I tried again to condense Procyon's instructions with any clarifications.

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR RUTILE RUBY/STAR SAPPHIRE (they may work for others if you change the variables as needed)
DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS. IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO IT THAT DOES NOT MEAN SKIP IT. YOU HAVE TO DO EVERY SINGLE PART FOR THIS TO WORK.

1. Install Python 2.7
2. Download packhack (from here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...d-3ds-roms-run-xy-oras-without-update.383055/) and extract it (http://pastebin.com/A1s8cmsD) links also in this pastebin
3. Go to the ISO site. Download a CIA (in this case it's pre-patched with Rutile Ruby/Sapphire). Make sure you don't use any gameupdates from the eshop for any of the pokemon games, or delete them.
4. Check the game you want to use within HANS and open the ROMFS Path tab and note down the file name it wants for Code & Romfs file. You will need to rename files to the filename its looking for.
5. Exit HANS & Turn off the DS, and put your SD card back into your computer.
6. Place your CIA of the game you want to use in the same folder as packhack
7. Open a notepad file and paste in this, after pasting save as ctrtool.bat and place it in the same folder as ctrtool, which should be in your packhack folder.

Code:
ctrtool --contents=contents name.cia
ctrtool -p --exefs=exefs.bin contents.0000.00000000
ctrtool -t exefs --exefsdir=exefs --decompresscode exefs.bin
ctrtool -p --romfs=romfs.bin contents.0000.00000000

(replace name.cia with CIA file name so for example: Rutile.cia) <--- Very important

1. After letting it extract ROMFS + EXFs through ctrtools you will have an Romfs.bin + exefs folder.
2. Open HxD and open Romfs.bin, ctrl + E and set length with hex checked to 1000. This should select 000->FF0. Press backspace and it should move the rest of the data in the file to the top. Save it. <---Very important. Will not work if done wrong
3. Rename Romfs.bin now to titleid.romfs (title id being what you got from HANS)
4. Open exefs folder, and take code.bin and rename it to titleid.code
5. Place on your SD in HANS folder.
6. Run HANS with Code + Romfs selected. Don't use any other options at all in HANS. I haven't tested if they work.

Smealum has let out something that says it is compatible with HANS. You probably should stick to the main thread for it to see what they have done so far.

For use with HANS, you need to have a hans folder on the root of your SD card with the romhack files in it!

If you can get me some more ones if they are released, let me know!

 

[Pikasack]

Just reserved I guess

Note: Currently there are none released by developers for now, but this list will keep on growing as they become available!

How about the Fire Emblem If: Fantranslation?
I heard they want to release a Patch, too.

This.
I need someone to test this.
I need someone to download the pack, and try it out with hans as my little brother doesn't want me poking around with his Y.

Just got confirmation that this method will not work!

Method:

Spoiler

Instructions:
Get the package from the official thread.
http://projectpokemon.org/forums/showthread.php?46215-Pokemon-Neo-Y-amp-Neo-X

Then go inside the Installastion hub folder.

(open another window for SD card)
Now either create a folder on the root of your SD card called "hans".

Put the romfs folder from either the Full Or Lite package in the hans folder.

Then go into the banner thing and go the version for your game and into the exe folder for it and copy the .bin files into the hans folder.

Now put your SD card in your 3ds and open up homebrew and go into hans.

Now select the two options that say romfs and the other one that says > SD.

Launch it and tell me if it works.

Note: You might have to play around with it for a bit.

This should work with Sky3ds right? So...we should be able to play modified roms with sky3ds now?

You will need the original ROM, other then that it should work.

 

[Blundermann]

This.
Launch it and tell me if it works.

It does not work. It appears as though HANS wants to use a single .romfs file rather than a tree of folders. I can't quite figure it out.

Me either, worth a try.

 

[~Rainbow Mika]

Oh yeah, there's also Rutile Ruby and Star Sapphire romhacks.

How to get a Romhack to run? I want to try NEO Y.

We are still trying to figure this out.

I was able to get modded items in the Pokemart so far. But thats about it. So I can only get one modded file at a time. Not everything(banner music, etc)

 

[CeeDee]

Anyone know how I can go about extracting the romfs and exefs from a CIA file? I need to test something out.

 

[Pikasack]

Has anyone tried to rename the romfs folder to ".romfs"?

 

[SoyAlexPop]

You can add Asia's Bravely Defaul uncensored to the list. Asia is working on making the rom able to use in HANS

 

[Deleted User]

Has anyone tried to rename the romfs folder to ".romfs"?

I have. You get this error if you do

 

[Megalegacy98]

I can't even get the romfs extracted...

 

[Neru]

How does this work? Ins't it romfs.bin? Is saying filename.romfs? New format I guess.
