Homebrew VC injection 3.0: HANS injection

[shutterbug2000]

So, after 2 patched browser sploits, I think it's time for a new way to do vc injection: using smea's new HANS homebrew.

So, what do you need to do this? Well, let's see!

A legit, purchased virtual console game that is gb/c, nes, or gba

braindump

packhack

and a 3ds with *hax 2.5

NOTE: This will WIPE the save of the virtual console game you choose to use this with. To keep the save and swap them out, use svdt.

Now, how do we perform this? Well, you're first going to want to run braindump on your 3ds, selecting the virtual console game you wish to inject into. Wait for braindump to dump all the files. Now, take the sd and put it in a PC. Navigate to the new folder on the sd card that is called 00040000(other numberd here). Now, go into packhack and run "romfs extractor", selecting the romfs.bin within that folder. Wait for this to finish. Now, go into the folder on the sd card, and go into romfs_, then rom. Now, copy the nes, gb/c, or gba(gba NOT recommended, super slow...) rom into the folder. Now, go back into packhack, this time running "romfs builder". Select the romfs_ folder, and save this as a bin file somewhere. Now, open the .bin in HxD(google it). Press ctrl+e, and make the end offset 0xfff. Press delete, confirm if necessary, then save this. Now, copy it to the hans folder on the root of the sd, with the name (last 8 digits of that folder).romfs. Run hans, select the vc, and enable romfs modification. It should now run the vc with your custom rom.

To use this with nes roms, run this tool on the nes rom.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Forewarning - you'll need to make a VNES header if you want NES 3DS VC to work, I believe.

Ah, what do we need to do that so I can add it?

Wow, I haven't finished yet but there are a lot of options you can customize for the VC. That's weird.

Does the rom needs to be the same size as the one you already have?

 

[GBAFail]

Does the file need to be named anything specific BTW?

 

[shutterbug2000]

Nope. It can be any size!

No, anything you want.

You might have missed it. Does the need to be named anything in particular?
EDIT: NVM, we posted at the same time. Lol.

Great, will try it. Another question: If i have a GameBoy VC, can I inject a GameBoy Color rom?

Yeah, you can even inject a gba game into a gb vc at 1 frame per 10 seconds XD

 

[GBAFail]

Do I delete the file in the rom folder?

 

[zbw2000]

wow, i didn't even think that was possible.

 

[shutterbug2000]

Do I delete the file in the rom folder?

Yeah, it might cause issues if you don't.

(although I believe on nes there's actually multirom)

Hey, it says 0xfff is invalid.

 

[shutterbug2000]

Hey, it says 0xfff is invalid.

Try just fff without the 0x

Hmm when I enter the modified VC game it prompts to reset the savedate, however, when doing so, it freezes.
