PSA : Not all games can be translated to other language
how would you know which game has that feature?
tbh there isnt a list but u can read some info on 3dsdb.com find games with multilanguage feature
@@sthetixofficial how about if the game is region free?
maybe it will work.. try it
it's a bit of a pity that it doesn't work with all games
...you are the paganini of 3ds...we now have four 3ds fully customized...for the rest of our lives...thanks to you...
Thank you so much! Some of my games would not boot on my Japanese 3DS because of a language and region error but now that I changed the region to USA and language to English, they work perfect 👍
As always amazing guide and content. Thanks for continuing to show the 3ds some love ❤
this worked perfectly, my kirby planet robobot wouldn’t change at all but I did the “choose local directory” and tried it again and it worked thanks a lot
I´m honestly SO grateful for your video, I had some struggles with my Japanese Nintendo because most of the games I had weren´t available in Japanese and I had no clue on how to fix that. But now, thanks to your video, I can experience my childhood games once again! Thank you so much! :D
You are welcome.
Man i really appreciate all of these tutorials you have done for 3ds stuff, all of these have really been helpful, thanks
Man keep it up with the 3ds and 2ds tutorials. Love it.
thank you sooo much. I lost my r4 cartridge couldn't be bothered to buy anoher one so I decided to put it on my 3ds instead thanks to your videos and realsed miles edgeworth investigations 2 didn't work with the english translation and this part helped me helps and it works thanks :D
I just tried to download a rom that was translated. I put it on my r4 card. It looked like the tile for the first investigations game that I have but when I tried to load it an error occurred. Do you know what the problem could be?
Sorry i dont know about it
Followed your instructions and it worked perfectly thank you!
Great to hear!
PERFECT! This was exactly what I was looking for!
This helped me fix a problem with my lumalocale app that i downloaded from universal updater. Thank you!
thanks so much for this video! my samus returns cia didn't work for some reason but using this guide I changed the reason and I can finally play it!
This is neat! Is there however a way to transform the locale of a Japanese 3DS to English? I would region change to USA, but it breaks the eShop. So i was hoping if maybe there was some kind of translation for the System Menu, System Settings, etc, at least the basics stuff since I know going to the eShop some stuff is forced in Japanese anyway.
thanks! this helped a lot
I really wanted to play Pokemon suepr mystery dungeon in Spanish but the game still start in English
I have fixed the problem with this Luma stuff
WOOHOO! This is great!
Many thanks!! Still working in 2023!!!
I was having problems with FE awakening DLC. This video solved the problem, thanks very much.
thank you! still works. had a Japanese 3DS and USA games kept crashing but this fixed it.
Thank you! This was very clear and easy to understand, even for a beginner like myself. :)
That's dope. It's a shame that the games' title and thumb in the 3DS Menu is unchanged - for instance, if you have games that were released worldwide, but have different thumbs, like Hyrule Warriors and Smash Bros, both title and thumb are unchanged (JP games will have their respective US titles and thumbs in a US console).
0:03 nice transition
Sthetix where have you been? Most of your past 3DS CFW and tutorial videos disappeared. Glad to see you
Thank you!! I needed this cuz my 3ds was an eu ver
Glad I could help!
Genius! Thanks for the tut!
omg this thing its super cool man, I tap my respective like to your channel bro
and this is for the latinamericans:
si eres de habla en espanol de casualidad pues neta que esto funciona solo sigue paso a paso lo que dice el joven del video y uuufff si sale se que esta en ingles solo usa tu logica pero awebo que esta buenisimo y si cambia el idioma jajaja parecia mentira pero nooo esta bien original, suerte instalandolo
BLESSed video, worked perfectly
Worked like a charm!
This is awesome!!!! Thanks so much.
It worked for me, thank you!
Thanks I needed this to play japanese animal crossing
There were some games that didn't open(black screen). Changing the region to USA fixed it. Thanks!
Excellent guide - thanks!
You sir are a life saver.
can u plz make a video on how to make custom cia's i can't find any videos on youtube on it
You're awesome, thank you so much for your tutorials
I have Pokemon X on cartridge but can't change the language although it should be possible. Does this software work with cartridge game or just installed ones?
THIS WAS IT!!! I can finally play my US zelda game on my UK 3ds
thank you very much you helped me a lot with this tutorial.
Its Really Amazing Video Tnx And Keep it up
Hey hey. I have been a bit out of the game for a while. Glad you keep making tutorials. I am always a huge fan of your work. 👍👍
Fun fact. I remember the first video you did to change language. I think that’s when I start following you.
yeah
You should do one on luma locale region auto setter I had trouble setting this up it’s used for dlcs I think it would really help others into home brew/cfw
Hello, sthetix! I was wondering if you could do a video on implementing a language patch to a game?
Does this work for the 3DS HighSchool DXD game? I want to play that game in English.
Thank you very much. Work really well.
You're welcome!
I wish I found this video first before I change the region
I made the mistake of buying ten of these from japan because they were so cheap and thinking I could MOD them but found out it was too hard to follow the instructions since it's in Japanese do you know of any videos that solve this problem? or am I now a proud owner of ten paperweights.
u want to install cfw?
@@sthetixofficial Yes cfw and god 9 I think it is called I have modded my American 3ds so I thought it would be easy to do the Japanese model also but found it was too hard to follow because most videos half the time show you what button to push than the other half of it talks you thru it and when that happens I can't follow because my menu is in Japanese.
@@sthetixofficial And one other thing all the videos to change the language you have to have it modded already wish there was a way to change the language first and then mod it, I guess I might have to learn Japanese lol, or maybe just resale them on eBay.
watch my new browserhax xl guide.. it is easy to do.
use ur phone translator if u dont understand japanese (google translator with camera function)
@@sthetixofficial Sounds like a plan Thanks.
Great video. Thanks.
excellent, thank you!
This is great. I have a second japanese 3ds that i didn't want to do the whole region hack that I did with the other one. This def solves that problem to some degree. Hopefully the language changes in ds games running from twilightmenu
Did you try it and if so does it work?
@@prismanax Sorry kind of late reply. It does work! But now that the eshop is closing I prefer just hard region changing the console so the interface appears in the desired language. With this videos method the logos and 3ds ui were still in japanese but once you got into the game everything was in english. With a hard region change everything appears in english the only limitation being you can't update games from the eshop so you have to download the update cia files elsewhere (they are easy to find though).
Theoretically, do you think we'd be able to play Japanese physical cartridge games in English using the same method?
yes u can.
Thank you very much master 🙏
Nice info!
Thank you!!!🤩 I had to resort to buying a Japanese 3DS because North American 3DS's are hella expensive. EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN THE US! wtf.🙄
I have a new 3ds LL and also a USA Old 2ds That I was playing majoras mask 3d with and I am pretty far in But I wanna play it on my new 3ds which is home-brewed using your vids (thanks btw awesome tutorials) but I’m concerned if I do this will I lose my save data on my majoras mask cart?
Also reason I’m doing this is for some reason majoras mask shows a error everytime I try and start it up. But my US Ocarina of time works flawlessly.
UPDATE: I tried it anyway and changed the region and language to USA and English even though it is a USA game cartridge. And it worked! Thanks so much man now I can finally play it on a bigger screen. Also I still have all my save data
grandeee
stil works thank you very much
No problem 👍
hello, I have a very important question and I'd really appreciate if you could help me.
Theoretically, if I were to change my 3DS region to US since it's a Japanese 3DS, would the Luma3DS be able to locate my Japanese Fire Emblem Fates cartridge and also translate it or wouldn't it work since it's region locked?
the console can run out of region games without changing the region.
@@sthetixofficial alright thanks for the answer!
but can the luma locale switcher change my Japanese Fire Emblem Fates cartridge and make it so the game is in English or is it only for games that are installed directly in the 3DS?
Hey Sthetix great video! I’ve been using this Luma locale switcher for a long while since originally watching your video. However, was wondering was there any update to this app or a new app has come onto the scene where it automatically sets the region instead of manually doing each game?
u need to do it manually
Thanks for this Video. It helped me a lot👍. Does this method also work for NDS Games and if so, how, because they are not listed in the Titles section but only the 3DS Games
it doesnt work for nds games
Thank you so much!
Oh this will be more useful maybe instead of region changing it
Thanks just ordered a Japanese 3ds LL
is this compatible with ds games? i tried changing the language on my japanese copy of pokemon black and i went into the game and it was still japanese
i think not.
i literally had the same question, it's so frustrating like i wish it would 😭
Same problem, I guess there is no English in the game card, I can't change it. I have two Japanese playing cards in my hand
thanks a ton man
No problem!
Great video! I had a question about a Japanese game that wasn't released in the US, so it was never localized, I'm guessing that game wouldn't work to switch to English?
Not all game can be translated
Hi, I have a 2DS LL and the steps couldn’t change in game language of Wario or Luigi’s mansion
This is a useful app! Are these games already has English language or this is fanmade patches? If these languages were already in a game data then why region lock exists on this console?!?!
And also I think this app also would be great to see on Nintendo Switch. There are some games requires to change console language to play it on different language. Octopath Travellers say this thing when start the game, but it doesn't allow to change it in game options. That's sad...
these games are by default have the English language
@@sthetixofficial first of all I'm interested in Chinese and Japanese languages
@@Lady_Lilith666 When coming to language option, Square Enix sometimes really drops its balls as there is no way to have language and subtitle option simultaneously or they don't even provide neither one of them.
For example, games like The World Ends With You, EVEN THE ASIA VERSION (Taiwan and Hong Kong), doesn't even have that and the VA in that region is still English only, but not Japanese which I fucking despise Square Enix in terms of that questionable language option handling and the default Voice Language choice.
And as I'm personally more towards the JP voice than ENG one (with few exceptions) when playing a Japanese game, The game as I mention is a hard pass for me unfortunately just because of that bullshit alone. And if the sequel is also running this route, then I will pass that too without a doubt :3
Will this work on bravely defualt's friend feature? I cant update the data on the game since it asks me to accept the net terms, which I've already done before
Dose it work on 11.15?
Because my 2DS is EU and I tryed to play USA games, but it crashes.
Is there an easy solution?
it does. maybe it is just a bad game
👏👏
Is Persona q2 compatible with this? I bought a Japanese copy on eBay and I wanna make it an American copy?
hey sthetix so i have 3DS AUS region console. So that means I have to install EUR region games.
But I usually download USA region games because they’re smaller in size and also have no censorship compared to EUR region.
Usually I download via hshop cos its automatically sets region.
But sometimes I want to install a USA region 2GB game via FBI from my mac instead of hshop as its too slow.
So in this case should my LumaLocaleSwitcher for that 2GB USA game be set to "EUR" and "ENG" or "USA" and "ENG" if I have a pal region AUS console?
lumalocaleswitcher is usually used for those who wants to change the game language from Japan to English. It is not useful if you want to change from english to english again.
@@sthetixofficial ok cheers!
I'm a little confused here. For example in Mario 3d land I have to download the European CIA to use the European languages or do the CIAs of all regions have all the languages?
not all games can be translated
@@sthetixofficial I know. but that's not what I asked.
@sthetix I booted Luma3DS and enabled game patching on two different devices. When I pressed to start to save and reboot the screens started to flicker on both consoles (top screen on one, bottom on the other). Each of the screens flickering were both IPS displays. When I turn off game patching the screens stop flickering. Have you seen this before? Any ideas on why that setting is causing the issue?
hmm, sorry i never encountered that error or issue
Is there one for switch as disgiaea 6 is only Japanese
I wonder if Dragon Quest 11 for 3ds will be translated to english..
i dont know.. try it
Try it and let me know.
Yes. Maybe I will try it. I tried it to SMT Strange Journey and change the language to french but nothing happened. Haha guess it doesn't support french lols
Update: I tried running it and selecting English region and language for Theatrhythm Dragon Quest, but when I loaded the game, nothing changed.
@@nincompoopknight Maybe it won't work with others that not support this feature.. ☹️
Will this fix the "Generic Sango-1" error i get when I try to play my English Omega Ruby oj my EURO 3DS?
I don't know. sorry
As I've read in the comments, it does not work with DS games, so my question is I guess it doesn't work with even older stuff? GBA and earlier?
it is for 3ds games only
Question, I speak English but am in Europe so downloaded the European lego batman 3 cia, the game language can be changed in settings but it only translates texts. The voice acting is German. Will this fix it or should I select the US version on the cia site?
i think it wont fix the language sound.
Does this affect physical copies? Like if I put it in another system, will it retain that language, or is it only for one system?
it is for one system only
I think it affect physical game too
Hello, im just wondering. Should i have to mod the 3ds first before i install luma? Or is it ok without it? Where is that fbi? I dont have it.
hack the console first then you got luma3ds
@@sthetixofficial thank you so much. I got it now. But the games i tried to language change didnt work. Hehehe =) so unfortunate.
When I try to hold select and turn power button on it keeps going to Godmode9 and not the Luma Local Switcher Configuration screen. What did I do wrong?
Luma locale switcher is an app, not a payload
Is it possible to change the language of a gba game on my 3ds? I have pokemon emerald on my 3ds & want to change it to a japanese file, but I can’t find info on this anywhere
not possible.
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH
You're welcome!
This probably works with downloads only , right? Was trying to change the language from monster hunter x (the game card version) to EN, but it didn’t work.
some people said it work on carts too
Does this work with physical games or ds games? Currently searching for literally way to translate a Japanese copy of Pokémon black.
it does.
Does this work with game cards?
Does it work with physical games? Let’s say I insert one DS game on my 3DS, would the translation work on games like these?
afaik, it does
@@sthetixofficial Alright! Thank you so much dude
did this work for you? For 3ds cartridges it worked but not for DS games
@@ponpo185 Nope, it didn’t work, but it might work with certain games, if you got a few, try them
@@MokkaX03 I found a workaround just now. You can make a backup file of the ds game (and your save file) with godmode and then launch it as a rom with twilight menu ++. But first you need to change the language on the nds bootstrap settings page and there you go
Will this work on 3ds games that were only released in Japan? And if not is there a way to play 3ds games that were only released in Japan in English?
Not all games can be translated
That is outside of fan translations. Right?
Is anyone else having troubles with Dragon Quest 8? I have a Japanese 2ds xl and I can't change the language.
does it still work? i want to change my games to dutch but not working
might be the games not having a dutch translation not sure
not all games can be translated
wont work, any titles i change crashes, or it doesn't translate
edit: nvm I just had to wait about 1 and a half minutes! Thx! :D
edit 2: DO NOT TRY THIS ON ACNL IT WILL CORRUPT UR SAVE
edit 3: HELP MY BACKUP WONT RESTORE MY SAVE DATA
edit 4: I fixed it by changing my locale settings to how it was before, rather then system defaults.
I got a .cia of a game that was never released outside of Japan (Pokémon Green) does this work for that?
Not all games can be translated
I havea problem with smash. I set it to english (It was on spanish) but when trying to go back to spanishor another language the game doesn´t start. how can I fix it?
hmm disable game patches on luma configuration screen
Nice
cool
You can do this to 3ds Game cardtrige like yo j’ai Watch 3 sushi its a japanesse version?
i think you can.
Can it work too on an actual japanese game cartridge?
Can I ask if you tried it out?
Does this work with cartridges too?? Because Im planning on buying a jp game cartridge.
i think it does.
ty
Are there any compatibility issues regarding this when it comes to Pokemon games?
Might be,
