I'll piggyback off Procyon's instructions on how to use Rutile Ruby with a physical cart, and clarify some spots. This worked for me.
Install Python 2.7 and then
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 with CIA file name)
Install Python 2.7 and then
- Download packhack (from here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/tutoria...d-3ds-roms-run-xy-oras-without-update.383055/) and extract it
- 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.
- Meanwhile check the program you want to run with hacks do this using Hans and selecting the program. And move to romfs and select yes write down the name.
- Exit Hans.
- Power off the 3DS
- Extract the zips on your PC. (Put the CIA in the same folder as the packhack)
- Open a notepad file and paste in, after pasting save as ctrtool.bat and place it in the same folder as ctrtool
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 with CIA file name)
- After extracting ROMFS + EXFs through ctrtools you will have Romfs.bin + exefs folder.
- 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.
- Rename Romfs.bin now to titleid.romfs (title id being what you got from HANS)
- Open exefs folder, and take code.bin and rename it to titleid.code
- Place on your SD in HANS folder.
- Run HANS with Code + Romfs selected. Don't use any other options at all in HANS. I haven't tested if they work.
