Hacking Katakana character input required on non-Japanese FW. How to proceed?

maybe you can use a save from someone that already used a name

The odd thing is that the Japanese-region keyboard is obviously included in the EUR/USA firmwares: The vast majority of Japanese games which request any sort of text input will bring up the Japanese keyboard (which includes all of the different characters), so the required data is in there somewhere.

I guess my best bet at this point is asking someone with a Japanese console/emuNAND to boot it up for me and export a savegame with savedatafiler which I can then import.

Can anybody with a JPN emunand/console help me out? I'll send you the CIA.

I have a JP console running gateway on 8.1. I can do it for you, but I would really prefer if this keyboard issue got an actual solution because I wish I could do this on my own USA n3ds (perhaps I will stop being lazy and set up a JP emunand for my USA n3ds...)

Send me the CIA and I'll try to do it either on Friday or Saturday.
