Hi guys, I just bought the 3ds xl european version. Because I wanted to play the 3ds game "Rune Facory 4", which I bought in the US during my holiday. Until now I had the DSi XL and it wasn't a problem to play US-Games. Unfortunately Nintendo startet to built the 3ds with a region code. Is there a way that I still can play the orginial 3ds games and ds games on my 3ds xl european version? Thanks for your help. Best regards thanks for all tips, guys, i finally ordered one r4i gold 3ds card from dsflashcart site this one http://www.dsflashcart.com/r4i-gold-3ds-wood-r4i-3ds-flashcard-for-ds-dsi-3ds-p-248.html can'r wait for it.
R4i Gold Card for 3DS xl with wood kernel are the best available solution right now. It has near perfect workable lists of DS games on 3DS console. And AFAIK, no region lock http://www.r4flashcart.com/8-wood-r4i-gold-3ds-flashcart-for-3ds-xl-3ds-dsi-and-ds-lite.html This place is great. Great prices too.
Well there is a 3ds version of the R4 http://www.thegamerdepot.com/buy-wood-r4i-gold-3ds-card-for-3ds-xl3dsdsids-p-150.html is the best out there, get this r4i gold card and put the Wood kernel on it. You won't be disappointed.
if you want to play 3ds games, only the gateway 3ds card can do it. and if you want to play ds games, a lot of r4 cards can do it, recommend the r4i gold 3ds card, this one: http://www.modchipfactory.com/wood-r4i-gold-3ds-flash-cart-for-3ds-xl-3ds-dsi-and-ds-lite-p-1.html
