title: "Region Changing"
---

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

### Required Reading

This is an add-on section for region changing your CFW SysNAND. This is done by installing the 11.15.0 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 [Locale Emulation](https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features). Additionally, running NDS games with alternative out-of-region languages is supported by [TWiLight Menu++](https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases).

Note that if ye have any payload files other than `GodMode9.firm` in th' `/luma/payloads/` folder on ye SD card, holdin' (Start) on boot gunna display a "chainloader menu" where ye gunna have to use th' D-Pad 'n th' (A) button to select "GodMode9" fer these instructions.

{% capture notice-6 %}
If you change the region of your device:

+ You will not be able to use your NNID (if you have one). NNIDs are locked to the region that they were created in.
+ You may not be able to access the eShop, even if you [delete your eShop account](https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/74/~/how-to-delete-a-nintendo-eshop-account) beforehand. This is because certain titles tend to remain linked to the 3DS, even after account deletion (especially on New 3DS).
	+ The eShop contains not only games, but also game updates and DLC. Updates are usually required for online play.
+ **You will not be able to uninstall custom firmware without bricking the device!** If you intend to uninstall custom firmware in the future, you **MUST** restore your NAND backup that was created before the region change.
{% endcapture %}

<div class="notice--danger">{{ notice-6 | markdownify }}</div>

Ye MUST have already installed Luma3DS 'n boot9strap to be usin' 'tis.
{: .notice--danger}

Performing a region change may break extended memory mode games (Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, Pokemon Sun/Moon) on Old 3DS/2DS devices. If this occurs, you will need to format the device (using TinyFormat or System Settings) to fix the issue.

### What You Need

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