Nintendo blocking SEED requests for pre-release in some regions

Looks like with Kirby Robobot, if you request the SEED with the country set to US, you get a 404. Setting it to JP or GB gives the seed correctly.

May need to just loop through all of the country codes to see if we can get a key, instead of using the country of the 3DS we're running on.

How did you change your region just to get the seed?

The seed servers just accept the region as a string (?country=US), I just did some testing while I was at work. I'll be working on a fix this weekend sometime to deal with this in the future though.

Ah yeah, managed to download the seed manually after figuring out the URL. Thanks

FWIW, my solution will probably be checking the pre_order or seed_published values from ninja and change region accordingly. But you can just as well try all country codes (ones that matter) to see if any work.
