become involved. A...

    Hardware Would changing the motherboard in a 3ds change its region?

    I can hazard a guess why Nintendo cares from a legal standpoint. It has to do mainly with licensing and different content per region. For instance Europe is more free with sexual content but tones down the violence, with USA, it's the opposite, and Japan.....well Japan is Japan. There also is...

    Hardware Would changing the motherboard in a 3ds change its region?

    Actually that would be a bit harder. Swapping out the motherboard is pretty straightforward (thank the maker), but much easier than shifting everything over. Check ifixit diagrams and you'll see what I mean. If it weren't for the ribbon wire in the hinge I would consider it, but removing...

    Awesome. Would you mind defining what bare-bones mean specifically in the context you mean? I am taking a motherboard from a working black 3ds unit and putting it into the white japanese system. I'll update once I have everything ready.

    Hardware Would changing the motherboard in a 3ds change its region?

    I am seriously considering swapping the motherboard in my white 3ds (japanese model) with a USA motherboard, either a broken 3ds or a new motherboard. Overall makes not a huge difference to me. I would want to know if doing something like this would change the region on the system from NTSC-J...

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.

    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.

    That sounds really cool
