Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre is a piece of software designed for visitors to
the Louvre Museum in France. This piece of downloadable software allows you
to enjoy the Nintendo 3DS audio guide that is used in the museum itself in
the comfort of your own home.
The software can be used in all sorts of ways: simulate your route around the
museum before visiting, or simply use it as a starting point for developing a
deeper appreciation of art.
Wonderful photographs and audio commentaries allow you to appreciate the
Louvre's artworks at your own pace. Use the floor maps provided to find your
way around the museum, and even take a virtual tour of the Louvre's enormous
exhibition spaces. The software also includes 3D models and high-resolution
images of certain artworks, making it an enjoyable experience that's only
available on Nintendo 3DS!

This guide is mostly distributed via e-shop all around the world, but a
limited amount of retail cartridges also exist. We found some and it gave us
really interesting dumps...

First, despite the fact that some people are not putting a region tag to their
3DS releases, we remind you that cartridges ARE locked to a precise region (due
to the update data included, age classification in a continent etc).
But here's the very first unlocked game! Not "region free" since it's not
working on asian consoles, but still natively playable on EUR and USA consoles
without any trick. Some clues about this can be found on the boxart too.
Then, problably due to this half region lock the game does not contain any
update file nor firmware verification. Just for fun we tried it on a 1.0.0 fw
but it didn't start. The 3DS just loops on the "red waves" loading screen forever.
Firmware 4.1.0 or higher are ok and run the game fine.
Merry x-mas!
