Hello,

I want to play this rom hack and i have no clue on how to do it, although there are instructions. They just do not seem to work for me. So i am asking here if i am doing something wrong:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/wip-pokemon-rising-sun-and-waning-moon.451600/

First Method:

THINGS YOU NEED:
- Latest nightly build of luma https://astronautlevel2.github.io/Luma3DS/
- The hack's GARC files (the stuff that actually overwrites the original assets) Get it from the Google Drive link
- The code.ips file which is in the patch.zip in the Google Drive.

Running extended code with luma
- Download the luma nightly release and update ur luma (just overwrite ur old armloaderhax.bin with the new one in the download)
- Create folders called SD:\\luma\titles\0004000000175E00\ (0004000000164800 for Pokemon Sun users)
- paste code.ips
- create folder called SD:\\SaltySD\sunmoon\ and place the "a" folder from the GARCS.zip in there.

-> I have Luma3ds, downloaded the "Latest nightly build of Luma" from this link above, replaced my arm9thing.bin with the new one. Then i created all the folders on my SD card, placed the "a" folder on the right place on the SD card, enabled "Custom Game Path" or something like that in Luma Menu and when i try to load my installed .cia version of the game (Pokemon Moon) it just does not load, it gets stuck on the Nintendo 3ds logo loading screen (does not crash, just does not go any further!)

So there is that.
Up to the second instructions:

  1. First off you're gonna need a dumped copy of Pokemon Sun/Moon. You really should have done that by now btw.
  2. Download Extract Repack, Patch.zip and the GARC Files from my google drive. (Link at the top of the page.)
  3. Extract your dump's files.
  4. Download Lunar IPS Patcher (Google it)
  5. You should have a folder in Extract Repack tilted exefsdir, inside of it a .code.bin (if you don't have the exefsdir folder, you need to extract your Pokemon Sun and Moon dump!)
  6. Run Lunar IPS. Select apply patch to file. Select the code.ips patch, and then make sure you can select any file and select your .code.bin.
  7. Once its done patching, rename your .code.bin to (last 8 digits of title ID).code Make sure it becomes a .code file. The title ID should be the folder your game was dumped in.
  8. Move 00175e00.code (Different name for Sun) to SD:\Hans
  9. Create a folder on your SD card like so: SD:\\SaltySD\sunmoon\ and place the "a" and "Data" folder from the GARC files there.
  10. Launch Pokemon Sun/Moon from Hans and select custom code path

I have extracted my decrypted .3ds, patched the code.bin and renamed it to "00175e00.code", moved it to my SD:/Hans folder, created a folder on my sd card like instructed (SaltySD/.....) and placed both the "a" and "Data" folders in there. Then i put my SD card back in my 3ds and i started homebrew, clicked on "HANS" and there was "Pokemon Moon" but i could not select a "custom code path"
If i load it, then the screen stays yellow and nothing happen =/

Can anyone help me?

THanks
