hello.
in some hypothetical circumstance where i'm getting a new 3ds XL to replace my old beat up one, i'm wondering something... if i were to buy a n3ds LL, and swap the mainboard from my us XL, would it be smooth sailing as far as my nintendo account/etc are concerned? i'm running cfw and it's a bit of a pain to hack another 3ds, not to mention i'd figure system transfer is a nightmare, and i like the "pearl white" housing color only offered in the jp reigon.
basically, i'm wondering if the main region locking is limited to only the mainboard, or if it's a different cartridge reader as well or something? and would my current mainboard recognize it was paired with different hardware and not work? sorry, i don't really know how to research it myself.
