Heya guys,
i'm sorry in advance if the topic isn't in the right section..
I may buy a US Old 3DS but i'm a European player, (so i don't have the 3DS yet)
I've tried to look about the region change for Old 3DS, i've found the 3DS.guide and a old, and try to gather some informations about it, and eh... since i'm actually new in the 3DS hacking, i'm kinda lost about the online, CFW and the role of NNID and Serial Number in those connections...

So here are my noobish questions..

"Do the Region change is actually something good to do if i'm gonna to install Luma3DS, in plan to play online EUR games (if possible) ?"
"If the region change is needed for online playing, i've read on Reddit that people got some screen issues (scanline effect), can i setup something to counter that part or not ?"
"Eshop access and NNID are needed to play online, like at Pokémon ?"

something off-topic, a Old 3DS is still okay at this moment or should i just save some money to buy a New 3DS ?

Thanks you in advance for taking the time to help me ! ^_^

1- Installing Luma, makes pretty much your 3dws Region Free, no need to change the Region.
2- i never had the issue with the screen thingy.
3- Not sure.

However, to pretty much zoom it upo, no need to region change it.

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    I swear like 99% of arcade games wouldn't even exist these days outside of MAME the arcade machines are old and busted very few ever saw any sort of home conversion

    @Psionic Roshambo, There's a lot of obscure Japanese arcade titles that are either lost to time or dumped.

    It's so unfair, maybe AI can save us lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though

    @Psionic Roshambo, AI is taking our jobs!
