regionFOUR the Region Free Loader for 3DS updated
Remember smealum’s regionFOUR, successor of Regionthree? Now it is updated to support all New3DS/New3DSXL/3DS/3DSXL/2DS models with firmwares 9.0 through 9.7 (including 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6). Previous version only supported versions 9.2 and 9.7. Get your out of region cartridges ready.
regionFOUR lets you use your out of region cartridges on your 3DS and it bypasses any forced firmware updates on the cartridge if possible. The usage is similar to ninjhax, you need to have a Cubic Ninja cartridge on the same region as your 3DS, you need to scan a QR code and have an internet connection ready. If you prefer to install the exploit to your cartridge, internet connection is a one-time-only requirement. After the exploit is triggered, you should eject the cubic ninja cartridge, plug your out of region game cartridge and press Start. That is all. Here is a video by smealum describing the process:
Let’s hope Nintendo understands region-locking is meaningless and makes Nintendo NX region free so we don’t have to jump through hoops.

This is even more great news for all the pirates out there. When is the Vita cfw coming out so we can steal and pirate those games?
never.
We don’t discuss piracy on this site as we do not tolerate or approve of it.
How does this help pirates in any way? It requires physical out-of-region carts to work..
They’re trollin’ or very misinformed.
This allows sky3ds (which acts like a real physical 3ds game card) to play region free games.
Oh yeah first and second, viva La Steal!

You missed a golden opportunity then:
“Viva La Stealer” has poetic rhyme, where “Viva La Steal” is rather benign…
I see what you did there lol
So would FW 9.2 be the best possible FW for modding right now? It has that Ninjahax CIA loader and this after all.
Yeah, stay on 9.2 fur sure. With the eshop spoofer, region-free cias and PASTA, it’s pretty good to stay there. You don’t have to FW spoof newer games, if thats your thing, running PASTA on 9.2, like with some of the 4.5 CFWs.
Forget the Nintendo NX. I’m hoping at some point Nintendo turns off region-locking through some firmware update for the 3DS.
Hope is all we have.
Nintendo has already stated they won’t remove the existing region lock for 3DS and Wii-U, but they consider making their next device region-free.
