So I'm trying to change a Pokemon US Ultra Sun cartridge (or Sun/Moon software) into a Japanese version to use the Japanese mystery gift function. I'm pretty sure I have the latest 3DSLuma version (10.0.1-c913de1), but I'm still not sure how to switch the region of specific game. This guide (https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s) to upgrading from a9lh to b9s, linked me to another guide (https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/wiki/Optional-features) which gives confusing directions to use the "locale.txt" in the "/luma/titles/TID/" folder but then it says to place the "locale.txt" in the "/luma/titles/......" folder. Another guide () says use app called Luma Locale Switcher, but it doesn't' load because of "A FATAL ERROR!" which was caused because the app "FAILED TO LOAD PNG FILE 'SELECTION_OVERLAY.PNG'".

Note sure if it matters, but I did run into an issue when upgrading from a9lh to b9s, again, following this guide: https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s. I got to "Section II - Installing boot9strap" of the guide. Nothing happens when I hold the the start button but the normal home screen loading. If I hold select on boot, the Luma settings load and appear to have uploaded (I think I was on 7 or 8.0 before) but that's it. But still, apps like FBI can't upgrade through the app so maybe that has something to do with my issue

But yeah, tldr; upgrading from a9lh to b9s My main goal at this moment is to use mystery gift function in the Gen7 Pokemon games for a Japanese code with either a US cartridge (USUM/SuMo) or US CIA (SuMo). I'm looking for the easiest way to do this when 1) don't see direct option in Luma settings and 2) the Luma Locale Switcher doesn't work at all. Thank you

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless

    the booty boogie from (once again) the donkey kong country cartoon could also be a good song to sing while playing sea of thieves
