Homebrew [WIP] PHBank - Pokémon Homebrew Bank

[adrifcastr]

Does anyone know what the error codes are? I get one when I boot up that says:
Problem happened: 0x20
PHBank version: 020001b0
Can't start the viewer.
Press any key to exit

use PKSM instead

Ah. Is the project more or less dead?

Ah. Is the project more or less dead?

Yeah I think so. Even though it was nice to have "just" a bank without any other functions.

Yeah I was looking for an elegant yet simple solution to the PB. Ok, I'll look into PKSM. Thanks.

Pokémon Homebrew Bank​

PHBank is a homebrew which allows to manage a local bank for XY and ORAS Pokémon games, just like the Pokébank, but as a free offline service.
This homebrew is not intended to cheat (not even cloning). It's just a storage solution.

The source code is available under the GPLv3 license on github, and the resources are available on github too.

What this Homebrew can do:

• Work on o3ds and n3ds!
• Navigate through the PC boxes of a XY/ORAS save and the Bank boxes.
• Display a more specific resume per Pokémon (like IVs/EVs).
• Select one Pokémon (with stylus or buttons) and move it to another slot/box.
• Select some Pokémon (with buttons) and move them to another box.
• Swap an entire box content to another one (pc <-> bank).
• Autocomplete the Pokédex when importing Pokémon to a gamesave.
• Prompt a dialog to save/exit/backup during the homebrew execution.
• Export/Import the savedata directly to/from the game, without the need of external tools (/main).
• Load/Save the bankdata to/from the bank, located in the SD card (/pk/bank/bank).

How to install it:

• Just extract the archive at (to?) the root of your SD card.
• It must contains:
  • The PHBank files /3ds/PHBank/[PHBankFiles].
  • The cia installer in /cia/PHBank.cia
  • The data files /pk/[DataFiles].

How to import from <= [v1.1.4-beta-a]:

• Install PHBank normally, see above.
• Copy the bank file from /pkbank/bank to /pk/bank/bank.
• You can delete the /pkbank/ folder.

Controls:

Everywhere​

• DPad/CPad: Move the cursor inbox, change box, change pc/bank.
• L/R: Change the current box.
• LZ/RZ: Switch from PC to Bank and vice versa (can be done with Pad and/or stylus too).
• Touchscreen:
  • Move the cursor inbox.
  • Change the current box.
  • Switch PC/Bank.
  • Drag & Drop Pokémon.
  • Change the selection mode.
• Start: Open the savexit menu, for exiting or backing up.
• Select: Switch the selection mode (Single -> Quick -> Multiple).

In Single selection mode (Red):​

• A: Select Pokémon / Move Pokémon if one is already selected.
• B: Cancel selection.

In Quick selection mdoe (Blue):​

• A: Select Pokémon / Move Pokémon if one is already selected.
• B: Cancel selection.
• Y: Swap the current PC box content with the current Bank box content.

In Multiple selection mdoe (Blue):​

• Y: Activate the box selector (TODO: transform it as a button on screen).

Todo List:

• Wonder box
• Display more specific information per Pokémon (Tabs for contest/met/etc).
• Enhance more the GUI.
• When moving Pokémon with the DPad/A, switch the held Pokémon.

Nota Bene:

• I only tested this homebrew with Pokémon Alpha Sapphire on a cartridge on a n3ds (9.3+).
• Not cheat, no kidding.

Thanks to @suloku for all his work on the project.
Thanks to @Kaphotics & @Asia81 (and PKHex's contributors) for the save functions (offset, algorithms) and the data (personal, text).
Thanks to @Slashcash & @Stracker (and PCHex/PCHex++'s contributors) for their help.
Thanks to @Xenosaiga and @ihaveamac for being the cia build.
Thanks to @xerpi (and SF2D/SFTD/SFIL's contributores) for the graphic library.
Thanks to @profi200 and other people on #3dsdev who helped me.
Thanks to @smealum and @yellows8 for the exploits.

Merci !

is there gonna be a way to transfer gen 6 pokemon to sun/moon?

 

[Giodude]

Use pksm

 

[EventAssistant]

I have to say it's a bit sad recommending to use another software rather than the one suggested in the OP. Hopefully @Gocario, even if he doesn't want to continue his work anymore, can fix the code in the github repo to be compilable, at least. Maybe someone will eventually add more compatibility in a near future to this software, too.

You have to have a CFW installed and a way to install .cia packages in order to use this.

Are you having problems extracting the compressed Roshal Archive file it comes in?

 

[Majickhat55]

No you don't. There is a .3dsx HomeBrew build supplied as well.

Download the program with the link in the OP. Copy both the "3DS" folder and the "pk" folder to the root of your SD card. Let it replace any files asked.
Load Homebrew and find the program, make sure you're connected to the internet, then load it.

 

[doctor221b]

how do you get to the .3dsx file and what is the OP?, also how do you get the pk folder? thank you for replying
