Okay, good news! I've successfully been able to unpack, edit, and repack the text files!

Tool here:
https://github.com/vgmoose/GARC-Unpack/releases/

And here's a 2006-esque ROM hack demonstrating it:

To fix the ROM packing, I had to subtract 4 from the offset outside of the modulus. (see source) I know it works on text, not sure about other files.

Sorry if my DUMMY MESSAGES annoys people. It's just because I have a bad habit to delete messages. I cannot fall into asleep without doing this. The subtraction of 4 works for the font files as well. I think the text case is easy somehow, but for the font file, the BTAF and OTAF no longer have the same file number. It's so annoying... I want to replace the font, but it sort of failed. Anyway, I've got the new names from this one, and I'll spend time working on porting these to my XY and ORAS.

i click on import button then i select the changed textures but the program won't import my modified textures

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

For this one, I think only the old Ohana3DS handles the job.

Yep, to patch the rom, I used @Asia81's HackingToolkit3ds.exe to get the 3ds builder to make a .3ds file, then used the Simple CIA tool to make it into a CIA. Is there a faster way to do this?

My - 4 was put in a slightly different place: https://github.com/vgmoose/GARC-Unpack/blob/master/Pack/Form1.cs#L252

I noticed that your change did make the output slightly off, even on the text files, but are you saying it's still not repacked correctly with these new changes?

Yes
Extract cia
do what you want in it
rebuild cia

why even use 3ds builder and have a .3ds ?

I haven't looked at it carefully. I'll try this one later as I'm busy porting the new translations to my old games. Thanks for your effort!

I know... One reason is that some Chinese guys started to use my tool to unpack the game. And it caused some problem in our forum. That's why I kinda regret posting my solution here.

Oh jeez, I think I have an old version!

Here's mine:

So it looks like that's CE and CR to patch and extract in the new one?

Yes, I think this should work, let me know which files it has any issues with when repacking and I can try to modify it some more.

Sorry to hear about the situation with the deleted messages

goteniai · Oct 21, 2016

Man, you are using the old version. Go and download one xD.

To unpack, I have the "sm.cia" file (decrypted) and then use the "cia" option in my HackingTookit3ds.exe (looks like CE in the new one) to extract the files. When it asks "Enter the name of your decrypted CIA file (Without .cia):" I enter just "sm".

Oops.

I will update... Thank you @Asia81!

I suppose your subtraction by 4 is this line?

offset += (uint)(((4 - fi.Length % 4) + fi.Length) - 4);

If so, I've changed this part already. Maybe you didn't have my latest version. But I'm going try your compiled version=.=

How did you run the patched rom?

Is BCLIM replacement possible? Where would i find the battle interface textures?

It is possible. Just use Ohana3ds developed by @Asia81. For your seconde question, I haven't looked at other files yet.

Asia81 · Oct 21, 2016

Ohana is not by me.
The old is by @Reisyukaku and @gdkchan

Also to run the rom, you pack the RomFS With RomFS Builder then use 3DS Builder to pack the RomFS, ExeFS, and ExHeader. Then load onto Flashcart or convert to CIA and install.

Use Hacktoolkit3DS

I don't even know it.

well I tried to replace some of the files that @Capitán Retraso named for us, but all I got was a error in citra when I tried to load the rebuild :v

I wounder if she is incomplete? or if there a way to make game choose her instead of the boy?
