OpenRegion is a homebrew that can bypass region lock on 3DS firmware v4.x and v6.x.

Launch games from any region using the well known DS profile exploit in System Settings.

Installation

Dependancies

• ropMultiloader or another working ROP chain installer.
• A DS mode flash cart that works with your firmware version.

Note: ropMultiloader 1.1 (by Cyan) is included in the archive.

Installing

For firmware version 4.x:

Install ROP using a DS mode flash cart (choose Launcher.dat 4.x when using the ropMultiloader).

Copy the Launcher.dat file to the root of your SD card.

For firmware version 6.x:

Install ROP using a DS mode flash cart (choose MSetForBoss.dat 6.x when using the ropMultiloader).

Copy the Launcher.dat file to the root of your SD card.

Compiling

If you wish to compile the source yourself then you will need to:

• Download ARMIPS.
• Change the ARMIPS_PATH variable in the Makefile accordingly.

User guide

After putting the game cart in your 3DS goto:

System Setting -> Other Settings -> Profile -> Nintendo DS Profile.

Then wait a few seconds for your game to launch.

Changelog

2015/04/02

• Added 6.x support. Region unlock on 6.x that only requires a ds mode flash cart to set up and can run alongside ninjhax. It also installs perfectly fine through bangai-o sploit.

2015/01/23

• Right now it only works on 4.1-4.5 and while you can already do this with a gateway, this doesn't require emuNand and it boots faster.
