When you do the search the first thing you find is the YouTube exploit hack for region unlocking. So, turns out bypassing the regional lock on a game-by-game basis is fairly simple.

Talk about eye-opening! Not to mention the fact I love tracking down and trying out other people’s hacks and exploits, it makes me feel smarter than I ever will be.

Without their stupid regional locks, I would have never learned about all the free games I can get for their system. So, anyway, early this morning I start hacking away at the 3DS over my morning coffee, and once I got rolling I began to reconsider my anger towards Nintendo. Worst case scenario, we have to return the game and buy it through the virtual shop online, but that is a whole different kind of DRM nightmare I was trying to avoid in the first place. They not only let me down, they let my whole family down!īut, I did a quick search last night to be sure, and there were some ingenious folks who had found ways to bypass the region lock for the 3DS, so I figured I would give it a try. What’s more, I was having people over for a barbecue and couldn’t attend to it immediately, so the kids were pissed. You do the right thing, pay their ransom of a bounty, and they lock you out. I double-checked whether Nintendo subjects the 3DS to that arcane form of media torture now as region lock, and lo and behold they do. But remembering I had to actually buy a region specific power plug for the 3DS when arriving in Italy because the US version didn’t even work with a convertor, I had a nagging feeling it could be something else. The last words you ever wanna see after buying a new video game: “This Game Card could not be read.” We have two 3DS machines, so when the same read error occurred on both I was sure it was a defective card. Anyway, we got home and the kids were chomping at the bit to play the brand new game that cost too much and…. I parted with far more money than I care to admit for this game, but rationality doesn’t usually stand in the way of my rampant consumerism. Miles and Tommaso have been asking for a Pokemon game for the 3Ds, and feeling fairly charitable these days I obliged. The kids and were heading home from the Pokemon Go event in Trento and we stopped by the local Gamestop (they have those in Italy too). But the story starts earlier than that, yesterday afternoon to be exact. I had a bit of fun early this morning before mushroom picking (I know, what have I become?!). As of writing this, the 3dsbrowserhax exploit only works up to firmware 11.1.
