Hello there, i am trying the OOT3Dhax on my 10.7 3DS EUR. I have to buy a powersaves for this to work. Wheter the powersaves pro from the link below works on my Europe 3DS?

http://www.amazon.com/Action-Replay-PowerSaves-Pro-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B00IVJ1M7M

If it is, can anyone recommend me an Europe compatible powersave from amazon.com

PS : I have a 20$ amazon.com gift card

Power Saves is region locked. "Power Saves Pro" is the US branding for what is simply known as Power Saves in Europe.

So no, the device you linked to will not work with your European games.

It's my understanding that it is actually the software and not the hardware that is region locked. The device comes with a region locked registration code, once you've registered your device it's locked to that region.

A quick google directed me to Datel's support page, which should answer most of your questions (probably the first you should have done), which can be found here.

As far as i know, a EUR license code is only usable with games from EUR region and a USA license code is only usable with USA games. But the software and hardware will work for both.

I bought a USA licence code with a user over PM because i have a few legit USA carts, but usually i use EUR

Does the gift card not work on amazon.co.uk?

PowerSaves is only needed for copying over the hacked save though, which might still work even if the cheats don't (not sure about this)

To the people saying it's region locked, have you actually tried it? Because I have, and it works fine with games from all regions.

that's really annoying though, it's better to just get the correct one. I got an EUR Power Saves from Amazon and I never had any trouble.

It is region locked.

However, if you grabbed the wrong region one, you can simply e-mail them to get them to change the region key for you.
(may take a while for them to get it done for you)

What do you mean by that? Have you tried for example using both an EUR and US game?

I have a US Powersaves and it works on my import games. I even bought a CYBER Gadget because I was told by people here it wouldn't work, but I ended up not needing it and sold it. Have you guys actually tried it or are you just assuming it's region locked?

It is region locked. I got a US key, but i emailed them about the issue. They replied after 5 days and changed the region of key to EUR.

Do not register the key with your email before getting the proper key. Register only after they email you back.

    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?

    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive

    Keep them both

    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
