luigi bros Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I imported this game but it will not play. I put it into my US 3DS and it said no game was inserted. I tried my old dsi but still nothing. I thought it was because it was Japanese, but it plays the Japanese Shadow Dragon easily. Is there any reason for this? Research says that if it is 3DS or DSi enhanced it will not run on the US system. Is this game enhanced? I hope someone here knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) DSi enhanced (yes, it is?) games are region locked (the DSi and onward check the region), it should be playable on a lite or fat though.

MasterJP28 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 luigi bros I'll trade you my lite, great condition, for your 3DS SD came out in Japan early so the whole region lock for the DS was probably not made in the game. But these recent games feature region lock but to only for the DSs with the software. L95 is right the game should be playable on lite/fat DS.

Celice Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 If you have an action replay or something like that, it might innately bypass that region check. If not, there may be a code out there to ignore/fake the check altogether. Check it out and let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks for the help. I dug up my ancient DS Lite and it runs perfectly Thanks Celice, but I refuse to use an Action Replay on real games. What about it is DSi enhanced though? If it runs on the DS Lite I can't see what's enhanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewjeo Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Nintendo has enhanced their ability to prevent their customers from getting their merchandise. But only for the DSi and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippoman Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Have fun! Don't forget to say no to Wrys when he asks you a question in 3X, or you'll be gloriously bald! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
