N3DS Browser Filtering Disabler

[windows_server_2003]

This might not be relevant for most of the people reading this, but in Japan, we have a very strict content filtering installed in the browser of new 3DSes by default, which makes the Internet browser almost unusable.
To make matters worse, Nintendo stopped supporting credit cards on 18 Jan, which was the only way to remove the filtering.
It means if you haven't removed it by now, you can never access websites like Twitter, YouTube and Amazon on 3DS.

So here is a GodMode9 script capable of disabling the filter. You can't re-enable it from the browser's settings menu, so the script can also enable the filter.

Have fun!

What doesn't work? What does it say when you run the script in GodMode9? And this is for Japanese consoles only. Also you have to have opened the browser at least once before using this script.

@yj_1357
Just to confirm, you are using a JPN model and the filter doesn't go away although the script says it successfully disabled filter?

Why is there a filter on japanese consoles and not other ones? Also how come people need to pay to unblock things?

parent control in jp, 30 yen price to proof that you are adult

Content filtering? To prevent younger people from watching porn or something?

 

[yj_1357]

yes

 

[susbaconhairman]

Sorry for the necroposting, but how do I actually use gm9 to install this script? What are the steps?

Okay so I figured it out. For any newbs like me:

1. Download the script and upload whichever version (I did the jp but en will literally do the same thing) into your gm9 folder on your sd card under the "scripts" folder.
2. Turn your 3DS off.
3. Hold start and reboot your 3DS.
4. Upon load, open gm9.
5. In gm9, click the first directory (it should show you the entire contents of your 3DS' sd card).
6. Look for the same directory you just uploaded the script to — ://gm9/scripts/whateverthisscriptiscalled.js
7. Click it, and follow all the directions (say you trust it, input the directional the code it tells you to, etc.)
8. Once the script says it's been installed, let gm9 relock permissions, and you can simply reboot your 3DS and you're golden!

I'm confused with number 7. Which one am I supposed to click? There are 5 options

You input whatever it shows you, in that order.

 

[u2You_Too]

You input whatever it shows you, in that order.

When I select the filtering disabler file, I see:
'Show in Hexeditor
Calculate SHA-256
Calculate SHA-1
Show file info
Copy to 0:/gm9/out'

I just do all these in order from top to bottom?

You should just see an input after you click the script for it to run. Like A B < ^ < X or some other random combination of inputs.

I have new 2ds LL from Japan.
I followed instruction on copying files to sdcard.
But
Holding start + power does not boot gm9.

Is there any pre-requisite to run gm9 scripts?

Ya there is. and its a big one. You NEED cfw to run any sort of gm9 script. Is there a child lock or something on the console that you got?

Right, this I confirmed from the forum.
My son got his 2ds XL US version with cfw, and he wants another one.
So we decided to get another one from Amazon, a 2ds LL from Japan. (With my fate in the hack community, nothing is impossible)

Turned out that, the browser of 2ds LL is disabled. The only way to enable is by running gm9 scripts.
The only way you run gm9 script is to install cfw, which needs a browser.. TSK!

Another way, to install cfw, is to use a physical Flashcart, and a physical magnet, and do a trial and error, hold multiple button awkwardly at the same time..
(I hope someone can tell me, this really works..)

p.s. I could return back the 2ds LL to Amazon, but my son refuses. He is an old school.

I already suggested an alternative in your other thread. This is why you shouldn't post about the same problem in multiple places.

Of course it works; it wouldn't be in https://3ds.guide if it didn't work. There's no "trial and error" about it.
