=== Effects of Region Lockout ===
=== Effects of Region Lockout ===
Every 3DS title regardless of location (NAND/SD Card/Game Card) is subject to region lockout scrutiny by the Home Menu. And the home menu treats 'out-of-region' titles by simply refusing to show them on the home menu. No messages are shown on the home menu to notify the user, the title is simply ignored. However out-of-region SD Card titles, will appear and quickly disappear, while all the SD Titles are being processed. In cases where access to the home menu GUI is not needed to launch the title (like in the case of kiosk demos), the home menu states an error has occurred, and launching of the title is stopped.

== Home-menu [[SpotPass]] usage ==
Home-menu uses two domains with HTTPS for SpotPass. SpotPass stores this content in Home-menu's NAND shared extdata.
* The system notifications are downloaded from: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/103046/10m/npdl.c.app.nintendowifi.net/p01/nsa/<regionID>/bashoX/<langcode>/bashoX Where langcode is the two-character language codes from [[Config_Savegame|config]], X is 0-3, and regionID is from the below table.
* The pls.c.shop.nintendowifi.net domain is used for uploading data from the home menu NAND shared extdata, it's unknown what this is used for. This is uploaded every 24 hours.
