ROM Hack [Help] Creating LayeredFS Plugin for NTR CFW

[NyaakoXD]

Yeah, I looked at the manual and had no clue on what to do in the beginning.

1. Copy decrypted exefs.bin to workdir.
2. Run build_layeredfs.bat, when it prompts 'Enter the folder of the layeredFS file:', enter the path that the translation file will be placed on SD card, ie. 'layered'. (using a game-unique name is recommend)
3. Copy to workdir\ layeredfs.plg to SDCard, the path is plugin\GAMEID\layeredfs.plg .
4. Prepare translation data. Copy the files which are different from original version to the folder you entered in Step 2 on SD card. (Copying unchanged files is not essential.)
5. The screen will flashes green when the genuine card runs, the layeredfs plugin will be loaded and start redirecting file accesses.

So...how do I make a decrypted exefs.bin?

Dycrypt the game and use ctrtool to dump the exefs.

What do I use to decrypt the rom? Do I use rxTools or what?

That should work, just dump it with GW and run rxTools CTR Decryptor.

So...where do I get CTRTool? More like I get an error with it. It's saying "The program can't start because MSVCR110D.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

so download the dll...

I've tried reinstalling Visual C++ plenty of times already. Still says it's missing the dll...

Find the max 3ds to cia thing, there is one in there that works. (No problem on Linux. :-P)

Actually, CTRTool came with the layeredfs tools. The problem is trying to run it since it says that I'm missing a certain .dll.

Use the one from max, it does not need the dll.

Edit:
I wonder how bad a JS version would be, it is a simple program...

So how I would use the one from Max? I mean, I've downloaded it and tried to run it... Nothing.

Use command prompt.

 

[NyaakoXD]

Use command prompt.

Oh wait, was I suppose to run the .bat file? If so, I already did it. Now what?

Copy ctrtool where you decrypted rom is. Press the windows key and r, type in cmd and hit enter. Then type cd and enter the path of the rom and press enter. Then type ctrtool and hit enter, it should print usage instructions.

Look up how to use command prompt, it is a very powerfull tool.

I'm sure it's a powerful tool and I tried to look it up on how to use, they weren't very useful...

Yeup still no idea how. I have a decrypted .3DS file and still don't know how to use command prompt. I really, really suck at these things.

I don't understand. I have a decrypted romfs and exefs, but the romfs is the one I edited. Can I do this with a decrypted romfs?
