It would be ABSOLUTELY AWESOME if this would get a patches plugin system thing. I'll try to explain:
  • People could just make a text file with title_id, savefile path, offsets, edits and what those edits do.
  • The app scans a specific folder for those plugins and adds shortcuts to them to the start menu.
  • The app then dumps the save file of the title_id, then displays a menu where you can apply all edits the plugin provides.
  • Et voilà, save editor making made easy as heck, as well as using them. :)
Hope you get the idea. :)

Hello @AidanLumina,

I think I see what you mean, it's like patching a file in Unix with the patch command using a diff file. That's a good idea ! But what if the value you an to modify isn't at the same offset in two different save files ? I mean if on one save file the offset to be modified is 0x0011FF where on the other one it's 0x001201, if this case is possible, it would be harder to make a patch file.

You get the idea :D

But yes, you're right. This would only make sense with files that have their information on fixed spots. For all other titles, using NTR is probably a faster and easier way to cheat. :)

Hi guys,

I have uploaded a new version : v0.25. You can find the changelog on the first page. I haven't integrated pluggins or this kind of options yet, I have only made the editor more stable and faster.
I have generated a CIA with makerom command, however the file's size is 42MB (~5MB once compressed, I haven't included it in the attached zip file). Is it normal ? I can't test as I don't have a CFW/EmuNAND, I only have the Homebrew Launcher.

(Is there a way to edit the title of the post ?:P)

Oh dear, no one replied yet...
I can't test it, sorry, but the filesize is totally weird. :/

It's the same for many interesting homebrew projects. They fall down to the second page after a couple of hours. This subforum has certainly not been cleaned up.

On topic: Nice update. I'm looking forward to plugin/presets! :)

It's okay, it motivates me installing a CFW:P

wow.. I think it could be handy making minor tweaks on fan translations with combination with layerfs of ntr and not having to plug in back the sd card to the pc and test again

great job! been dreaming of a portable hexeditor for quite some time now since I don't always have the previlage to use the PC for an hexeditor

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
