How do I install luma3ds on a Japanese 3ds
I have a Japenese 3ds and I need to convert it to America. So I need to install Luma3ds to my 3ds But I dont know how to so can anyone help me?
You don't need to convert anything to America, English, etc. Luma works on all 3ds, regardless of regions. See further instructions here: https://3ds.hacks.guide/key-information
pretty sure they want to region change a jap system to english, using a vid that shows each screen or a simple phone translation app to get past each screen

I also recommend using CTRTransfer from the 3ds.hacks.guide, because it also lets you region-change your system: https://3ds.hacks.guide/region-changing
First you need to install cfw, before you can region change it to NA. Read through the guide carefully here and follow whatever method that is available to you.
Please dont link Youtube videos since they are often out of date. The guide is much more safe to use.
there's no point. i guess you can flash the ntsc-u firmware. or is that not possible on 3ds. im a noob, i legit just modded my 3ds.
What "region lock"? Also there's no such setting in Luma3DS Menu, well because it doesn't need it. Just by installing Luma3DS itself, it allows you to play out-of-region games from the get go..
That's what people were suggesting, doing a region change (after installing cfw of course).
It really needs to be said that Luma3DS itself is not enough for a fully functional Japan 3DS if you are wanting to play out-of-region games on it. Luigi's Mansion 1 USA for example will hang on a black screen if it's run on a Japan 3DS with Luma3DS installed and nothing else. Other games like Pokemon Sun/Moon/UltraSun/UltraMoon will default to Japanese language until you choose English.
You must do two additional things:
1) Enable Game Patching in Luma3DS settings (Hold Select then turn on 3DS)
2) Grab LumaLocaleSwitcher from GitHub, the .cia file, install it and then you use this to force region settings for problem games.
Inside LumaLocaleSwitcher, select "Choose Locales Directory", then choose "/luma/titles/%s/locale.txt". After that, go back out and select Titles then pick a game and update the Change Region and Change Language options to USA and En respectively.
It is completely normal for LumaLocaleSwitcher to completely freeze and become unresponsive after changing a few game titles. Just hold the power button to force shut off, then turn back on and resume your progress in LumaLocaleSwitcher again.

No, it's only a highly recommended addendum to a Luma3DS install, if one is going to play lots of out-of-region games.

Make sure you're using the latest superskater-hax exploit and the correct one for your region.

@BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example+1 -

If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds+1 -
@
BigOnYa:
What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted -

@
K3Nv2:
Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1

K3Nv2:
For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1

@
K3Nv2:
So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.

They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree

I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups

I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start

But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
