I've seen a lot of talk about this having been done before, and now I'm trying to do make a few region free myself, but I don't know exactly what to place with what.

Answers I'm not looking for are:
CIA converters make them region free on conversion. (Doesn't help when it's already a cia)
CFW is already region free so there's no need to make it region free (This isn't a question about CFW, and it doesn't affect what I'm doing that CFW is region free.)

Decompress CIA
Recompile CIA as .3DS
Use CIA converter to make it region free.


Either WAY you WILL HAVE TO DECRYPT THE CIA to make it region free.

As you have to edit the ExHeader File and the Icon.bin

    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
