title: "Region Changing"
|

permalink: /region-changing.html

|
|
This is add-on section for region changing your arm9loaderhax CFW SysNAND. This is done by installing the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image for the region you want to switch to and modifying your SecureInfo_A file.
|
|
{: .notice--primary}
|
|
|
|
**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).**
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
This process will unlink your NNID from the system, since it will no longer be compatible with it. NNID's are locked to the region of the 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 **any Old 3DSs** will be able to access the eShop after creating a new NNID on their new region. Region changed New 3DSs that have already accessed the eShop on their original region cannot create a new NNID and access the eShop on their new region!
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
Note that occasionally the eShop will inexplicably still not work for devices that it should work for. This is entirely to do with Nintendo's servers, and I really do not have any control over it.
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
Region changing using ctrtransfer (which this method uses) seems to cause reboot patches to break. The cause for this is unknown, but for now Old 3DS users will be unable to play extended memory mode games (such as Monster Hunter, Super Smash Bros, and Pokémon Sun / Moon).
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
**You MUST have already installed arm9loaderhax + Luma3DS to use this.**
|
|
{: .notice--danger}

|
#### What you need

|
|
2. Copy `Decrypt9WIP.bin` to the `/luma/payloads/` folder on your SD card and rename `Decrypt9WIP.bin` to `x_Decrypt9WIP.bin`
|
|
3. Copy the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image `.bin` and `.bin.sha` from the ctrtransfer zip to the `/files9/` folder on your SD card
|
|
4. Reinsert your SD card into your 3DS
|
|
|
|
##### Section II - Backup tickets
|
|
|
|
5. Open Decrypt9 from arm9loaderhax by holding (X) during boot
|
|
6. Go to "Ticket/Titlekey Options", then select "Ticket Dump (SysNAND)"
|
|
7. Press (Select) to eject your SD card, then put it in your computer

|
|
10. Once the transfer is complete, press Select to eject your SD card
|
|
11. Put your SD card in your computer, then copy `NANDmin.bin` and `NANDmin.bin.sha` from the `/files9/` folder on your SD card to a safe location; make backups in multiple locations; this backup will save you from a brick if anything goes wrong in the future **(Your backup should match one of the sizes on [this](nand-size) page; if it does not, you should delete it and make a new one!)**
|
|
12. Delete the 9.2.0 ctrtransfer image `.bin` and `.bin.sha` from the `/files9/` folder on your SD card after copying it
