I thought something was weird, so I brought out my second O3DS and tried running the script with lpp-3ds "R2". There was no green pixel and it actually finished in about 2 minutes (although I didn't have theme rotation on). Give me a moment...

It depends on what region is your 3DS ( https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/CHMM/blob/master/source/index.lua#L60-L72 )

Anyway, you got a freeze on startup probably cause the theme you tried to apply is too big for the 3DS extdata.

Now it says I can't access extdata archive.

Edit: Oh, gotta create a new file...I'll change to a basic theme and try again.

edit: hey it works. Thanks. Um, what if I eventually want to reset to a Nintendo theme? Can I do that without it freezing like when I used extdatatool?

Last edit I promise: Yup, didn't freeze. I love you for the help, ihaveamac. Thanks for being patient when I was ranting and raving last night....I get easy frustrated and things never wanna work for me the first time it seems.

Ok, so I ran it with the released version of lpp-3ds, and it finished quickly.

5 Theme Shop themes and 5 Basic ones were used in the rotation. Is this what you wanted?

All of the files are dumped, but one of them is nearing a gigabyte in size, which isn't normal I hope.

It seems like 2CD_BgmCache_09.bin wants to be huge, so I'm setting the themes in a different order to see if that solves it...

@Rinnegatamante So I am coming across a rather interesting problem, where the first extdata file I dump (when I clear the other ones from the SD card) never stops expanding. I tried doing it with ThemeManage.bin and the same thing happened. I think if I start with an unrelated file, it might work, but that's just a guess.

So I've hit a strange issue where I can't seem to dump a file without it constantly growing in size. Right now I have every file except 2CD_BgmCache_09.bin dumped. If you think that it might be similar enough where it doesn't have to be included, do you want all of them as-is now? It doesn't seem to be a problem with this specific file since it happens to multiple sometimes.

Can you check with an HEX editor if these files are always repeated? (like if it is only a file but repeated)

I'm sorry but I don't have much experience with a hex editor. But what I have noticed is that each 2CD_BgmCache_XX.bin (and the one without numbers) file is the same size in bytes (3371008), so the last file could be reduced to the same size, right?

Yes, the files i'm interested the most are BodyCache.bin, BodyCache_rd.bin and ThemeManage.bin

I'm really sorry this took so long, just dealing with some personal issues. I should be entirely free now.

Try this out: https://ianburgwin.net/themethings.zip (wouldn't upload here because it was "too big"). If you have any other questions, please tell me.

2CD_BodyCache_rd.bin is all the theme together actually !
when you look through Hexadecimal.
I was able to get them separed btw.
they are all 150 000 long :)
Also Yata open them fine (sorry I was curious xD)

Interesting. It was able to export just fine without me needing to forcefully shut off my system.

Also keep in mind that any theme that isn't DLC (aka colors ones) will Always be null in the export that why you have only 5 valid theme in it (btw there are nice theme in it :))

Cause once i tried to get a dump of the original Black theme but seem we can't ^^
so maybe that cause the trouble in your dump^^

Well that's still valuable information, isn't it? Knowing how a basic theme is stored in shuffle themes.

What is this stuff about shuffling themes? Like, each time you start up, there's a different theme? Cause that would be so cool.

"Change Theme" already has a shuffle option; each time you open the 3DS from sleep mode, a different theme appears. It couldn't be used with custom themes though, but it should be soon.
