Forcing titles/games names to JP in USA/EUR 3DS

NOTE: SOME TITLES CAN'T FORCE TO JP, LIKE PRE-INSTALLED TITLES (3DS CAMERA, 3DS SOUND, DS DOWNLOAD PLAY, MICROSD MANAGEMENT, ETC.)
*Some titles maybe can play in japanese language, like Miiverse, FreeShop, or eShop.

Hello tempers! Today i discovered how to force (some USA/EUR) titles to JP!
Q: Why the hell force System Titles names to JP?
A: Just if you want to show off/pressume you have a japanese 3DS (not really!) but this will don't change system to japanese or convert your 3ds to japanese! this just will force system titles name to japanese! No more!

*Some titles maybe can play in japanese language, like Miiverse or eShop.

What do you need:
*HANS with Homebrew Launcher access (you can get it from Homebrew Stater Pack, but anyway i'll leave HANS here to download)
*Your New/Old3DS (bruh)

=========================================================================
Okay, the first step is download HANS, put it in your 3ds folder, and let's go to the 3DS!

Then, start Homebrew Launcher, and launch HANS, select "System Settings" as target, and launch it!

========================
Put "Region" and "Language" in JP, and select "OK" Don't worry if freezes or not, after that, shutdown!

===========================
*After that, you'll notice in Friend List some games has been changed in Japanese name. don't worry! this will no modify anything of you game! just the game name! For example, mine:

*Some titles can't change

Before:

===================================
*After that, you should go to System Settings, go to Other Settings, and select "Profile" and change your 3DS country because changed to Japan! this is normal, just change it as before, and ready to play again online and ready to start eShop again!
==============
Here is a example of my favorite title: (IM REALLY FEELING IT!) (WATASHIWA FEELING IT!)

Before:

After:
CAM00042.jpg


FAQ:
Q: My favorite title will show to others if is in Japanese?
A: Yeah!

Q: How i can put again system titles in my language again?
A: Go to System Settings, then "Other Settings" and choose "Language" and change it to any, and then change it to your language. this will show system titles/games in your languaje again.

Q: This will brick my 3DS?
A: NO

Q: System Settings freezes when i put "OK" in HANS! HALP!
A: Don't panic, this is just because HANS couldn't lauch system settings, just reset your 3ds and you'll see your 3ds japanese games names in Friend List.

Q: My 3DS can't play online!
A: GODDAMINT YOU DON'T KNOW READ!?1?1
*After that, you should go to System Settings, go to Other Settings, and select "Profile" and change your 3DS country because changed to Japan! this is normal, just change it as before, and ready to play again online and ready to start eShop again!

Seriously OP, you're using homebrew, so you could have used screenshots, but instead you used low-quality photos that are embedded at a size which is far too big.

when I start up HANS, it only lets me choose the ftp as target instead of system settings. lol is there a way to fix that?

even tho I tried to select the ftp anyway, it just led me to a red screen and hangs

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
