A team hacker, says he's managed to modify the 3DS handheld's code to allow anyone interested to be able to play games imported from different regions than their own.
Those interested in the process should have the 4.5 firmware or earlier and access a DS flashcard, according to the magazine The Escapist .
Η amendment it's carefully crafted so that you can't play bootleg game roms (ROMs) but only genuine games intended for a different geographic zone than yours (which means a jailbroken 3DS can't become a device that plays pirated titles).
Nintendo has made it clear that they don't want to eliminate her region locking from the 3DS and there will likely be a new firmware released for the machine that will make the current hack obsolete.
