Add some more info on kartdlphax

Description

This pull request adds a piece of information that might be very helpful for some people trying to get CFW on updated consoles: the source 3DS can be region-changed to match the target 3DS.

kartdlphax requires two consoles on the same region, but nowhere does the documentation state whether region changed consoles work as the source 3DS; after a desperation move by myself today to get two JPN old 3DS LL on 11.17.0 running CFW, i can confirm it works even if the source 3DS wasn't originally the same region, as I did it using a region-changed EUR old 3DS.

This info might be very helpful for people in the same situation as me, that have consoles from different regions and don't want to buy a flashcart.

On further thought, does kartdlphax actually care about the source console's region?

It should have nothing to do with the console's region but rather the game's region, i.e. the source console needs the MK7 game from the target console's region.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because at the moment my 3DS is across the Pacific ocean and I can't test anything.

I had the same thought, but sadly it seems like it does: before region changing the european one I tried using it with the JPN MK7 and the game didn't show up in the target (japanese) consoles, so i'm guessing download play has region locking built in and won't show games from consoles from other regions, even though the game's region matches the target console's.

After region changing the european 3DS to Japan, everything worked as expected, using the same japanese game, so region definitely matters in some way

Afaik, console region do affect, the reason there is that 3ds download play itself is region locked (based on console region, regardless of game design), hence luma have patch to unlock it (only work when both modded afaik it seems that only receiveing side need to be modded)

Seems fine outside of the above.

I guess I'm a little out of touch; I feel that just mentioning two consoles with identical regions would imply that a region change works but I suppose not everyone understands that exactly.
