Check if the config setting is actually enabled in Luma

[Possum]

I don't think it's possible to verify what CFW is running, but I would assume most users will be running Luma. It's probably a good idea to check Luma's config file at start up whether it is enabled and warn the user they have to reboot and enable it if it's not (this app could probably be made enable it for them, but using Luma's settings manager is safer). User should be able to disable the check if preferred (esp. for users of other CFW).

The last part shouldn't be needed, i think: If you can find the luma config file they're using Luma, otherwise it's not Luma. And would this program even be useful to anyone else?

Luma3DS can not boot without a config file, well, it can, but then it boots int config and you choose settings and it's created. (Just double tested that.)

So I would say, if it's possible to activate via this program, give the user that information and the option to do it or not. And if it's not possible, tell the user it's not activated and to activate it via Luma3DS config, by holding 'select' on boot.

This is geared primarily for Luma users, but this can work for Luma-derived CFWs as well - I run SaltFW on a couple systems for instance. Also, I wanted to make it more or less future proof in case other CFWs want to make it compatible.

So this app will allow me to change menus on my jap 3ds to english without changing region? I believe Ive done everything right but no change is happening

@pnsbn NO - it does nothing like that. You will need to do a full region change to get that effect.

It is only used to spoof the region and language reported by the system to games that react differently.

For instance, some out of region games will crash if the wrong region is reported. Other games that have English coded in, for instance, might switch in the context of that game to English if enabled (EUR games commonly have multiple languages and check the system setting, and some China/Taiwan region games). It won't magically make a Japan-only game with no English translation automatically English for instance.

I hope that helps explain. I will try to update the README to make it more clear.

By the way, this is completely off topic to this issue.

My bad, someone told me thats what they thought this app was for, so thats
why I came.

Also I'm new to this site, is there any other way to ask questions or
comment in the future? Thanks

I would personally prefer questions to be submitted as a new issue. I don't know if there's a "standard" among github users (although I'm sure some devs would completely ignore you since this effectively spams everyone watching the thread). Filing a new issue of that sort could lead to a doc patch to prevent future confusion.

There is also now a reddit thread, with comments that are similar to your question.

I don't mean to come off as harsh - since you are "new" :) I think both github and the 3ds hacking community are generally full of open and friendly people. But it's always appreciated that you make use of whatever resources that are available if possible.

Since your question (changing the menu language) is not specific to this app, but more about region changing, I suggest you seek out documentation on that topic instead. I would also encourage you to peruse the 3dshacks reddit, or even ask questions on the #3dshacks channel on Rizon.
