I'm going to have to do this via the 3ds rom method as Decrypt9WIP wont load up. Should be easier with RXTools
Sadly he recently said that he won't work on 3ds stuff for some time.

Gonna do that now lol just installing game atm since I accidentally went to data management in sysnand hours ago lol
Once I've got all the steps worked out I'll post an easy guide.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Decrypting the 3DS Rom. 10% compete.
I will use the decrypted rom to patch the romfs.
Rebuild the 3DS Rom and then use simple cia converter to make a RF cia file.

I am honestly clueless with this stuff, so I have a few questions to ask:
I downloaded the .3ds MHX rom but it won't open. I got gateway back in february and haven't updated it since. To update, I open gateway and then go to the settings and system update correct? This will update the emunand and not the sysnand?
With the .3ds rom, can I get this english patch? Or should I download the .cia version of it?
In regards to the above poster, what is decrypting the rom and what does it do? I've read a few posts and it seems important but I don't really follow...
Lastly, I am assuming that the english translation works as like a patch to the game. So I assume that if the english patch gets updated, I just need to change the translation .cia file and it will run fine with the updated translation?
Also, is it possible to like put the translation into the rom? As in, you just download the rom file and it comes with the translation?
Sorry for noob questions, I am really clueless with this.

Thanks a ton
I'm pretty sure I can't post links here.
So I will upload them to *snip* or something.

Nice work on the translation patch, surprised to see one ready to go so quickly.
Hopefully someone can make a HANS update, as it is my only way to use this.
Also, can someone please tell me if MHX loads in Homebrew's region free app so I can atleast play it in Japanese? If it doesn't work in HANS or region free I have wasted $100 importing a copy.

I'm right in saying I have to use "DecryptedRomFS.bin" to patch. Right? Have to rename it first to RomFS. Correct?
Yeah, to update your emuNAND, boot to emuNAND and update in settings, EXCEPT if you are using a New 3DS since nothing supports 9.5+ emuNAND. You'll have to update your launcher.dat to support the latest emuNAND though. And this has nothing to do with the current topic.
Someone reported on page 10 that it worked.
Decrypting the rom is useful to make a patched rom.
That's not really how it works. If you use a .3ds (or .3dz) with NTR on a New 3DS, you only have to update like 20MB on your SD card. If you use a patched rom, you'll have to update the rom (like reinstalling the whole 1.5GB cia if you use a cia version of the game).
Yes. Most people are either doing it now or waiting for others to do it.

Working fine here so far with NTR patcher (GW emunand at 9.5 with a headered 3DZ).
The 'at maximum.' text appears to appear before the item name that's maxed and 'Water Resistance' is so too long a string for Talismans and overlaps the number making the point total impossible to read.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
