it does seem quite ironic
get something that pirates games, modify it so we can play more retail games on our consoles
1. Download fileWould it be possible for someone to write up a step-by-step tutorial of how to do this? I'm willing to write one up myself but I don't know where to find all this information needed to write it up.
1. Download file
2. Copy GW's launcher.dat into the same folder as the *.exe
3. Start the *.exe. It should show "file patched successfully"
4. Copy the Launcher.dat into the Root of your microSD card
5. Install the Exploit (with the GW_INSTALLER.NDS)
6. Now you can go to Settings -> General Settings -> User settings -> DS profile
7. Your 3DS is region free
You can download the Gateway files from the official website in the downloads section. A direct link is not allowed.Thank You. One last question: The Gateway instruction manual mentions "repeat on DS Mode Entry" when running GW_INSTALLER. Does this mean we have to re-run the installer on every time we use DS mode?
Pong20302000: I assume this "patch" can be made for Mac and *nix systems since it just patches hex values right?
PS Can we make mention of where you can find the needed Gateway files or does go against the rule?

Hi, I have a JP NDSi and was hoping to transfer the DSiWare to my PAL 3DS XL, any chance this hex or any easy hex to come to make that happen?
(just base on current exploits, not hoping some miracle to happen in near future)
Thank you
I would like to know this as well. I have a Japanese DSi and a US 3DS XL and I would love to transfer over the DSiWare that I purchased.Hi, I have a JP NDSi and was hoping to transfer the DSiWare to my PAL 3DS XL, any chance this hex or any easy hex to come to make that happen?

no, can't be done, at least yet, but don't get your hopes up, system transfer has to go through nintendo and their servers, probably very hard to do if it is possible...I assume this is not possible with this hex?
No.I would like to know this as well. I have a Japanese DSi and a US 3DS XL and I would love to transfer over the DSiWare that I purchased.

No.Does this work on consoles higher than 4.5?

Yes, unless the game requires a patch to play online like Monster Hunter 4. Because the eShop is region locked, you won't be able to download the patch.Anyone know if online works in games with this?
OK, my 3ds is Region Free now, my question is: Can i update my 3ds to 7.1.0 and still will be Region Free?
Yeah running any ds software removes the profile exploit
Also worth noting
Ds games will not work in emunand, and neither will dsi downloadable games, or the gba ambassador games
