Most are region free but they do need to be the same region.
No, if the .cia file is marked region free it doesnt matter if its EU/US/JAP.
That is great =)
What about the Online playability of those .cias?
And can i update a regionfree .cia game with a region locked .cia update?
Well Im not sure if you can cross region the TUs but if you have a PAL console and a PAl game the eShop update will work without any problems. I know this because Ive downloaded an update for OR right before I started the game and everything including online functionality works fine til date![]()
Ok then i have to try out if it is possible to install for example a EU Update.cia on a EU 3ds for a regionfree US game.cia ^^
I want to avoid the eshop just to be safe. Who knows what nintendo comes up with in the future.
You can always download the updates as .cia and install them without ever needing to access eShop.
Hey Guys.
I have an question about cias.
I have a eu 3ds xl and i want to play my games as cias on it. Do the cias need to be of the same region as my 3ds or is it only important for online play?
Most are region free but they do need to be the same region.
the only reason to make a cia region free is so it works on any region of that leaked 4.5 CFW (if you use gw, gw does not care about region), and also so that the icon on home menu will not have to be unwrapped each time you boot up, if the game is thw wrong region for your system.
you can play online regardless of the region of the game.

I thank both of you for your help =)
Does the region of the update file matter? It must be i think, because of the contents of the update.
