There's a a StreetPass feature where we can trade screenshots with other players online. I'm kind of curious, if in the screenshot our character is modded (has restored clothes), can other players who doesn't have the mod view it? Or is the character displayed normally on their 3DS? (because they don't have the mod)

So when screenshot is traded in streetpass, is it the real images, or just some data used to generate the models in game?

Screenshots on streetpass are images, so yeah, modded or unmodded, they will see exactly what you see in those screens

The screenshots are JPGs, as in real screenshots, not just some real-time generated data. So yes, people will see the modded models in your screenshots.

Ah ah ah ah! :P
OK, @V0ltr0n , i can explain you how to unpack / repack a game, and replace files.
For the mod and code part, you will have to find somebody else. (it depends of the game)
Packing/unpacking is the least of my worries. It would be simple enough. Actually doing something with the files? Way beyond my abilities.

Jessica's and Red's outfits got changed but since you mentioned that the super high tension models were also corrected i was missing them.
Hero 100 tension has still his bandana on. No glorious ssj mode.
Or did i misunderstand something.

Jessica and Red have proper High Tension (with purple tint), not sure what do you mean by that.
As for the SSJ hair, fi you read the thread you'd know that is impossible.
With high tension models being fixed we meant that the high tension variants are now also properly uncensored, in older version only the non-HT stuff was uncensored.

By the way can we have this topic's name changed from WIP to Finished considering it's been finalized for way over a month now?

Is "B1" the latest and final version of the pack?

Can't speak for Canzah but I've no plans to work on anything further, I'm happy with the current results and knowing this has been packed into various CIAs out there and I've yet to see any complaints I'm happy to leave well alone, unless a some what serious issue pops up I doubt I'll touch the files again.

Hell, I still haven't even played this game O.o be it PS2 or 3DS, started the project for fun but time to get back to other projects.

Would this work with Luma3DS LayeredFS? Also any plans for US version release or would that require more than just changing the title ID?

I've no clue, I don't see why it wouldn't work with Luma LayeredFS, haven't tested it and the reason there is no US Version is the code.bin is required to make the NTR LayeredFS and decrypting a US version of the game to get that seemed like a hassle I didn't need at the time with all the effort going into reworking the textures and such.

There is OnionFS that should do the trick for the US version.
