Homebrew How to get custom BGM on your E-shop.

[Februarysn0w]

Hello.
Few days a go I found a thread about Custom BGM on E-shop. some people interested in this method.
So I decided to make this very very simple tutorial.

-What you need is list-
1. format factory (I recommended)
2. 3DS or New 3DS
3. Homebrew launcher
4. Extdata damp
5. music file whatever you like.

6.sample files (xml updated at 9/28/2015)

-How to make the bgm-

Connecting to eshop and download newest bgm and xml before change the BGM.

1. Convert your music file to aac format. (File size must be smaller than 8MB)

2. rename the file to "boss_bgm1"

3. Place the file to extdata_dump folder. add these lines on your config.txt.

; replace e-shop bgm
RESTORE "boss_bgm1" "00000xxx:/boss_bgm1"

; replace e-shop xml
RESTORE "boss_xml1" "00000xxx:/boss_xml1"

"XXX" < Replace the XXX with the numbers below depending on your 3DS' region.
209 = JPN 3DS
219 = USA 3DS
229 = EUR 3DS

4. Now edit these lines on "boss_xml1". also Place the file to extdata_dump folder.
<dataSize>4147269</dataSize> //get file data size 7 digits from file property.

<loopStartFrame>0</loopStartFrame> //set "0" song repeat from the start. I'm tested and works.

<loopEndFrame>9000000</loopEndFrame> // I cant calculate this. How? IF you know much about this Please comment and let us know.

5. Last restore the files and run e-shop!!!

That it!! Hope you enjoy!

It doesn't load my music... it only loads the original beta eshop theme... I did everything right... I don't know what I did wrong...

nevermind.... read the instructions... very descriptive indeed... :3

Pretty sure the number inside is what sample to loop at, could be wrong though.

I read the instructions but I still have the default beta eshop music...

@DarkRiolu264 Are you restoring it to the correct spot? The one in the OP is for JP 3DSs.

 

[Megalegacy98]

do i put the aac in the folder or rename it to a file like the dumped one?

yes. put it on the folder, rename the files same as dumped one.

 

[Megalegacy98]

Got an error while trying to put it the aac in...

-----Failed to write /boss_bgm1 (1616025): 0xe0e046c1-----
Copying failed!

I get a success with boss_xml1 though.

I would like to point out that your tutorial is incorrect. It won't work if its "RESTORE "boss_bgm1" "00000209:/boss_bgm1" it should be "RESTORE "boss_bgm1.aac" "00000209:/boss_bgm1" if you want it to work, it won't recognize the file if you forget the file extension on the config.

thats what i did, got an error.

Are you installing to the right folder? 00000209 is for Japenese 3DS. Make sure the config file has the file extension in the proper place

"RESTORE "boss_bgm1(.aac)" "00000XXX:/boss_bgm1" without the parentheses.

"XXX" < Replace the XXX with the numbers below depending on your 3DS' region.
209 = JPN 3DS
219 = USA 3DS
229 = EUR 3DS

I hope this helps you.

I am aware of that, that's what I did. bossxml works when i import, but not bossbgm

Then can you give me some screenshots showing what your doing? That would be really helpful.
