    How do you modify Rune Factory 4 (3DS) images?

    So I wanted to try my hand at a very minor RF4 mod (nothing special, just a few images) and found a bit of a brick wall. While the .bctex format seems to be rather well known for the most part and about as close to a "standard" as you get in custom console SDKs or whatever, it's surprisingly...

    Trying to figure out strange .opus files in Made in Abyss

    So I recently got the Made in Abyss game for the Switch. There is a lot about the game that I don't like and a lot I do, but the absolute worst of the do not likes has been solved thanks to some intrepid modders. Of course they're focused on the PC version and I'd like to bring over what I can...

    Is there an easier way to extract games (NSPs in particular)?

    So I've been using hactool forever. However, it seems to not have been updated in ages and I'm having more and more troubles with it (and weirdness like it saying prod.keys does not exist when it does and it then proceeds to complain about the lines in prod.keys it doesn't like that supposedly...

    Is there *any* tool to unswizzle textures (from Switch games)?

    I had thought to do some processing on the textures in a game recently, but ran into a really annoying problem right from the start. While I could extract the textures easily enough, they were swizzled for the Switch (or specifically for Tegra of course.) Interestingly enough it seems to be...

    Hardware Audio clipping (maybe boosted?) over HDMI

    So I've had something quite odd going on with my original Switch for quite some time now. At some point it started having audio clipping when played through the HDMI. It also seems a bit loud, so I think for some reason audio is being boosted through HDMI. It really is annoying and can ruin...

    Hacking Package2 is too big or too small - can I save this emuMMC?

    Ok, so for some reason Windows sees the emuMMC partition on my memory card as a partition it can actually access (and the really weird thing is that normally with USB drives it only accepts one partition but the emuMMC partition is after the data partition.) Unfortunately, when I was trying to...

    ROM Hack Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition appears to be completely moddable

    EDIT: The 1.0.1 update (v65536) seems to have removed support for external files. It may be possible to use the language folders instead, but I'm not sure yet and don't have time to experiment right now. For now I have to recommend that if anyone wants external modules they should not update...

    Gaming Spirit Hunter NG near unplayable -- sluggish and BGM multiplying

    So I'm having a really strange issue with Spirit Hunder NG. Everything is extremely sluggish like the CPU is really struggling to keep up even in docked mode. I have text set to the highest speed but it still appears in little bursts, hesitating with each little bit. (Eg a bit might appear...

    ROM Hack UnityFS editing (such as Doom)

    So I've been trying my hand at really simple modding on a lot of things lately and one thing that has really been a problem for me for a long time are those UnityFS files -- eg "assets." For example, in Doom I thought it would be nice if I could edit the soundtrack. (It's not a popular thing...

    ROM Hack Anyone know enough to make it possible to extract/repack Dragon's Dogma ARCs?

    So Dragon's Dogma was just released on the Switch. Overall it seems to have come out surprisingly well what I've tried of it so far. One great thing about the PC version is that there are a bunch of mods ranging from minor stuff like less blinding lighting from magic effects to relatively...

    ROM Hack Request: Tangledeep save editor

    So this game looks like it would actually be super easy to edit saves. It seems to be saving them as mostly plaintext XML files. Other than the beginning and the end most of it is just plain text, but the beginning has a few characters (I have no clue what they are, but it's too little to be...

    ROM Hack Has anyone looked at modding Commander Keen?

    So I was a bit shocked to see Commander Keen make it to the Switch. Then baffled that of all the possible choices they chose Keen Dreams. Naturally I'm wondering: might it not be realistic to possibly replace the game files with those of another game. Specifically CK4 is supposed to be the...

    ROM Hack Might it be theoretically possible to change ROMs in SEGA Mega Drive Classics?

    So the recent SEGA Mega Drive Classics release sets up kind of a rather unique emulator setup with a virtual TV, cartridges, crickets chirping outside at night, etc etc. Overall it's actually kind of a really nice emulation setup that is, in its own way, quite enjoyable. It has most of the...

    Hardware New 2DS XL speaker modding

    So no doubt anyone who has used a New 2DS XL will note the one really bad thing about it is the speaker placement. They moved them to the bottom segment of the system -- which is fine on its own (better weight distribution IMO) but instead of having them at, say, the top, they put them all the...

    Hardware Some sort of side grips (tablet mode) maybe?

    One thing I've been wondering is if there might be some reasonable way to rig up something really simple to at as grips for the sides when using the Switch in tablet mode (namely Voez, but surely more games will benefit from this in the future.) It can be kind of uncomfortable to hold the...

    Hardware How difficult is building a dock?

    So I'm not a fan of the dock. I'm not really having any of the problems many people are having like scratching (well, I took steps to ensure it would never happen) but I really hate dealing with that dock. The solution seems fairly obvious: open it up and take out the components. What I'd...

    Hacking Bit of an odd question, but, are we getting full volume?

    One thing I've been wondering about with the 3DS lately is the output. Not just through its built in speakers and plugged in headphones, but even the line output is shockingly quiet. Connected to a very capable amplifier it is exponentially less than every single other line device I have ever...

    Hacking Identifying firmware of a bundle N3DS that isn't TOO expensive...

    Old thread. It should be deleted at this point. That said, we seriously need some sort of list of firmwares one is likely to receive with various bundle (and non-bundle) options.

    Homebrew Region Changing without 4.x sysNAND?

    So I just got a Japanese N3DS. I kind of lucked out and it shipped on sysNAND version 9.1, so no need to downgrade (wow... Particularly lucky since the N3DS is the one that has the far larger chance of soft-bricks. I wasn't relishing the thought of going through all that.) This means I also...

    Homebrew How might I manually restore downgraded mset? (9.2 2DS US)

    Well, it turns out that I made my sysNAND backup using a version of rxTools that I later found out was making unreliable NAND backups that could potentially even cause bricks. As I do not have a hardmod and don't feel very confident about the pinouts shown in the only thread I've found so far...
