FUCKING
REGION
LOCK
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU
WHY DID I EVEN UPDATE MY 2DS WITH IRONHAX FUUUUUUUUUUUCK GOD DAMN IT
WHAT'S EVEN THE POINT OF REGION LOCKING THE GAMES IT DOESN'T STOP PIRATES IT JUST STOPS LEGITIMATE PEOPLE LIKE ME FROM PLAYING THE GAMES
>>25752745
should've just bought a R4
>>25752757
I don't want to pirate
that aside, I DID have one but the stupid fucking chinks took so long to send it (4 months) I thought they just scammed me and I updated my 2ds outside of the supported firmware
>>25752745
Downgrade to 9.2 from 10.7 and set up a9lx or an emunand with a cfw idiot
The funny thing: you can find DS Lites pretty much anywhere cheap.
>>25752772
I'm using a 2ds, can you even do that with one?
>>25752786
yea, when looking at requirements and documentation the 2ds will always fall wonder the o3ds. they run the same software and have the same hardware. There may be an issue with the 2.1 downgrade in a9lx since the 2ds wasn't out when 2.1 was but that's about it. just check the hombrew general on /v/ or gbatemp
idiot
There's no regionlock on ds games though...
>paying for vanilla pokemon
Just get the rom then.
>>25753160
Black is ~~~~DSi Enhanced~~~~, and does in fact have region lock
there was a big uproar about it when it first came out
>>25753175
Ah forget I've said anything then
>>25752745
>not pirating
>not at the very least hacking your DS so you can be region free
I don't understand, LITERALLY every firmware of the 3DS is hackable/downgradeable
you have no excuse.
>>25753224
>pirating dsi enhanced games on the original hardware
I've a dstwo, it's simply not good enough for pokemon.
>>25753224
I DID have it hacked but I fucking updated it and now it doesn't work
I also don't have a physical copy of OoT so I can't use that method either
not to mention DS games still fucking suck in emulation
>>25752745
If you have an original DS or a DS Lite it'll work
>>25753278
I do have an original but fuck, is it even worth it to play on one of those
>>25753287
Play on emulator. Speed-ups are gods gift.
Also resolution scaling
>>25752745
Just contact the seller.
Paypal ALWAYS favours the buyer if you file a claim, so he'll definitively refund you.
>>25752745
I bet this was Unova's fault
>>25753236
hogwash. I easily played black and black 2 on my dstwo.
>>25754033
>easily played
Not at 100% of its capacity. You can easily notice the difference if you have the legit game running side by side.
>>25752745
>Not playing it the way God intended
what the fuck is wrong with you, OP?
>>25752745
Scrap all copyright laws.
Allow cheap chinese DS's that ignore regions.
Allow cheap chinese cartridges that pretend to be any region in your DS.
>>25756577
Shame the Pirate Party are shit.
