Thanks for the quick answer! I thought I would definitely need to use CN or OOT with a linker to get through, but if with those two tuts it does not work I still have another entry point (new3ds seems to be pretty restrictive on that point compared to o3ds). I assume this eliminates the need for a linker altogether unless those comes with advantages I am not aware of (such as access to region-locked games, maybe? As I said I am still clueless about what works and what does not), correct me if I'm wrong. In any case I'll try these guides as soon as possible.

Hi all. Here's my situation.
I'm running a New 3DS on firmware 10.3.0.28 U. I've managed to get homebrew working via Ninjhax2.5. I have an imported version of MHX coming in the mail (should be in on Wednesday). In the meantime, I've acquired a .3ds file of MHX online, and used 3DS explorer to extract a romfs.bin file from the .3ds file. However, when I run the patch.bat from the HANS patcher that was posted here, the patcher keeps crashing. Is the romfs file bad probably? Do I need to alter it in any way first?

I'm going to have to do this via the 3ds rom method as Decrypt9WIP wont load up. Should be easier with RXTools
Can you teach us how to make a patched .3ds/.3dz? I have a o3DS on 4.5 ofw 10.0 cfw and I can run the game fine, but my SD card is too small to install a .cia. I would also not like to have to re-download the game since my internet is trash.

it doesn't work. Some games use the extra RAM put aside for the OS on o3DS (and its only 3 at this point and they are Smash 4, MH4U and now MHX). This leads to stuff like Miiverse, the browser and other stuff not working when the game is suspended or when you close the game itself it reboots the console. NTR CFW runs in the OS background, so thats why it doesnt work with this game or the other two

Would anyone be interested in giving me a brief rundown on how a translation patch is made? I'd like to have a go at translating a few other things for my own convenience but I'm not sure where to start.

Nope.

And Hans doesn't work with MHX, so wouldn't matter if you had homebrew access anyway.

For .3ds files.

1. Obtain a clean rom
2. Transfer the rom to the root of your SD
3. Load up RXTools > Decryption > Decrypt CTR Titles
4. Wait till it's done
5. Once done transfer this to your PC somewhere.
6. Use the PackHack for 3DS RomHacking from: http://pastebin.com/A1s8cmsD by @Asia81
7. Put the .3ds rom you decrypted in the same folder that "Hacking Toolkit is in"
8. Run hackingtoolkit.exe then enter (Without quotations)"D".
9. Enter your .3ds files name without the .3ds extension. (So if your 3ds rom name is "monhuntx.3ds" then just enter monhuntx)
10. Let it run till the first menu screen comes up.
11. You should have, 3 "Decrypted.bin" Files and two folders called "exe" and "romfs"
12. Grab the NTR plugin download off the first page and extract it.
13. Go to NTR > mhx there will be an "arc" folder. Just grab this folder and extract it to somewhere you can easily remember.
14. Go back to the folder where you extracted the decrypted rom.
15. Go into "romfs" foler and you'll also see an "arc" folder. Merge these two folders and overwrite all.
16. Get "RomFS Builder" And then select the romfs folder you just edited. (So back up one where you see the "arc" folder"), let it run and then it will ask to save the romfs.bin. (Name this editedromfs.bin to avoid confusion)
17. Get 3DS Builder and run it. Check the "Use Pre-Built" boxes, both of them
18. Now click "open romfs" and select the romfs you made with the builder. Then select "open Exefs" and select the DecryptedExeFS.bin in the same folder and then click "open Exheader" and select the DecryptedExHeader.bin in the same folder
19. Chose your save location and name the file of your choosing and add .3ds at the end. Eg. "MHX.3ds"
20. Click go and enjoy your patched rom.

Thats the way I ended up doing it.

Reporting a wrong translation: under "Change Armor Pigment", it's written "Red" on red, but also on green.
Also, I saw somewhere a Achievment (with a missing "e") but I'm not sure if that was made on purpose to fit the button's size or if it's a mistake. And I have no idea where it is.

Even with this, it's really cool already. Much more comfortable than playing all in japanese ^^

I'm so glad I didn't have to do most of that. @kamesenin888 hooked me up with a 4 step tutorial that included the clean romfs folder, RomFs Builder.exe, 3ds Builder.exe, DecryptedExeFS.bin, and DecryptedExHeader.bin. All I had to do was download the arc folder from the NTR plugin link. I built a patched .3DS and it works perfectly.

Does the DecryptedExeFS.bin and DecryptedExHeader.bin contain copywrighted material? Can we link them? Is there an easier way to get the romfs folder if you already have the rom? I'm trying to avoid using the SD card at all because mine is only 4GB and it can't fit anything, let alone install a cia. Can we streamline the .3DS method for people who either hate installing .cia or have small SD cards?
