New exploit allows for non-New 3DS systems to bypass region lock

It’s now possible to bypass the 3DS’ region lock through a simple exploit.

The exploit, known as “RegionThree”, only requires system owners to download a file and access the Internet. You can check out the process in the video above, and view full instructions here.

This exploit does work with the latest version of the 3DS’ firmware. However, it’s not compatible with New 3DS systems.
