I wonder, can I use this or do you know how do make a custom update for smash bros?

Kinda want to have custom music on some main stages that got 'updated' songs, so they replace my custom ones.

@Asia81, i have rebuild the update 1.4 of pokemon omega ruby with the pokemon rutile ruby patch, i installed it and worked but FBI show me the version 0x1860 while the original is 0x1c70. In the home menu the icon of OR show me the update notification... In the game the patch work fine... Can you help me?

Edit: i've tried the same patch with AS and the version in FBI is correct... So there is a problem in the cia rebuild of OR...

Edit2: i've tried to decompile and rebuild the ORIGINAL OR patch without any modification and the version is different from the original... so is 100% a problem of the OR cia rebuild

Is it possible to make a .cia for 2.0 star sapphire 679 build? I've found a 2.0 star sapphire legit .cia but i tried making it 679 and i get an error upon starting (just the one that tells you to hold power to restart)

I recently updated the packhack to the latest version (5.2) and it looks like there isnt a patch builder option (the ppb one)

 

[Capitán Retraso]

I managed to finde the 5.0 version to get the patch builder working but it shows me this error

The contents in my folder are these ones:

Is the error related to the romfs size? I changed some models, textures and a lot of audio

I used to have a version of HackingToolkit3DS that used to have ppb option, related to pokemon patch builder, but this new version doesn't have it anymore and i'm unable to finish my custom patch for pokemon oras. Is it possible to add that option in a new version of the toolkit or getting us an older version of this?

@Capitán Retraso, where did you get version 5.0 of the toolkit? I'd like to try it for myself, see if I can make it work...

I got it from Asia81's pastebin page before it got replaced with 5.2

I didn't update the tutorial yet, but extract your cia with CIAE, modify what you want inside, target the code.bin as said on the tuto, once done repack the cia with CIAR

Thanks for the replies guys. @Asia81 I already did that to try if it works or not. It indeed works, all changes are applied in game (this case Alpha Sapphire) but whenever i start the game, it tells me to update and it doesn't show version 1.4 in the menu. Didn't try to connect online yet but I'm assuming it won't work since it tells me to update at the beginning. I don't think I did anything wrong though...

For Omega Ruby is the same

 

[Asia81]

With the new way to rebuild an update, the Pop-Up "Update Avalaible" on the Home Menu is normal (well, even if I don't know why...)
Just ignore it, and try to connect online, you'll see

 

[BluPhoenix]

You we're right. Tested and it worked. Thank you very much!

@Asia81 Seeing as Luma now patches the RO I have been trying various methods of also including .cro's in the custom update and so far I have tried all of these:
1) Just the edited .cro (DllBattle.cro which i assume to be the Type effectiveness cro)
2) All the .cro's + static.crs
3) All the cro's without static.crs

All of these end up crashing and I'm currently still talking to Tuxsh about it possibly being a Luma thing but it looking more than likely to be a rom thing.

Any chance you perhaps can look into this? I'm not sure if you're the original creator of the Pokemon Patch Builder but you're definitely the closest to the tool I would know.
