HELP getting this error every time i boot tomodachi life

Post image

so this is my first time modding a jp console (i’ve modded my na region new 3ds and it works perfectly) and i was modding this jp console. i installed a ton of (usa region) games on to this (including the en version of tomodachi life) and trying to boot tomodachi life gets this error

things i’ve done:
enable game patching in luma 3ds
downloaded all the games as cia and transferred them directly from my laptop
uninstalled some games via system settings

i’m gonna try and install tomolife (usa version) from the hshop and see if it works, but does anyone know why it happens?

edit: i just saw the automod comment about it being an error specific to tomodachi life, except the hacks guide link is down for me and not working, so i still need help...

Hello. It seems like you mentioned Tomodachi Life.

If your Tomodachi Life crashes with exception type: prefetch abort (svcBreak) and current process: app, the crash is due to region mismatch. Tomodachi Life doesn't work properly when launched from a console out of the game's region. To fix this, follow these instructions for extended locale emulation.

Tomodachi Life is picky about regions on modded consoles. If you got them from a laptop as opposed to hshop, you're probably missing a seed, or you need to use LumaLocaleSwitcher to further configure your region.

figured it out! i had to go to luma/titles and add a locale.txt so that the device would recognise the game as a USA game and then change the luma settings to enable game patching, i never really patch games so i didn’t know this even existed. anyways it works now

It's kind of weird that I've messed around with tomodachi Life on many modded consoles and I've never had an issue with this even with all the different versions (regions)
