can I create a NNID on the other region to download demos?it's just information, not dead, i'm just busy. soon
pretty sure there was eshop issues......not sure if it was down to NNID or just that there is more to the authentication than whats being edited here, meaning without even more spoofing and stuff system transfers probably wouldn't be possible......also if you did this to sysnand, you would need to update to the latest FW, which would mean its irreversible (at-least until someone plucks up the courage to test if n3ds hardware mod downgrading works)Hypothetically, If you were to insert the region-changing to the sysNAND of a Japanese n3DS and change the region to North America, would you be able to system transfer from another North American 3DS to the changed system? If so this is quite possibly the greatest thing ever!
Yellows8 published a gist detailing a method to change region today. I don't know if it's the same as yours, but here it is: https://gist.github.com/yellows8/f15be7a51c38cea14f2c
I've no clue if GW patches that check yet, but I can verify it works if you do.
USA eshop work + USA NNID=A SDSD card
USA eshop work+no NNID=B SDSD card(Bridge)
EUR no eshop+EUR NNID=C SDSD card
1.A card is properly identified ESHOP
2.In other B card, run eshop an error number 110
3.Shutdown
4.Run C card, run the eshop EUR
You can log in to work! ! !
(i can't view it right now) i will see if he put info on how to get eshop working
where do you get system fw cias? or do we have to wait...ok, so basically, just download the system fw cias for the region you want.
if you are on 4.x, i recommend to download the 5.0 cias. you could download the 9.x ones straight away but then you will have to worry about not getting the n3ds fw titles too. with 5.0 you do not need to worry about that.
go to devmenu, install the cias, and turn off.
go inside the nand, replace the SecureInfo_A (sometimes_B) file with the one from the region that you want to change to. (this will change your console id to that console, i guess it would also 'unban' you if you are banned, like you could use the file from a 3ds of your same region, so, jpn-jpn, and it would unban you etc)
you can tidy up the nand by deleting the system fw titles that do not exist in your new region that you changed to. - i made a small python tool to check and find the differences, i could also make it automatically delete them for you, but that would only really work for me on mac since i can mount the fat16 partiton nicely by naming it '.iso', on windows i doubt it is that simple etc. - anyway it is not required to delete the unneeded leftover system titles but you will have duplicated of stuff, like camera, system settings... etc etc. also things behind the scenes as well.
when you boot up you will be in the new region, and you can update to the latest fw if you want.
eshop might work, some people said for them it worked first time, 'lucky', but try the little guide i shared above.
this can be done on sysnand or emunand. (but if we were to get gw to patch the function, or get that done in a CFW, then it would not be possible on sysnand without using a legit file form another 3ds)
i made a tool to dump and inject the SecureInfo_A file from sysnand/emunand, it only works for sysnand 4.x, i can share it soon

yeah, but I only have one 3ds (US), so I can't get other region fw
yeah, but I only have one 3ds (US), so I can't get other region fw
hmm... So I can get JPN fw cia from a US 3ds?This works entirely independent of your console.

Pretty sure devmenu doesn't list system titles.Could you just remove the duplicate cias with devmenu or a cia manager? Better than having to go through the hassle of making a script to double check it all.
And by legit file, you mean actually extracting one from a target region 3DS. So then would getting a 3DS file and putting it on a 3DS XL work? (Or vice versa) And when ever gateway gets N3DS supprt (SOON™)Could you use a 3DS file on a N3DS? Or a N3DSXL file on a N3DS? I know there's not a solid answer for that, but at least a guess would be cool.

Also, thanks a bunch for making that guide a hell of a lot easier to understand! Seems pretty simple out of ten honestly.
