Slightly OT but I wonder if anyone can answer this. If I download an update from eshop (SSMB4 for example) on my EUR 3ds will it work with a region free US CIA version of the game installed?
Thanks for any help!

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.
Exactly ^^
The question is if i am able to play online with a regionfree us game.cia wich was updated with a eu update.cia on a eu console ^^
My apologies if i ask stupid questions XD
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.
guitarheroknight - it is nice you are trying to help, but make sure you really understand what you are talking about before you share information, not trying to be rude sorry
some updates work for all regions, like pokemon x y/oras, mari kart 7 too i think, but most need the correct matching region
-- but that is no problem, i am sure you will be able to find everything you need!

I know what he meant but I have no idea regarding his question since the region free .cia files are modified to remove the region lock, so I told him just to be safe to download the update only if the .cia game corresponds to his console region. I dont see any permanent harm done to the console itself but you never know what would happen, I mean I would hate if the update deleted his saves or something
BTW when I said "they do need to be the same region" I meant the .cia game and the update from eshop.
You can play out of region games, but under certain circumstances you will need to unwrap the game every time you turn on your 3DS, its better to get region free or better still, one specific to the region of your console.
If you run an out of region game on your machine, even if it has been region free'd, I dont think updates will work.

So it means if I have Monster Hunter 3 EUR installed on my US emuNAND 9.2, I'll be able to go into the in-game DLC download page and download all the free updates? And also play online with it?
There's no PAL CIAs...

Also, there's no need to the CIA to be same region as your system if you are using a region-free CFW.

Well... I used the 3ds to cia converter with a decrypted Ultimate NES Remix 3ds file. THe cia does show up in FBI along with the icon and title. And I don't have a CFW. (FW: 10.5-30U)

@Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer". -

I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
