Hacking region change o3ds from eur to usa

[butfluffy]

i have an old 3ds lying around and i would like to region change it from eur to usa due to the fact that a usa region dsiware game will not work on eur consoles.
if i instal luma3ds and update to latest 3ds firmware 11.6 can i then change region to usa using the 11.5.0 CTRTransfer https://3ds.guide/region-changing
i'm kinda confused because the ctrtransfer is ver 11.5.0 so does that mean it will not work with a 11.6 console firmware?

It just means you'll have to do a system update after.

thanks for the reply. but can i perform the region change if i'm already at 11.6? or do i need to be 11.5 or below?

You can be any firmware, the CTR transfer will just make you on 11.5 afterward.
