VincentASM Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) * Except an Internet connection, SD card reader and it doesn't work on the new Nintendo 3DS models (the ones releasing on 13th Feb in the west). One such topic Sadly I don't have a foreign region game to try, but lots of people have reported that it has worked for them. My version of the instructions: If you want to try it on that 3DS, what you need to do is download Launcher.dat and place it in the root directory of that 3DS's SD card (where you see folders such as "Nintendo 3DS" and "DCIM").Next, open your 3DS and insert a wrong-region game (or the other way round).Now the actual exploit: open the Download Play application, then after it loads, press HOME to return to the Home screen (let Download Play run in the background).While this is happening, open the 3DS's Internet Browser, then go to Settings and clear your Cookies. Then go to this URL: go.gateway-3ds.comIf successful, you should get an error in the browser, "failed to load a part of this page". Then your 3DS screen should go black and stay black for a minute or so.Then, cross your fingers, the wrong-region game should boot. At this stage, don't press HOME or it may crash your 3DS (harmless, but annoying). Instead, press the Power button when you want to end. Brb, preo-ordering FE if. DLC and patches don't work though.

Shadow Stalker X Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 You know, a part of me is willing to try this at some point in the future. Getting the Majora's Mask New 3DS, so I'd still have my old 3DS to use for the exploit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Now, for a completely stupid question: Will this work for DS games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKLucas531 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Now, for a completely stupid question: Will this work for DS games? DS games are not region locked, other than DSi enhanced games like the later Pokemon games(Black/White) and some others. Maybe someone's tested those, though.

This'll make my drafting life a billion times easier if it works! oh yeah, FE12 is region-locked, but I'm sure Vincent has it and could test it for you so that's a win/win? If the exploit just launches whatever game is in the slot, then it should work. That's just a total guess on my part.

VincentASM Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Sorry, forgot to mention it doesn't work for DSi games. Apparently the DSi stuff is handled separately so don't get your hopes up for region-free DSi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 IDK sort of paranoid that they(IS or nintendo) might find this exploit and find a way to get around it then I can't play FEif. so i'll just wait for vincent to maybe waste his money when he tests it so if it works then i'll go get it.

They probably will. Just don't update your 3DS firmware : P That said, it's probably hard if you only have one 3DS and like to keep with the times. From now on, I'll try to keep my capture 3DS on the 9.4 firmware. I just hope I don't forget and press "OK" when a new system update appears...

Fruity Insanity Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have a question: Can I get non-paid DLC with this exploit? POINT IN QUESTION: Spotpass Data in Faiaa Emuburemu Kakusei. :3 I could do without the actual DLC, since I have it all on my NA copy, but I'd still like to have the Spotpass data should I import the game...

And yes, I will preorder JP FEif~ Getting a JP 3DS is the most convenient option for sure. Maybe I should get one if I go to Japan this summer, hm...

Book of Ereshkigal Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The yen is pretty weak right now, so it is a good time to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 There is also an android app to spoof the website or something, so you can safely connect only to the app and avoid updating your system by mistake. But I don't know anything about these new fancy smartphones. http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-go-gateway-offline-exploit-host-on-android.378474/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
