Hacking Luma3DS region free feature

[cecpl2014d]

Hi everyone!

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I was wondering about the region free feature in Luma 3DS: for the Wii U for example, issues exist with some games despite the CFW region free feature, which is why the Spiik app has been created. I was wondering if it was the same for the 3DS? For example, are there any issues to be expected when playing European or US games, or downloading them, on a Japanese 3DS?

Thanks in advance!

Some games will require region and language emulation in order to load (detective Pikachu is an example of one). Luckily Luma also has that built in.

if the game you're trying to play also needs language emulation read the enable game patching section in the next page:

I would also recommend you to download luma locale switcher to make the process easier, but i don't know if it still works with the latest luma version.

Thanks for your replies! Very good about Luma's features, I just noticed in 3ds.guide that it is also possible to directly change the device's region, which can be useful too!
