    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...

    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 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...
