 == Extended Locale Setting ==
-Some games, most notably [[3DS:Tomodachi Life|Tomodachi Life]], are known to not launch with basic locale settings because they look not only at region and language, but sub-region within that region (e.g. a country/territory and/or a state). You can still set the locale of such a game, but you will have to follow the manual locale setting method (that is, create a file called <code>locale.txt</code> in <code>/luma/titles/<title ID of game>/</code>), since the automatic locale setters do not account for this.
+Extended locale settings will need to be done manually by creating a text file.
+# Insert your SD card into your computer
+# Navigate to <code>sd:/luma/titles/</code>
+#* Create the <code>titles</code> folder if it does not already exist
+# Create a folder with the title ID of the game
+#* You can get the game's title ID from [http://3dsdb.com/ here] (cartridges), [https://hax0kartik.github.io/3dsdb/ here] (digital games), or from the <code>FBI -> Titles</code> menu
+#* For example, Taiko no Tatsujin: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure's title ID is <code>0004000000190E00</code>, so you'd create a folder named <code>0004000000190E00</code>
+# Create a new text document and name it <code>locale</code>
+#* With file extensions enabled, the name of the file should be <code>locale.txt</code>
+# Type the desired locale (based on what the game '''expects''') into the text document
+#* The syntax of the extended locale setting is <code><region> <language> <country code> <state numerical ID></code>
+#* Valid regions include <code>JPN</code>, <code>USA</code>, <code>EUR</code>, <code>AUS</code>, <code>CHN</code>, <code>KOR</code>, <code>TWN</code>
+#* Valid languages include <code>JP</code>, <code>EN</code>, <code>FR</code>, <code>DE</code>, <code>IT</code>, <code>ES</code> <code>ZH</code>, <code>KO</code>, <code>NL</code>, <code>PT</code>, <code>RU</code>, <code>TW</code>
+#* All valid country codes can be found below, along with lists for most state IDs. For example:
+#** For an American copy of Tomodachi Life, you would want to write the text <code>USA EN US 00</code>
+#** For a European copy of Tomodachi Life set to French, you would want to write the text <code>EUR FR FR 00</code>
+# Save your changes
+# Remove your SD card and insert it into your device
-The syntax of the extended locale setting is <code><region> <language> <country code> <state numerical ID></code>. Valid regions include <code>JPN</code>, <code>USA</code>, <code>EUR</code>, <code>AUS</code>, <code>CHN</code>, <code>KOR</code>, <code>TWN</code>, and valid languages include <code>JP</code>, <code>EN</code>, <code>FR</code>, <code>DE</code>, <code>IT</code>, <code>ES</code> <code>ZH</code>, <code>KO</code>, <code>NL</code>, <code>PT</code>, <code>RU</code>, <code>TW</code>. All valid country codes can be found below, along with lists for state IDs. For example:
-* For an American copy of Tomodachi Life, you would want to write the text <code>USA EN US 01</code>
-* For a European copy of Tomodachi Life set to French, you would want to write the text <code>EUR FR FR 01</code>
