You can use the same folder, but you need to use clean files each time. Randomizing more than once can mess up the files.Sorry if this has been answered already but is it ok to run the randomizer more than once on the same folder? For example, if i were to run it maybe 3 times with the first time choice being 'conquest', the 2nd being 'birthright', then the final one being 'all paths' will it mess up the files somewhat?

How are you running the hack? If you are doing the CFW method, you should be using Decrypt9/GodMode9 to obtain the game in CIA form and extracting the contents of the CIA using something like Asia81's PackHack/HackingToolkit3DS. That method hasn't failed me and it's a lot quicker than braindump taking 20 years.Damn, guess I gotta wait for braindump to take 4321 hours again ;c Oh well, I hope it works this time.

Yep, it's the only method I use now. You're welcome!Seriously? I already use the Toolkit for extracting the .cxi, so this is crazy good news. I'm gonna do that now. Thanks!
What I do is the following:Yo, I'm back again, and I'm in a fairly unique situation. After failing to randomize Fates last time after trying for about 10 hours, and giving up, I decided to give it another go tonight.
Back before Fates was released, I bought a Japanese 3DS and a copy of Fates: Special Edition despite knowing nothing of the language. I got through it easily using only the info up on Serenes Forest.
I've accidentally updated my English 3DS, and now it's at version 11.5. So, I decided it'd just be easier to use my Japanese 3DS to access homebrew and randomize my English version of Conquest that way.
I went through Plailect's guide and installed CFW on my japanese 3DS; including the most recent version of Luma. Unfortunately; I am unable to use Braindump to obtain the Romfs now.
When I try, I get a message in Homebrew saying "Rosalina" on the header, and it follows with, you guessed it, Japanese text. That I can't read.
Is there anyway I can obtain the Romfs without Braindump; or better yet a way I can use Braindump on my Jp3ds with Luma 8.0?
I tried using GodMode9 to obtain the romfs, but it gives me an error every time I try to copy them to the out folder.
I'm not well-versed in homebrew or rom-hacking by any means - I have little to no experience. So a step-by-step would be helpful.
Thank you so, so, so much. It's working now!What I do is the following:
1. Obtain the game in .cia format. Note: it needs to be decrypted, can be decrypted using GodMode9.
2. Use Asia81's PackHack/HackingToolkit3DS (linked here, if you have Windows) and the CE option to extract the contents of the decrypted .cia
3. The romfs files are located in the DecryptedRomFS (or something related to that) folder.
This link can help with GodMode9 usage: https://3ds.guide/godmode9-usage (sections "Dumping a Game Cart"/"Dumping a Title" and "Encrypting / Decrypting a .CIA file", specifically)
Braindump gives incomplete dumps, don't bother with it. I personally use Decrypt9 for all of my dumping/encrypting/whatever, but GodMode9 works just as well.
Which chapter files did you delete? There are multiple labels associated with chapter 6.
Every time I get to chapter 6, right before I choose a path, the game crashes and this error pops up.
I've tried going down on difficulty. (From classic lunatic, to classic hard, to classic normal and then casual normal) but to no avail.
I've also deleted the files that have to do with chapter 6 off my SD card, as suggested on the Serene's Forest post. Still no dice. Any ideas?
EDIT: I also completely re-did the randomization but it still crashes at the same point.
From the Gamedata/Dispos folder, I deleted A006.bin, and A006E.binWhich chapter files did you delete? There are multiple labels associated with chapter 6.
I can say with confidence that I haven't run into any issues with chapter 6 while testing the rewrite, so the issue will be fixed whenever it releases.
Maybe try using Luma's layeredfs feature instead of NTR? Place your randomized romfs files/folders in SD:/luma/titles/TITLEID/romfs, replacing TITLEID with your game's title ID (find this in FBI's Titles option) and enable "Enable game patching" in your Luma settings.From the Gamedata/Dispos folder, I deleted A006.bin, and A006E.bin
From the Scripts folder, I deleted A006.cmb and A006_Terrain.cmb
From the Scripts/bev folder, I deleted A006_ED_マイキャッスル.cmb, A006_OP2A.cmb, A006_OP2A_00.cmb, and A006_OP2A_05.cmb
I've randomized a physical copy of ENG Conquest that I'm playing from a JPN 3DS. I'm using NTR CFW 3.6.
To bypass this, I played through chapter 6 without using NTR, beat it, reboot my 3DS after saving and then booted up NTR. The problem with this is that Felicia will no longer be randomized if I do it.
I also tried deleting C006.bin, C006E.bin, P006.bin, X006.bin, X006E.bin from Gamedata/Dispos, and that fixed the problem however the weapons were no longer randomized, making the chapter impossible.
On top of this Charlotte (who replaced Felicia) turned into the randomized Felicia from the output file. It was strange, but it did allow me into chapter 6.
It worked just the same; same error.Maybe try using Luma's layeredfs feature instead of NTR?

Try redumping and extractingg your files and then randomizing them again. Maybe the chapter 6 files got corrupted somehow. What version of the game are you using?It worked just the same; same error.
