title: "Region Changing"

{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}

### Required Reading

This is add-on section for region changing your CFW SysNAND. This is done by installing the 11.5.0 CTRTransfer image for the region you want to switch to.

Note that region changing is almost completely unnecessary since Luma3DS supports out-of-region games and individual [title region emulation](https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Options-and-usage).

To use the [magnet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_URI_scheme) links on this page, you will need a torrent client like [Deluge](http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download).

Note that if you have any payload files other than `GodMode9.firm` in the `/luma/payloads/` folder on your SD card, holding (Start) on boot will display a "chainloader menu" where you will have to use the D-Pad and the (A) button to select "GodMode9" for these instructions. 

Dit proces zal jouw NNID loskoppelen van het systeem, omdat het niet langer passend is met het systeem. NNID's are locked to the region of your device that created them and cannot be transferred between regions without [a very complex and advanced process](https://gist.githubusercontent.com/yifanlu/e80db121d38aceb8cca0e03cefd5853b/raw/3c4dd89869156ca0f945a2791e699acfdb32b510/gistfile1.txt).
{: .notice--warning}

After this process, only **New 3DSs which have never accessed the eShop before** and **all Old 3DSs** will be able to access the eShop after creating a new NNID on their new region. De New 3DS'en die al eerder op de eShop op hun originele regio zijn geweest, kunnen geen nieuwe NNID maken en kunnen niet de eShop bezoeken wanneer de regio veranderd is!
{: .notice--warning}

Let wel op dat af en toe de eShop, zonder goede reden, nog steeds niet werkt voor de systemen waarop het wel zou moeten werken. Dit ligt helemaal bij de servers van Nintendo en ik heb hier totaal geen controle over. Additionally, note that occasionally the eShop will inexplicably work for devices that it should not (such as some New 3DSs). De oorzaak hiervoor is momenteel onbekend.

Het veranderen van je regio met behulp van CTRTransfer (dit is de methode die hier gebruikt wordt) blijkt "reboot patches" kapot te maken. The cause for this is unknown, but Old 3DS users, for now, will be unable to play extended memory mode games (such as Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, and Pokémon Sun / Moon) until they format their devices.

You MUST have already installed Luma3DS and boot9strap to use this.
