I recently picked up paper mario sticker star for a friend. (european copy), and dumped the cartridge on my modded 3DS. fast forward to today when I finally try to actually play the dump installed as a CIA on my modded 3DS, I get the error code
Code:
0xc8804470
naturally, I tested the .3ds in an emulator, and it works perfectly fine, so I'm at a loss for what to do. this was tested on 2 3DS systems, both with cfw. one japanese unit, and one american unit. of course, they're both modded, so they're both region free, so it being a European copy shoulnd't be a problem? no other 3DS game does this, so I'm really not sure what to do. any ideas?

I found a solution for an issue similar to yours:

I found this because I was getting that error for DQVIII.


European N3DS,
Cart was bought in America (because).
128Gb MicroSD, CFW (you know the story)


The solution was to use FBI to determine the title of your offending game (starts 0004, my DQVIII was 000400000018F100), then pop out the SD card, open it on a computer - navigate to your Luma folder, inside create a folder named 'titles'. Inside the 'titles' folder, create another folder named the title of your offending game (starts 0004). Inside that folder, create a text file 'locale.txt', and in the text file type (in caps) the region and language of your game....
example: 'USA EN' (which is what I put for my American DQVIII).


So in my case, the path looked like this:
"\luma\titles\000400000018F100\locale.txt"


Next step, put the SD card back in your 3DS, hold 'Select' when powering on your 3DS to get into Luma menu, and then make sure you enable game patching.


Press 'Start' to save and exit, and then try out your game!

In your case, have locale.txt say "EUR EN" instead.

yep, that worked. thank you so much!
I'm relatively new to 3DS homebrew stuff (I have had this thing modded for a year now, but haven't touched it much ><), and couldn't find anything on that error on google, lol

    Biomutant looks cool tho, may have to try that
  • Quincy @ Quincy:
    Usually when such a big title leaks the Temp will be the first to report about it (going off of historical reports here, Pokemon SV being the latest one I can recall seeing pop up here)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I still like how a freaking mp3 file hacks webos all that security defeated by text yet again
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    oh you mean the 3rd party apps on Kodi, yea i know what you mean, yea there are still a few cool ones, in fact watched the new planet of the apes movie other night w wifey thru one, was good pic surprisingly, not a cam
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
